I hear that Dear Leader in the Tasmanian bubble / DPRT has extended the state of emergency for another 2 months.

That graphic was as of the 27th. Today's (as of the 28th) new cases are now out by LGA and there are still none listed for Wodonga.
Wodonga is still shown as zero active cases.
Perhaps this is unrelated. But, on and off over the past two months, we've heard more or less the same story. Two people in Albury infected by someone from Wodonga. It's been used to justify some extraordinarily unfriendly behaviour by people whom we thought were friends. At no point, thus far, has that ever been backed up.
Jack is fine, and lives in NSW.
Great to see the daily number of new cases decline but deaths aren’t. I wonder what the 7 day average on deaths is? I know deaths are a lagging indicator but It seems if you are living in an aged care facility in Melbourne and catch Covid your chances of survival are not that great. No wonder NSW has now closed aged care facilities to visitors in Sydney with the sudden uptick if cases here.Victoria’s headline number is 94 new cases and 18 deaths - first day down to double digit new cases.
Perhaps it’s now not a matter of the number.I wonder how many infections a day that Australia is ok to deal with to resume a post covid life. Back in March there was an anticipated thousands of people in ICU pretty much in every state. Never came close to maybe 100 at one time Australia wide. While the number of infections in Europe has increased, I read today that the illness doesnt seem as serious and is requiring less hospital intervention. In reality, other than the Nursing Home dire situation, possibly that has also been the case with the second wave Victoria situation. We simply beat Europe to the second wave.
Yes, way back in February the plan was once the first wave had receeded, that suburb/industry close downs was the way to manage this and try to return to some kind of normal. Unfortunately the quarantine mismanagement threw those plans out the door but its time to revisit. They certainly need to protect aged care homes, and hospitals etc, and with better infection control (masks for staff and visitors, who would be limited); better payments for staff there who are sick and so they stay home, and dont work at multiple facilities and so on) I'm thinking that is very much Morrisons agenda.Hotspot declarations, causing city-wide Covid alerts at venues And lockdown of aged care, disability care and more PPE use at hospitals (and presumably police/ADF, etc).
Yes, but for whatever reason the suburb hotspot Didn’t seem to work given normal movements in cities (MELb, Syd, SE QLD)Yes, way back in February the plan was once the first wave had receeded, that suburb/industry close downs was the way to manage this and try to return to some kind of normal.
