Hey @VictorianCHO. Your old mate @DanielAndrewsMP has set you up an absolute ripper here! He’s put the interstate mask wearing All IN YOUR HANDS! What are you going to do? You just may well end up more unpopular than him this time next week.
Premier says he'll have talks with the CHO this week.. about his advice about whether Victorian restrictions should follow Victorians.. when we are allowed into other states...
HUH?!
@NicConway11@DanielAndrewsMP Not bad @NicConway11. Vic has 3 active cases. That’s 0.1 cases per 100k ppl. NSW has 42 cases which equates to 0.5 cases per 100k ppl. As we have been told it’s “wildly infectious” in Vic only. I’ll keep driving the 5km to Albury where it’s less contagious to be safe.
@SkyNewsAust In Wodonga being a border resident we’re free to cross into Albury where a mask isn’t required. Like it or not, people are heading to Albury to eat, shop, gyms, go for walks & just spend the day to enjoy the luxury of no face masks then driving back home & masking up. Nonsensical
@adrianbarich @7NewsPerth Massive expectations on Presscot. Ultimately anything but a Premiership in 2021 for @ClaremontTigers is a fail...regardless, Tony Evans and Grant Toovey (puppet) will be responsible.
@DavidHodgettMP@Karonleahely Same question that many regional Vic’s are asking...COVID is almost eliminated in regional Vic & inexplicably they still have restrictions. I live in Wodonga which has NOT HAD A CASE. Meanwhile 5kms away in Albury you can have a wedding with 300 people? Same virus, same country!
@DanielAndrewsMP Glad the kids can take their masks off for photos in Vic now. We were going to get our students in Wodonga to make the 5 minute drive to Albury (that we are now free to access) where people don’t have to wear them. COVID is less contagious in Albury apparently.
@sophieelsworth In COVID free Wodonga (never had a case) our gyms are closed but we can freely access them with a 5 min drive to Albury. Like it or not people are bypassing Wodonga businesses already struggling & heading to Albury for the day to enjoy not wearing face masks. It’s ludicrous!
@VictorianCHO When can we expect the “almost certain” growth of COVID cases in Shepparton that both government and media created panic and hysteria about?
@Lachy_Reid@WAFLOfficial @10NewsFirstPER Craziness! Has Tony Evans’ name all over it. Internally it’s known that Grant Toovey is a puppet to guys like, Evans and others. Keep in mind Evans isn’t even on the board!?! You would would be a brave man to take on the vacant job.
@NicConway11@DanielAndrewsMP I should say that I have seen this printed somewhere else so I can’t claim it as my homework....regardless, it’s compelling detail.
@NicConway11@DanielAndrewsMP Is there anywhere else in the world with a 14 day rolling average of .4 that would not have students at school in full capacity, gyms closed, considerable restrictions on eateries and who we can’t/can visit as well as mandatory wearing of masks?
@7NewsMelbourne @harro_6 imagine if you copped a fine every time for you bought fried chicken. I estimate it would have equated to around $143,724 in fines...
@Ro_Smith@newscomauHQ Don’t forget Wodonga (45k people) at the other end of the state. Has actually NEVER had a case - our last and only reported case 64 days ago was that of a former resident who had moved to Melbourne but had not changed his/residential address.
@SvensonJosh@abcnews And tax payers money saved. Yackandandah in COVID free NE Vic - population of 1150. 459 of those work in Albury NSW. Due to stg 3 restrictions & border closure they weren’t allowed to cross the border to work. This equated to more than $2m in Jobkeeper payments. Just one example.
@Karonleahely@DanielAndrewsMP Or he could talk about large regional Victorian towns like Wodonga that have not had a positive case for 57 days. Better position than Qld, S.A, NSW & W.A! There are in excess of 50k people here that are screaming to contribute to our economy in a low risk & measured way.
