The weather in Melbourne can absolutely get fucked. After what we’ve gone through to have to deal with this shit is embarrassing. Hey melbourne…

Beautiful day in Melbourne. Saw a flock of trampolines flying south over the bay. Majestic.

Staying inside all day because you can > staying inside all day because you have to

[Belinda Barnet @manjusrii]

Just got asked for my vaccine certificate for the first time!

Businesses: don’t apologise for asking.

Most Melbournians are grateful that you care enough about the health of your community & all your customers/clients to do it.

[Dr Vyom Sharma @drvyom]

Great thread, lessons for Aus to heed now & avoid pain in few months time. For now we’re protected by seasonality and relatively recent vaccination (mostly)
Factors highlighted:
- indoor mixing
- waning immunity/breakthrough infections
- masks
- vaccinating children
- sick leave

Barnaby says they’ve only had 4 hours to decide on an emissions target. And that wasn’t enough.

But they’ve actually had around 70080 hours and that’s seems like a pretty reasonable amount of time.

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

If Australia's death rate was the same as the US or UK, we'd have recorded 52702 deaths instead of 2334.

Because our state leaders mostly made unpopular decisions based on science, and millions made huge sacrifices, there are 50000 people alive now who wouldn't have been.

From that breach of quarantine protocol in transport from Sydney airport in June there have now been 112,000 Covid-19 cases in NSW, Vic, ACT and NZ. This time last year journos were still hounding Dan about a Melb HQ breach in May. This year? Silence. Puzzling isn't it?

[Victorian Department of Health @VicGovDH]

"I'm 17 years old, and last month, I almost died from COVID."

Saela was the youngest COVID patient in Victoria on a ventilator.

Her message to young people: "I don't want anyone my age to lie in a hospital bed & say to their family 'I'm sorry, I didn't get vaccinated in time'".

[Benjamin Law 羅旭能 @mrbenjaminlaw]

Honestly, if you live in Victoria and are still managing to: (1) find any remnants of daily joy; and (2) maintain basic standards of personal hygiene, you’re doing great.

[Andrew P Street, The @AndrewPStreet]

Just a reminder that SA and Tasmania also have closed borders and are refusing to open to the eastern states any time soon, and yet seem to avoid the constant scrutiny that QLD and WA get for their covid policies. Almost as though it’s only a problem if it’s a Labor government.

[Jo Lauder @jolauder]

Spare a thought for all the millennials who will have to talk their parents through linking their vaccine certificate to their check-in app over the phone 🙏

Don’t forget to set your clocks forward an hour tonight.

Or if you’re Scott Morrison, set it backwards 12 months and order enough vaccines.

[Hannah @hankennedy]

Agree. There has to be, and should have been other strategies before making the vaccine mandatory.
