Victorians worthy of much respect and gratitude right now. What a wonderful achievement and Australia thanks you.

I am losing it in Melbourne . Couple nice days lately, cannot wait to get down the beach....

Good job! In NSW here,, fuck all cases here. Vic gov needs to keep on top of contact tracing and you’ll be sweet.
TheFinalWerewolf
Now do 100 days without the covid denier gangs roaming the streets! :D

Yay for Dan Andrews not on the beers but something from a higher shelf!! ?
AnndyEdwards
I laughed at that too, first question off the bat ?
NZSheeps
Congrats. Now just make sure the security on the quarantine hotels don't get frisky (again)
Lulabel73
It was actually a kid wiping their shit on the walls that did it.
transientmind
I read that ground zero was actually the hotel manager. Security were a scapegoat.

Appreciate you guys taking the hit, so we can get back to relative normality. And respect to the contract tracers and health services.

Not one politician has thanked Victoria. We live on a FUCKING island.

Your premier seemed to be thanking all of Victoria daily, while copping flack from higher up.

Nice one Vic! All of Aus is stoked for ya! Love, WA.

This means a lot, thank you ?

Yep. You have done it tuff. Go well. Best WA wishes. ??

It seriously sucked hearing about family and friends having relatively normal lives while we had curfews, 5km radius limitations and mandato
PeanutMama88
Mandatory masks , 1hr exercise restrictions etc. But all worthwhile of course!

I'm just worried about covidiots who reckon 1 day with 0 cases means they can go and throw massive parties again

Good for you. Good for Victoria. It’s tiresome, it’s frustrating, but collectively you’ve save 00’s if not 000’s of lives.
AustralopithecusBoisei
Awesome. We're not that good out there so check your borders and stay safe. Cheers from France.

Now to fuck all the people sooking about it off.

Starting with the newspapers and media advocating failed strategies with high casualties.

Newscorp should be banned from publishing in Australia on moral grounds. As in they have none.
gurlsnuggler
I fully agree. Canberra has something to answer for going against urgent and reasonable life saving measures too.
gurlsnuggler
Amazing to see all the media, conveniently owned by foreign interests, push a deep level of division when lives were on the line.

Thank you kindly. Trying my best to hang in there but it’s hard - and even harder when you live alone. Appreciate your support. Cheers
PhillMcCracken
Sorry to hear it. What did you do pre-COVID? What do you want to do?
SethCronyn
Thank you. I worked as a data analyst at a mailing house. I just want stability of any sort right now, to be honest.
PhillMcCracken
Maybe check out one of the big banks. I know one atleast who is taking on more analysts and data scientists.
SethCronyn
Sadly, I’m not that kind of data analyst. My specialty was mailing-related. I’ve tried AusPost and other mailing places, to no avail.
PhillMcCracken
Sorry to hear it. I recently changed field due to job security issues, from medical research to finance. Not easy. Reach out if I can help.

Victorian here. It’s been a long road with a lot of lows, but we did it. I almost can’t believe it’s finally over.

Don’t get complacent though. Still should be Diligent with social distancing and masks to keep it that way.
ThunderRoad7889
Preach! In Ireland we did ~70 then eased out gradually. People got complacent and the gov were hesitant to increase restrictions again 1/2
ThunderRoad7889
2/2 Now we're in a 2nd wave with higher numbers and have just entered a 6 week lockdown-ish. Schools still open(what?) & people still stupid

100%! No way we wanna be back in this situation again.

In the Florida of the Midwest (WI), we are fucked. Our gov is trying to save us, but the GOP legislators keep overturning everything he does
SuedeDenimSecretPolice
I swear there's like 5 whole people in this state who have been responsible. Wi is going to get fucked raw in the coming winter wave.
giordanom
Same here in PA. We have Tom Wolf, but Republicans have put on massive campaigns to stop him, even got court to strike down quarantine.
TheBeardedWelder
I hear ya, South Dakota here. Our governor just came out and pretty much said that she still isnt convince that masks do anything

Probably the first and last time are states have every wanted work together lol jk

Also, our tavern league sues the Governor when lever he tries to protect the people of the state. And the state legislature is awful.
itsthevoiceman
Not true, right? Because there's some serious implications if it's crossed back into animals from humans...
whatisthisproductivityyouspeakof
It's crossed back into several different species of animals. Has been since at least April.
itsthevoiceman
Was that human to animal, or animal to animal?
whatisthisproductivityyouspeakof
from what I've read, both. Mostly human to animal out in the world (pets, zoos), but also a couple small studies showed animal to animal.

Fuck.

We probably will pay for if it keeps them in.

Still unsure why people were sitting on andrews. I reckon he did as good a job st handling covid as anyone else.

Tends to happen when literally every media group in the country attacks you on the Reg because you are a Labor leader.

If there are enough susceptible people (there are) and they don't behave appropriate (which is doubtful), it will come back (check Europe)

As long as we keep vigilant with the international arrivals, we'll be fine from here I reckon. We've learnt.

That's what we've been doing in the maritimes. (Canada). Been working well so far. 3 outbreaks squashed.
