This is just a line of attack, and a pretty low and unfounded one at that. I realise that you didn't come up with it but it just doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Put simply, there have been over 1000 fewer deaths in aged care this year as opposed to the same timeframe last year. If you really want to attribute deaths in aged care to the prime minister, then he should be congratulated.

Aged care has plenty of issues, which the PM acknowledged by calling a Royal Commission into it, but if people want to reduce it down to a death count for political point scoring then by that matrix he has actually done well.

considering they pretty much been blocked since March..... be a bit of a backlog..
Driving tests will resume in Melbourne when the city reaches step three reopening target

Quote

By Kate Lahey

The Victorian Government will "turbo charge" its capacity to test learner drivers as the state emerges out of lockdown restrictions, Premier Daniel Andrews has announced.

The government will provide extra assessment centres, begin online testing for learners and offer cheaper testing for Victorians affected by the suspension of tests during the pandemic.

Testing will resume in Melbourne when the city moves to step three on its road map to COVID normal. Depending on new case numbers, that could happen on October 19.

Six more temporary testing sites will open by early next year, creating a total of 12 new sites since June.

Learners are presently able to practise driving in Melbourne if they are leaving home for one of four permitted reasons - for example going to the supermarket or to work – but cannot go out solely for the purpose of driving practice.

They must remain within a five-kilometre radius and driving lessons are still not permitted.

I don't think they ALL hate him. I think alot of people are reluctant to openly support him because of the negative response it gets.

Without trying to get political, there are just as many tools in other states, hopefully, Victoria has got its contact tracing sorted now, both NSW and QLD have had outbreaks, but been able to keep on top of it, I think that is where the real difference has been.

More cases expected from outbreak in northern suburbs

The health department expects more coronavirus cases to be detected in a growing outbreak in Melbourne’s northern suburbs that has resulted in more than 500 people being told to self-isolate.

America today reported 77000 new cases. I think we're doing OK. Hopefully a bit more relaxing for us Melburnians tomorrow, the end is getting closer.

Monday my eldest is back at school which is great. A bit of normality for Asha.

Hope all other Vic swaggers are safe as well as the rest of the members throughout the lucky country.

Just watching the news. Covid related deaths in the UK are now over 44k.

However, I noticed that any death is recorded as a covid related death if it has happened within 28 days of a positive test.

edz · « **Reply #1572 on:** October 24, 2020, 08:35:39 AM »

So potentialy could have expired WITH the Corona virus rather than FROM the Coronavirus .
Also have to put the 77000 cases into perspective to a degree with the 350.000.000 they have in their population ..

D4D · « **Reply #1573 on:** October 26, 2020, 02:59:33 PM »

Melburnians are free, well almost...

Pete79 · « **Reply #1574 on:** October 26, 2020, 03:02:23 PM »

Was awesome to see those numbers this morning.
0 and 0

Hopefully you all get some sort of lives back soon.
