I think Vic  numbers are spiking for a number of reasons, not just the new strain.
Some People have had enough.
The constant threat of it coming south over the Murray
The mixed message with the constant talk of easing restrictions and living with it, yet we haven't got the numbers under control.
and when you have winners like this...

The Drag Challenge 2021 organisers are still hoping to go ahead with it in October. (In Vic)

Can't see any Qld cars getting through NSW by then and can't NSW doing anything at all by then.

Being optimistic is one thing, but i think Covid/delta will knock it on the head.

Melbourne:
 Covid Outbreak at contact tracing call centre
Classic!

Qld...
All students at a Queensland school will need to quarantine for 14 days if a family who allegedly travelled back into the state via back roads from Melbourne continue to refuse to be tested for COVID-19.
The Australian International Islamic College at Carrara on the Gold Coast was closed after it was revealed some of its students had “boasted” about illegally travelling back into Queensland from hot spot Melbourne.
So far, the family-of-five, including three children under the age of 10, has refused to be tested, despite some family members becoming unwell.

They have been placed into 14-day hotel quarantine.

Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said two of the children went to school on Tuesday and told classmates they had been to Melbourne.

I hope that all that are doing it hard in Isolation are doing OK.

At the moment I know my family are struggling and I have concerns about my kids Schooling via zoom out of the classroom. I am not sure what this is going to do to their education.

I have a meeting tonight for work and I believe we will be put on reduced load due to the 25% limit we have on consruction in Victoria.

If your doing it hard make sure you reach out to someone, keep safe and get vacinated as soon as possible so we can hopefully get back to some normality, what ever that may be in the future.

They are forecasting we will hit the National vaccination level mid to late November. The pressure will really be on to open up. Whether it will be the right decision will remain to be seen.

Agree.
