Yeah, half way to mount Buller. That's metro Melbourne? Wow. Healesville is a long way out as is Warburton, but Matlock... That is wop-wops on steroids.I hope they get it under control quickly, the covid-19 virus does tend to hide though.
The difference between NZ's method of fighting the virus compared to many other nations is they do not let it get to several thousand cases by going hard and fast. Fiji also went hard and fast when covid-19 first hit there, today they still have numbers, but they have very low numbers. And when there is very low numbers, it's easier to contain the virus, and prevent it from spreading.
Here in Victoria there are 7877 active cases, 468 of those active cases are in a single postcode that is shared by just three suburbs, when it gets to those numbers, it's tough to get under control. And even with a lot of contact tracing, there are still several mystery cases. Then there are other postcodes with 341, 310, 303 active cases, all very high levels of covid-19 for small areas.
Thank God I am not living in those postcode areas, still under stage 4 restrictions though, but I am a safe distance away from the epicenters, pretty much on the edge of the bush, with some nice big open paddocks across the road and mountains surrounding us. Just gotta wash hands after opening mail.

i am still amazed that Greater Melbourne expands Eastwards 165 kilometres from the city into the wilderness (2 and 50 minutes away, nearly 3 hours), once past the Lilydale line there is nothing that could be considered metropolitan Melbourne, Mount Matlock is even considered Greater Melbourne, the border is basically at Matlock near Woods Point, do you know how remote that is?
The question I keep asking though with all this chaos, are there more people dying of covid than a bad flu year? We keep hearing these numbers of elderly folk dying, and that's sad for their loved ones, and yet strangely there's no one dying of flu? It's all covid and flu decided to give everyone a rest this year?

wadr this focusing on the "infection rate" for a virus is like testing for ppl who have breathed the wind?There had been warnings by our Govt that we could be facing community transmission at any time particularly since NSW had a resurgence of covid 19 infections. In the past weeks we have been asked to stay diligent, get tested if we are feeling unwell, stay at home if we are sick, stock up on face masks and follow the distance and hygiene practices as we had done in the past. Our levels have now changed about an hour ago
Covid 19 coronavirus: Auckland in lockdown, rest of country in level 2 - Four cases of community transmission
If we recall, the initial response was intended to "flatten the curve," implying that everyone eventually gets exposed, yeh?
its a chimera, ok, a distraction, meant to divert the focus (away from the theft of the treasury) almost surely
I took my wife to see the doctor yesterday who oversees her weekly immunoglobulin injections [due to her severely compromised immune system]. He is a blood specialist as well as an oncologist working in a cancer clinic. His nurse was wearing both face mask and a clear plastic face covers that seem to be common these days, especially among health professionals. When the doctor came in he was also wearing a mask. No one was allowed in the clinic without a mask.
My daughter is an RN who works as a surgical nurse at the local hospital for long hours. She always wears a mask... as does anyone who enters the hospital for any reason.
My wife sees several specialists regularly due to her poor health. They all wear masks and recommend that we wear masks. Some people are adversely affected to an extreme by the wearing of masks and they are able to exemptions to the rules which apply in our city anytime we are outside. There are not too many like that. My wife has at least three different lung problems as well as heart trouble but she also wears a mask when she has to be out of our home.
Perhaps some people, even experts, can come up with good reasons why the masks are not necessary, but my wife and I are not experts. We must follow the lead of doctors we know personally and trust. To do otherwise would be foolish. Should we follow the example of our president who is rarely ever seen wearing one? He is certainly not a medical doctor.
God could keep us without masks as well, but he has not given me a revelation that I should not wear one. To go without mask in public against the advice of people who know more than me given what I do know, would I believe, be to tempt God. I cannot speak for anyone else! My wife agrees with me.
I would hate to wear a mask for the rest of my life when I go outside, but I really want to obey God first. I still have no revelation that to wear a mask is contrary to God's will for me and mine.

Reminds me of a YouTube video family that I watch (the Holderness) and the mom dressed in the same getup and yell to everyone if they needed anything from the store because she wasn't going to answer the phone at the store
Don't know what you are talking about. Prior to the pandemic our govt debt under the Labour party was down to around 19% of GDP. This debt level was much lower than most OECD countries, which positioned us well for an economic shock like COVID-19.

oh, yes, im sure your gov has some sense down there
we've gone Full Zimbabwe up here tho see
but id say remember that "flatten the curve"--the first real directive we heard about c19 right--implies absolutely no less "exposures" long term; they were even clear about that at first. The truth is implied in the phrase, "flatten the curve"

I'm not sure if the American response to C19 is to flatten the curve or eradication but this is the way that NZ is handling it so far. We have been going hard and fast.
Our Govt announced in a live update this afternoon that our overall C19 strategy remains elimination. That requires the on-going stamping out of the virus any time it comes back.
