This is the most poorly worded poll question of all time.

I admit, I was starting to responsibly take advantage of restaurants opening up, but I’m pretty much back to staying at home except for essentials, exercise and study. Deliveroo can take my money for a bit longer.

No it hasnt changed my behaviour....once a c! always a c!. Ha ha!

Been isolating since March! I don’t want germs!!!

Masked up on 2 Uber rides. Gonna wear them most times I shop indoors (which isn’t much).

I've been tested for minor symptoms. Just to be sure.

It hasn’t changed my behaviour in the slightest. I’m still going out for essential travel so nothing has changed in that regard. I blame the Andrews government because their incompetence is becoming clear for all to see and I’ve been consistent with that from the word go

Hasn’t changed as my attitude is still the same from start. Stay home

Won’t go near halal areas thats for sure .

Everyone that voted yes, please explain why you ignored the Andrews governments health directions; yet seem perfectly happy to blame them for the new cases? Is it because of conflicting information published in the media?

No, as I have been maintaining social distancing and limiting my contacts and will continue to do so to protect not only myself but my patients and community.

Surge?! Irresponsible writing, start reporting on the important stuff-mortality rate going down, not “active cases” which is a rubbish, fear mongering stat... and I’m a lefty...

Mask wearing: when taking public transport or visiting shopping centers.

No remained cautious even when restrictions eased - which is what we’re all supposed to have done

Yes it has. I’m less likely to catch up for coffee with JcCusin23 now. It’s a shame, but you have to do what’s best for the community.

No. I've been in isolation 4months aside from urgent med appts. Looks like I'll have to remain this way now 😔

And with 44%saying no here is your reason for the spike. People are too stupid

Changed one thing bank card so I can tap instead of type..continue to distance and take precautions...

Voted no as I've continued to be cautious despite the positive results we were seeing a few weeks ago. Being a germaphobe helps too...

I’m continuing to be really careful. Planning for a longer period of not being able to get back to the office. These spikes are to be expected until we get a vaccine.

I voted no because I never stopped taking precautions. It was clear all along to anyone paying attention that there were still cases around in my area (Moreland) and the lack of care I was seeing in others in public spaces made me more concerned not less.

I’m continuing to follow the guidelines to protect my family and my students. I’m not the expert so I’ll do as I’m told in this case. 🤞
