Andrews stands firm on mandatory masks in Victoria | Sky News Australia

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has stood firm on his decision to continue mandatory face masks despite the state recording very low virus numbers. The state has experienced its lowest daily increase in cases since mid-June with only five new cases and three fatalities recorded in the last 24-hour period.

“I've been clear in my judgement, significant benefit, very low cost … I know they are not pleasant to wear,” Mr Andrews said. “I think they play an important part. “There will come a time when they're not needed and when that time comes, then people won't have to wear them. But far from easing this, I can tell you the public health team are motivated to make sure that these shields without a face covering and a fitted face covering and mask are not enough.

DanielAndrewsMP If Austrailians think like this this, fuck em...

DanielAndrewsMP Daniel andrews should wear a muzzle so he shuts up. He is talking a lot of rubbish. There is no scientific proven proof that masks prevent COVID-19.

DanielAndrewsMP Sorry to ask - is that a 3ply mask BrettSutton

DanielAndrewsMP Is that the same health team who said you didn't have to wear masks back in March

DanielAndrewsMP You can roll your mask up like a tampon & shove it up your vagina...Enough is enough you idiot..Seven months with no masks hardly no cases..last couple of months wearing mask and we had a whole heap of cases as you predicted the second wave...do you think people are that stupid..

DanielAndrewsMP Andrews & his cohorts ARE the virus 🦠

DanielAndrewsMP

DanielAndrewsMP No mask for me!

DanielAndrewsMP It's not about a virus. It's about control. And the people let him pass and only whinge online, by making a specific hashtag trending. 😐🥺

DanielAndrewsMP masks are not a substitute for other, more effective ways to protect yourself and others against COVID-19 such as frequently washing your hands, covering your cough with the bend of elbow or tissue and maintain a distance of at least 1 meter from others. Ref WHO website

DanielAndrewsMP Chinese Virologist Dr. LiMengYan put her life on the line to claim ccpvirus was developed in a PLA lab in Wuhan with the knowledge of the ccp regime.For the reason Li-Meng Yan has come to 🇺🇸to seek protection, CCP made who telling the truth disappeared.

DanielAndrewsMP Well done Dan. The reason there was only five cases overnight us because of you. If these numnuts had their way that would have been 500 or even 5000. But no. You did the hard yards no conservative wants to do and you stopped the second wave in it’s tracks. So proud of you.

DanielAndrewsMP Dandemic

DanielAndrewsMP you try working outside in the heat with one, you are so fucking out of touch with reality, it is all right for you in your aircon office, why are we the only State making these fcking things permanent and nobody else is? this will mean beaches will be closed too

DanielAndrewsMP Masks make no difference, with this virus, it has mutated to bypass the masks.

DanielAndrewsMP While there is a certain face validity (no pun intended) to the universal wearing of face masks limiting infections, there is no evidence they are effective in reducing spread of covid throughout populations, despite considerable data that would reveal such a correlation.

DanielAndrewsMP

DanielAndrewsMP Fixed it for you: The state recording very low virus numbers has occurred because Victorian Premier DanielAndrewsMP has stood firm on his decision to continue mandatory face masks.

DanielAndrewsMP narcissism at its worse..it’s a control thing. DanielAndrewsMP needs to extend the panic to keep control 😡😡😡😡 resignDanAndrews GiveDanTheBoot SackDanAndrews auspol andrewsmustgo sunriseon7 theprojecttv

DanielAndrewsMP Should be mandatory in all states

DanielAndrewsMP DanLiedPeopleDied

DanielAndrewsMP So whats his take on the four humours

DanielAndrewsMP now bandanna/ scarf (everything not a mask) in is not illegal .. that means Islamic women with hijab also must wear one

DanielAndrewsMP He can shove the mask in his mouth. Never wearing one!

DanielAndrewsMP If people get to Asian habit of wearing masks when they have a flu or cold, nobody else would need to. But people fancy the freedom of coughing and sneezing in every one faces....

DanielAndrewsMP Flattening the curve if I remember correctly. What is happening now is elimination of the virus & jobs that arent govt controlled. Was this the plan all along? How can any small business survive this, they cant

DanielAndrewsMP The virus is not air born, the masks were never needed. The box the surgical masks come in says the mask is not recommended for use against COVID. This information has been out for months, why is he still pushing it. He must think everybody is illiterate.

DanielAndrewsMP Yep he continues to put the people of Victoria ahead of what certain media outlets want. DanAndrewsLegend!

DanielAndrewsMP There will just be more people now wearing no face covering and citing health reasons. It’s not enforceable This man has no ability to read the room

DanielAndrewsMP Well yes. Have you not considered that the wearing of face masks might have something to do with the low case numbers or is it just too difficult to see the obvious connection at Sky?

DanielAndrewsMP great work, everything he said he would do, is happening but not fast enough for idiots with twitter no name handles idiotbots and dumbasses..

DanielAndrewsMP There is no vaccine ‘journalists’.

DanielAndrewsMP good
