Looks like Brett cleaned himself up. Maybe got a haircut 💇🏼‍♂️?

Wouldn’t it be more likely they have had a previous but unknown infection rather than a false positive?

1/x Quoting, Victoria's CHO Brett Sutton says a person who tested positive for coronavirus in Shepparton may turn out NOT to have virus. „..result ... was being treated as a positive [for now].“

Tell us the cycle threshold numbers of all positive cases! How many above 35? How many required retests? No transparency amd nobody knows any better.

The CHO has presided over the biggest Health Issue this state has ever seen. He has failed since May. He and his entire department should be removed and replaced with competent healthcare practitioners.

Labor IQ tests may be false positives

migga I assume you're already on to this? You're too on top of it for me to keep up with your data so I feel like you've probably accounted for it, sorry if this wastes your time.

Sutton IS a fake positive

Victorian chief health officer backflips on mystery case threshold | Sky News AustraliaVictorian Chief Health Minister Brett Sutton has backflipped on the state’s coronavirus threshold for moving to the next step out of lockdown on October 18. \n\nUnder the Andrews roadmap, Metropolitan Melbourne must record five or less new cases per day, while no more than five mystery cases can be recorded in the 14 days prior, in order to further ease restrictions. \n\nWhen asked what would happen if Melbourne failed to meet the five per day average, Mr Sutton said the state had to focus on getting the cases lower. \n\n“We do have to meet the thresholds,” he said. \n\n“The mystery cases in particular is a really important one to meet.\n\n“The successful jurisdictions internationally and in Australia have gotten to five or fewer cases in a 14-day period when they've been able to maintain control into the long-term.\n\n“Places that haven't met that threshold have not been able to do that. So that's an important one'.\n\nHowever, when probed further about the likelihood of completely ruling out moving to the next stage if Victoria reported more than five mystery cases, Mr Sutton said he would not rule it out completely. \n\n“We can have more than five mystery cases,” he said. \n\n“We'd have to see exactly where we were at at that time including the trend.” \n VictorianCHO leopard spots no changeee - fire the ratbag VictorianCHO VictorianCHO well of course they have, they continually move the goal posts so we can never get out, they will always find a way to keep us trapped in our homes!
