Facts show there is ‘no need’ for a lockdown in Victoria: Paul Murray | Sky News Australia

“There is no need for a state-wide lockdown because just 12 of the 79 local government areas or council areas around the entire state have got one case at all,” he said. “There is not a single case in regional Victoria, this is days after the lockdown and all the fears that they had about contact sites and all the rest of it.

“And here’s the truth about why you don’t even need the full lockdown in Melbourne, 67 per cent of all of the cases that currently exist – and we are talking about 40 right now outside of hotel quarantine – are all in one part of Melbourne alone.” Given the announcements about how the current outbreak is the Indian strain of COVID-19 - which health authorities say spreads particularly fast - one would expect the number of cases to have gone “through the roof by now,” Mr Murray said.

What facts?

Well here we go, ‘know it all’ Paul f Murray, actually clueless Paul Murray, the younger parrot of Sky going on about something far beyond his intellect to comprehend 😡😡😡

😂😂 Paul Murray and facts never go together 😂😂

How many cases are there? Is anybody seriously ill? And if they are do they have underlying conditions that exacerbate the virus? Why are people who are not seriously ill hospitalized? Why is no one asking these questions?

Thank you Rupert Murdoch.

Well that settles it. A talking head on you station must be an expert.

Facts ,sky news , now that is funny

Paul Murray demonstrating the fact, that he has an IQ close to that of a one year old Chimp! auspol lockdown Victoria Australia

Congrats on obtaining your medical degree Paul

Its more like everyone goes on lockdown and if the virus spreads, my hands are clean ...responsibility not taken.because they don't have a clue on containing it

Same Paul Murray who insisted that asymptotic patients didn’t need masks etc because they couldn’t pass on the virus? Same Paul Murray who insisted there was a Vic suicide epidemic? Suspect he’s not a scientist

A lot of us here in Melbourne believe this latest lockdown is completely fabricated because people were not getting vaccinated and also an to extend the state of emergency.. Hoax..

This from someone who proudly displayed his 'I met trump the moron photo' on his show, like a gushing schoolgirl meeting BTS.

Such a bloody tool!

I did not know Paul Murray was the CHO? I thought that was Brett Sutton?

Facts on SkyNews?

Facts and Paul Murray are mutually exclusive.

Paul Murray is a moron the facts are that Murray is not qualified to make a statement like that

OK Paul go life there without a mask and wander around Epping and Whittlesea you dill.

Do you and Paul really believe the BS you write

Not that ‘expert’ Paul Murray spewing his nonsense again....🤮

Dear Twitter. Why can’t I report this as dangerous misinformation.

Isn’t the more compelling reason a lockdown isn’t needed this: Active cases: 49 how many of them are: a. In hospital ? b. In intensive care?

OMG the potato is so stupid

Whereas the rest of us have to deal with reality- south of the Murray!

ThisisNotJournalism

Hopefully this acting premier will see sense.

'according to Sky News host Paul Murray' LOLOL!

Facts are something Sky not News & Paul Murray no nothing about......Paul thinks he is a respected TV host because he talked to Trump....all the world saw was 2 clowns making a fool of themselves.....

What a total Suprise Paul said that. “Read this Paul”

Masks and distancing would have been enough but no these incompetent f***wits close businesses all over the state. This will cost lives and livelihoods.

if it's transmissible in one day then why isn't it in South Australia where the original case came from out of quarantine and why didn't anyone on the plane from s.a. to vic get it

Idiot

My dog even thinks you're a dumb fcuk...

Pauk murray the failed used shoe salesman forwarding dangerous advuce to victorians on the murdoch toilet chanel

If no need, why have you locked us down then? 😕

The person that wrote this tweet would have had to deal with Paul. So for them to have to write the copy for this tweet, knowing what a ‘dumbshit’ he is, would take a lot of mental strength. Hang in there, sky news social media person

No worries NSW can have it since their Gold standard will aliminate it!!!!

the super spreader event may not have come out in the figures yet..

Facts and Paul Murray are like dieting and Paul Murray - non existent

But you forgot that Paul Murray is an idiot who is clearly unqualified in being genuine or presenting the facts or lastly any expertise in public policy for a pandemic... so there's that...
