STUPID People... They have put their Children & Families & ALL at risk of... Getting Sick with Covid... Get Vaccinated & Stay Home just for 21 days; and this will All be Over... Back to Normal... Not Rocket Science...!!!

Give it two weeks & you'll see it hit at lease 500 cases a day

Dan spent a couple of weeks trying to rip down gold standard NSW. Victoria you are welcome to him.

Everyone should wear mask and government should remove restrictions from borders as well.

There will be more cases after yesterday protest. Look at NSW.

Start building emergency pop up hospitals.... you have started, haven't you?

I think many were hoping for a response to protesters Australia wide yesterday that would have ended these protests permanently 😎

Yep. Give it two weeks. It's a certainty. CoVidiots

Costello goons make up more RW propaganda

This was always the case, lock downs just kick the can further down the road

Given there’s yet to be a press conference today, exactly which Victorian health authorities are saying they fear we are now on course to follow NSW?

It’s come full circle, Victoria keep saying that they are about to follow NSW with our high cases but NSW are simply following Victoria’s example from last year when 20,000 new cases and 800 deaths were added to the Covid statistics…. Why doesn’t NSW blame India for Delta

So mask rules and lockdowns aren’t working
