Sooooo... Are we going to talk about one of the co-authors of the modelling Dan used saying Dan's gone twice as hard as they would've recommended?

The Herald sun article quotes the co author saying Dan's limit has a estimated 3% chance of a third wave. Their preferred target has s 10% chance.

Guys. I think Dan's played Xcom.

17. Should people in Australia make an effort to learn English?
a. People in Australia should speak whichever language is most commonly spoken in their local neighbourhood
b. There is no expectation to learn any particular language in Australia
c. Yes, English is the national language of Australia and it helps to get an education, a job, and to integrate into the community

18. In Australia, can you encourage violence against a person or group of people if you have been insulted?
a. Yes, if you do not intend to carry out the violence
b. No, it is against Australian values and the law
c. Sometimes, if I feel very offended

a. It is against the law to disagree with one another

I didn't say it wasn't from neglect. (Or that the higher rates of alcoholism, self-harm and adverse health conditions aren't a direct result of 200 years of oppression). There is a huge difference between neglect, and active murder covered up by an independent coroner.

Both of them are bad. One of them is what actually happened. Pretending that every death in custody is a straight-up murder is false, and pushing a false narrative is not helpful for a cause.

Having a grown up discussion about it, and meeting somewhere in the middle.

The cops want more deaths in custody, you want less deaths in custody, so let's settle on a smaller increase in deaths in custody and everyone can say they've had a win.

So the epidemiologist said one in a million, based on 5 cases (a day, presumably)...the AFR then compares that to the chance of getting struck by lightning which it claims is one in 12,000, meaning there should be 416 people struck by lightning every day in Melbourne?

Like, I�m not convinced by the necessity of masks with no community transmission, but comparing a chance of something happening daily to the chance of something happening over your lifetime is pathetic journalism.

At least the lightning has an actual chance if killing you, unlike the 1 in 20 million chance of dying to covid if you aren't an invalid.

I�m hoping you can provide a breakdown of people who have died from lightning compared to with lightning to back this up

In some cases, lightning may be beneficial or even necessary for life (Shelley, M 1818)

When faced with a highly contagious disease that puts vulnerable people at risk, few Victorians are moved by abstract calls for �freedom� coming mostly from younger people who are at lower risk. Most accept that the lockdown is necessary because it saves lives.

The Victorian government recently introduced a new local government act, and the entire purpose of it was to introduce single member wards to make it easier for party hacks to control councils. Everything else in the bill was Wishlist stuff or a bargaining chip to preserve the single member ward reforms.

Both major parties are almost certainly going hard at this round of elections, either openly or not.

The 2nd wave occurred because security guards were not trained properly and there was not a system in place to prevent their own personal mistakes (yes, flagrant restriction breaking) from threatening the community.

That is Dan Andrews' failure, and his failure alone. And if it was a Liberal government you would say the same thing.

So you recognise that flagrant rule breaking allowed breaches in security to lead to widespread community transmission.

You appear to have little confidence in the competence of the State Government (and thus their ability to prevent future breaches)

And your solution is to encourage flagrant rule breaking, so that when an apparently inevitable breach occurs it will result in more widespread community transmission

You are a stunningly intelligent person.

There have been big failings by this Government's handling of COVID-19 right up to the Premier

The current leadership of this Government are in a better place to lead us out of this than any of the alternatives, either within or outside the Victorian labor party.

These aren't mutually exclusive.
