How do the additional cases work with reclassifications? Are these historical cases/active/all of the above?

historical by the sounds of it.

[Glu]

If everyone educated themselves about where and what the risks are and were sensible about the part they play in being a risk to others, we wouldn’t need anywhere near the restrictions we have. As usual, the many bear the burden of the ‘brave’ few.

[RedandBlackPartisan]

First time reclassified has increased the total…?

[bigallan]

Foley on package for alcohol and drug dependence, mental health. Including face to face services.

@RedandBlackPartisan

First time reclassified has increased the total…?

nah, 1 or 2 others.

[simmo41]

@choppsuey

Active cases 554.

@simmo41

[choppsuey]

Reclassifications made of 2x duplicates removed and 11 confirmed cases that had been removed inadvertently back in July/August reinstated. - followed up correctly at the time.

@Blummers32

This Sunday is 30 to 50 14-day daily new metro case average. We hit that.

Late October is <5 14-day daily new case average. We’ll get very close if not match it or beat it.

The thing is nothing even happens on Sunday if we hit it Schools back and some business can go back to work, which of course is great for them. But otherwise still only 4 reasons to leave home etc, and can meet with others outside.

Still another long month to go before anything meaningful happens.

[Blummers32]

Allan is getting far more confident with his public speaking.

[bigallan]

Allen Cheng historical corrections, some in July inadvertently left off.

Public gatherings increase to 5 (people doing it now anyway). Childcare back open as well. Some currently active but restricted industries will increase capacity slightly. Some of those things are definitely meaningful. School for one is ■■■■■■■ huge for anyone with children or the children themselves.

[bigallan]

Female journo nose over mask. Irresponsible.

[choppsuey]

test rate is ~2/100 of population over the last 14 days which is a very comfortable number.

[benfti]

Where’s @Hoffy?

I fear the worst

[bigallan]

Are you confident we will stay under 30
Subject to superspreader as happened in Colac.
Tussle going on between the boys and the girls as to who gets the floor, girls winning

@wimmera1

And now I feel like kind of a jerk.
Because all of that pales in comparison to the small business owners that would kind of like to earn a living.

As much as I’d like a secure job I would also like to go on this pinball bar crawl and a camping trip etc

[choppsuey]

Does sound like there’s still a lot of detail to be settled on regarding the 2nd step on Sunday/Monday. Maybe be some surprises or differences to what was outlined in the Road Map.

Daniel Andrews is a genius at answering stupid questions.

Do I interrupt my vinyl revival morning for this or nah?
