DAY 100
Cases in Victoria in Past 24 Hour: 2 new cases (157 active cases) 816 lives lost (0 deaths in past 24 hours)
Today we saw 2 new cases here in Victoria, one of today’s new cases is a household contact of an existing case and the other case, which remains under investigation, relates to a patient at the Royal Children’s Hospital. All close contacts are being tested and isolated. DHHS respects the privacy of patients and cannot provide details about individual cases unless it is necessary to do so in the interest of public health.
There has been no deaths in the past 24 hours.
And now to the data from today (Department of Health and Human Services Victoria | Coronavirus update for Victoria - Friday 16 October)
And now to the Top 10 local government areas in regards to active cases (Department of Health and Human Services Victoria | Coronavirus update for Victoria - Friday 16 October):
Even though I am very conservative in how we should relax restrictions (politically, I am very progressive), I am beginning to think that some of the restrictions will go on Sunday, and I think that would be a good thing. I think the 5 kilometre rule will be extended to 20 kilometres, and some more stores will open. But as I have mentioned many times in this blog, we need to be conservative and not rush into things, especially because of what is currently happening over in Europe in which lockdowns are coming back. Is it because they were too quick? Possibly (almost certain it was done too quickly). People are saying that there is more freedoms in New South Wales, but I think comparing Victoria to New South Wales is like comparing apples and oranges - New South Wales came from a low base while Victoria came from a high base. And I am beginning to think that New South Wales could become the new epicentre of the coronavirus here in Australia as for the past two days, New South Wales had more cases than Victoria.
Today, I went for a walk and during the day, I listened to the radio. Tonight, I did a bit of writing and watched television (just watched 8 Out of 10 Cats on SBS).
TOMORROW: Watch the ACT elections and study Korean.
See you tomorrow.
