An unusually cool Spring in Victoria is likely extending the current outbreak, which is rolling along fairly steadily. The reported falling "case" numbers are largely due to a reduction in testing. The positivity rate of testing is tracking fairly steadily at 2000 per 100k test, which is not significantly different from the peak of 2.5k. What has changed is the number of tests being done. The Vic positivity rate is also significantly higher than the NSW rate at the peak of their "outbreak". If Summer ever arrives here in Vic (top of 12C here today), I expect cases among the Vitamin D deficient to drop off. It's looking more like the halt in the lockdowns was basically just for Dan's mates to go to Melbourne Cup parties. ---- Fuck Dan Andrews!
