As though we clocked all the emotions yesterday and now ..
HERE WE ARE.
Victoria, Let’s talk ♥️
24 cases
21 linked
14 locked
12 people are in hospital
2 are in ICU
Show me all the places!!
3 – Al Taqwa College (all linked and locked)
9 – Glenroy PS (all linked and locked)
4 – Enragement Party
2 – Lygon Street Housing tower
3 – Newport (two linked and locked)
Then the three unsolved mysteries:
1 – St Kilda resident
2 – people known to each other one is a St Kilda resident and one lives in the city of Melb.
What’s happening in St Kilda? And what about testing numbers?
There are now five mystery cases from this suburb.
They have nothing in common other than they have a link to the suburb because they live or work there.
Besties, you’re asking about tests?
We had 31,519 in the last 24 hours – the health people want way more.
They want people in Port Phillip, Glen Eira and Bayside to get tested if they’ve been to an exsposure site, if they have symptoms or even if they’re just unsure.
To the besties with the children – they shut the playgrounds.
I have no spawn but I know this is a disaster!
The CHO says they’re looking into possible child to child transmission at a playground.
And half of our active cases are currently – kids under 10.
ACT – (it was suggested that you should be called the Cranberries)
17 new cases
8 are unlinked
Active cases – 45
7380 – record testing again!
New exposure sites include Bruce and Reid CIT campuses three days last week.
The health people are very happy with the huge testing numbers but they say the case numbers will keep going up.
Everyone 12 and up must wear masks outside.
The other message – get in and out of stores quickly.
No loitering!
There are more exposure sites and 7500 people in iso.
QUEENIES
I’ve taken you out of the club – but it’s ok.
One new case linked to the Indooroopilly cluster.
BUT! They turned positive in iso – linked & locked.
PHEW!
10K cars have been checked at the border-1k turned back.
Also the public holiday is rescheduled! October 25!
NSW
The digits:
452 new cases
129 are linked (105 are from household spread 24 close contacts )
323 are mystery cases
101 were in iso / 24 part iso
30 were in the community
297 cases 🕵🏽 (this means iso status unknown)
447 people are in hospital ( ⬆️ 56 on yday— big jump)
69 in ICU (⬆️ 3 on yday)
24 on ventilators (⬇️ 4 on yday)
8654 cases have been reported since June 16.
A woman in her 70s has died.
Dubbo had 16 new cases and there are 10 in the Hunter New England area.
The premier says numbers are going to bounce around and rise for another 2-3 weeks.
80 staff are now in iso after the outbreak in the oncology ward at St George Hospital.
And the health people decided they’re not going to list every exposure site anymore.
They’re only going to list the high risk ones from now on.
Outside Greater Sydney - where there are less cases – all of the sites will be listed.
TAS/WA/SA/NT
All in the no new cases club still sipping on tea and waiting to see if Delta not Goodrem turns up.
More on them ⬇️
NORTHIES!!
First day of the lockdown and there are no new cases!
99 contacts have been identified and the people the case spent time with are negative.
They also did the fancy science and worked out his second test was more infectious – meaning they’ve caught it early.
TASSIE
You guys are single and ready to mingle with Queensland again!
From midnight all the Queenies will be considered low risk.
They’ve also hit a woman with a fine of 1557 clams after she flew in from Sydney even after her permit was rejected.

Jane’s weather ☀️ 😊: A clear dawn, ahead of a cloudy Wednesday in Melbourne. But at least it’s dry under the cloud, the winds are light, and we rise to 16C. @JaneBunn
Wombats poop in cube shapes.
Yep!! – google it.
They’re the only species to do this.
Scientists say their soft intestines ‘sculpt’ the poop into cubes to stop them rolling away.
They poop 100 cubes a day and they stack them (yep) as a way of wombat communication.
