I’m starting here tonight besties.
It doesn’t matter if the numbers aren’t the focus anymore.. 12 deaths is heartbreaking. It’s going to get worse before it gets better too but just know we are thinking of you. We’ve been there.
1431 new cases
181 linked
1250 mystery
Twelve people have died
25,002 cases since June 16
979 in hospital (⬆️ 22 on yday)
160 in ICU (same)
63 on ventilators (⬇️ 1 on yday)
One of the deaths today was a mother aged 38. She died at home just a day after getting her COVID test.
78% of new cases are in the hotspot LGAS. October is going to be the worst month for your hospitals. The stress test has started. ICU’s are coping for now.

KFC Dickson has been added as an exposure site which is disappointing going into the weekend sis. I love 🍗
Year 12s will soon be able to access priority jabs after the announcement of more Pfizer.
ACROSS THE DITCH
28 cases
27 of them were in Auckland
The total daily cases has had a big drop compared to previous days as you legends chase zero but there’s a warning that the ‘tail end’ could go on for a while.
Roughly 1.7m people are still in Auckland lockdown town.

Just stay where you are. It’s about to get wild in VIC and NSW and we need you not to freak out. Keep us calm. Call your friends in our states. Reach out. We need to be a country - not individual states. That’s all fact.

QUEENIES
Is it too late now to say sorry?
Well! The Premier has.
She’s apologised for letting NRL players in - saying it wasn’t the right thing to do when the hotel quarantine bin was shut.
More rooms will be available from Monday which is great for queenies!!
Also the drive by from the truckies seems to be low risk.. the health people don’t think there’s virus in the community.
WEST WALKERS
From Sunday midnight any truckies from Vic heading to WA will face increased testing and if anyone wants an exemption - you better have a jab.
