The death recorded today is a woman in her 50s. Cases are growing in the north but they’re also popping up in regional Victoria (9 cases today) - of these three are in Ballarat and two in Geelong. The health people say they should be able to contain Geelong without lockdown town.

The political people want to move away from the hotel quarantine bin and trial home quarantine. The test will begin in a matter of weeks and will be a seven day model. 175 people will be put through the trial and as someone who has been through the HQB - let’s try it!

Also the Redfern outbreak now has 12 cases.
Support is being provided to the indigenous families living in the complex.

It wasn’t a good day. The political people are worried about the spike in cases overall and the amount of cases that were in the community.

All in the no new cases club!

Getting tired of the Queenies non-committal ways singing ‘stay with me’ by Sam Smith.

TASSIE
Oh you’ve been quiet girl but there’s some news today. You’re also trialling home quarantine! There are 200 tassie devils stuck in NSW and the trial will aim to get them home. The test will run over 30 days and involve 14 days iso.

SOUTHIES
More home quarantine for the southies! The trial is expanding to 250 houses per week. You besties will use a fancy app that sends a random alert. The person then has 15 minutes to respond and prove they’re at home using facial recognition and geo-location technology.

Remember the ‘Dan Murphy opening hours’ tweet? Prof Peter Doherty was a rockstar way before that. He and Rolf Zinkernagel discovered the role of killer ‘t-cells’ in the immune system. T-cells are a big deal because they kill cancer cells. PD won a nobel prize for his work.
