" No Evidence to link Victorias Black Lives Matter Protests amid state of emergency "
My opinion is Melbourne is now reaping the benefits of the BLM protest two odd weeks ago.
Well done Comrade Dan . LOL
Your opinion contradicts the
evidence.
Pretty sure they've focused their investigations on a couple of large family gatherings and a shop / family that works within it.
But hey, all guessing.
What evidence?
The one where Vic Health and it's professionals have openly stated where all the positive cases are being linked to via contact tracing. ie. Keilor Downs family outbreak.
There hasn't been a single transmission linked to any of the nation-wide BLM protests (yet, could still be a possibility, let's not rule out that any future ones could be linked)
That's not evidence at all.
With respect to
direct transmission - maybe not - yet.......
Since that day, Victoria has had 194 new cases and still don't know the origin of 82 of them.
At least 4 infected people went. For the Vic Govt to say it's OK coz they didn't get it there is just pure propaganda. They took it there! That's what everyone was worried about!
And do I trust Vic Health to tell the truth? As much as you trust the Federal Govt to tell the truth. They say whatever the government tells them to say.
But, more importantly, on an
indirect basis, does "My opinion is Melbourne is now reaping the benefits of the BLM protest two odd weeks ago" have some merit? Attached is Victoria's results since May 1st. with the protest noted.

Putting aside the possibility that some may have contracted it from the 4 known carriers or others: do I think people have changed their attitude to lockdown and all of the safeguards since the protest? Without a doubt. I have seen it every day since.
Many are not keeping distance anymore. Half my daily walk time I'm asking people to move to the left now
I see very few people using the handwash in the supermarket anymore.
Mrs Jimmy has topped spraying me with Glen 20 when get back from shopping!
My attitude has totally changed to: "**** you state government. If you're not taking it seriously then neither will I"
That's why I think he's right: It's the indirect consequences that have come back to bite them and all state governments
(BTW the rest of the state governments must be having a collective sigh of relief they may have dodged a bullet)
As an extension looking at the graph: in hindsight; was the May 12th lifting of restrictions in Victoria premature considering they were still averaging 11 per day in the week before?
