Andrews has always said he is not a one man band. So your question is ridiculous and perhaps rhetorical.

Merlino would step in, he’s deputy isn’t he?

Here is a sensible plan that can be implemented easily and quickly.

1. Isolate positive case people at home with security on front door and back door 24/7

2. Do asymptomatic testing in outbreak areas.

3. Have a DHHS squad going to every business that wants to open up and confirm the business has an appropriate Covid safe plan. One open if they have a positive case they get shut down immediately, deep clean , testing etc and then get a audit before reopening again.

4. Continually test whether contact tracing is working.

5. Implement widespread tracing of close contacts and their close contacts and their close contacts.

Doing these 5 things will go a long way to to protecting Victoria from the excesses and incompetence of Andrews and allow Victoria to breathe again and slowly get back to some sanity.

If Merlino stepped in he's probably going to continue with the advice of the CMO.

So , no change.

People with positive cases are isolating already. No change there. We don't seem to be having significant breakouts from people self isolating.

Pretty sure testing has been done everywhere. Not waiting for an outbreak. Trying to be in front of an outbreak. So, that suggestion is worse than the existing system.

DHHS squad for the 600,000 small businesses in Victoria ? That's a whole lot of squads. Put the responsibility on the business ? We were doing that at the start. Didn't work so well, did it ?

Pretty sure they are still contact tracing. Seems to working otherwise we wouldn't know about these spreads.

Any other revelations ?

Raf Epstein asked a good question about close contacts being isolated in NSW for 14 days as compared to Victoria. Sounds like there's more we could do there . Especially if we open up and we get the inevitable cases popping up.

I'm only just watching his presser now. It sounds like there will be a point at where we will have to change strategy. I don't have a problem with that. No one has a perfect solution anywhere . We are still adapting day by day.

Btw. I think the RWNJs have been drinking the KoolAid if they think Credlin even came close to challenging Andrews. She was making false accusations about his personal staff. She clearly doesn't understand how the department works.
