[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1944182, member: 81934"] 8 AUGUST VIC Victoria records 466 new coronavirus cases as man in 30s among 12 deaths [url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-08/victoria-coronavirus-numbers-rise-man-in-30s-dies/12537686]https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-08/victoria-coronavirus-numbers-rise-man-in-30s-dies/12537686[/url] There are now 636 Victorians in hospital with coronavirus, including 44 people receiving intensive care. 5 people under the age of 20 are in hospital, including 1 child under 10 in intensive care. Professor Sutton said part of the challenge of battling a second wave of infections was "behavioural fatigue": people's ability to adhere to restrictions over a long period of time. "That's why Israel's second wave is four times bigger than its first, why Spain is looking at a second wave, almost as substantial as its first," he said. "That is why Iran never really moved through its wave, they couldn't get those changes to come into place." Mr Andrews said he acknowledged the difficulties faced by parents and businesses affected by restrictions, but said it was the only way to get cases under control. "[This pandemic] is a public health bushfire, but you cannot smell the smoke and you cannot see the flames, it moves so fast that unless you make these changes, we just have no chance whatsoever of driving down these numbers," he said. The new fatalities include a man in his 30s, two men in their 70s, two men and three women in their 80s and four women in their 90s. Six deaths are linked to age care. Mr Andrews said there are now 7,808 active infections across the state and 988 of them are healthcare workers - an increase of 140 from Friday. There are 44 coronavirus patients in intensive care and 29 of them are fighting for their lives on ventilators. The latest figures come after the state reported 450 infections on Friday, a dramatic decrease from its record of 750 cases on Wednesday. Mr Andrews warned Victoria is not likely to see a steep decline in coronavirus infections for 'a little while' amid strict stage four lockdown. Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said the state was seeing a 'stabilisation' of cases with daily number around the 400 and 500 mark each day. 'That is not good enough but it's a positive that we have averted an exponential increase through the last couple of weeks,' Professor Sutton said. 'If we hadn't stabilised these numbers, we would have seen thousands of cases per day and there are estimates that we've averted 20,000 or more cases by virtue of the stage three restrictions but that hasn't been enough. 'Stage four restrictions will make a difference but we won't see them for another week or more.' Australia's Victoria sees "stabilisation" in new coronavirus cases [url=https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/world/australia-s-victoria-sees-stabilisation-in-new-coronavirus-cases/ar-BB17I6gv?ocid=msedgntp]https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/world/australia-s-victoria-sees-stabilisation-in-new-coronavirus-cases/ar-BB17I6gv?ocid=msedgntp[/url] Experts say COVID-19 cases showing stabilisation as Victoria told to hold its mettle [url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-08/coronavirus-melbourne-victoria-numbers-showing-stabilisation/12534908]https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-08/coronavirus-melbourne-victoria-numbers-showing-stabilisation/12534908[/url] The fresh infections come amid fears Victorians could be left without medicine, alcohol and school supplies after major businesses were closed by the state'sstage four lockdown. Australia Post were told that it could keep open 200 outlets facing closure but the business is struggling to operate with just two thirds of its staff. Chief executive Christine Holgate said there could be long delays as demand for deliveries soars amid Melbourne's strict Stage 4 lockdown. She said that demand in coronavirus-stricken suburbs was already up 200 % and orders from Chemist Warehouse, Dan Murphy's and Office Works were under pressure. Ms Holgate said Australia Post was responsible for deliveries for 200,000 online businesses and had a team of 21,000 people in Victoria. 'All the major medical distribution centres are based in Victoria. API, Sigma - they supply pharmacies right across the country,' Ms Holgate told the Australian Financial Review. 'So this isn't just about keeping Victorian businesses running and Victorians safe, we have to keep the whole country safe. We run the risk of being late getting important medicines out to those pharmacies.'
