Here we are another week and welcome to the disappointment edition of project COVID skies. The Victorian state government had set a goal of a rolling average of 5 cases per day over 14 days to enable some of our restrictions to be relaxed. We looked like we were heading in the right direction and then found stubbornly there were daily new case numbers at twice that and above, so no soup for you!!!! We now must wait longer. As the weather gets warmer and the rest of Australia is able to move about, being stuck in a circle of just 5km is becoming very tiresome.

The new case numbers from Monday 5th October 2020 to Sunday 11th October 2020 were; 11, 13, 4, 10, 10, 12 and 12 with 4 deaths in Victoria. These cases are mostly contained in a few clusters including the Chadstone shopping centre, Kilmore and Box Hill hospital. On the plus side we have had 4 days now with no community transmission.

Everywhere else is plodding along with very low case numbers and are able to enjoy a mostly free life with football semi finals taking place over the weekend drawing solid crowds, albeit restricted in numbers.

The weather was mostly grey and wet so not many shots this week as it was a struggle to find much worth taking a photo of. Here’s hoping next week is a better week for photos and with case numbers.
