Sky News can reveal that the number of COVID-19 cases linked to the Melbourne’s Black Lives matter protests a fortnight ago have risen to five. Sky News Political editor Andrew Clennell said contact tracers from NSW and South Australia have been sent to Victoria to help slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.
The heightened restrictions, which came after 16 new cases were recorded in Victoria yesterday, has led the Victorian Government to designate six hotspot areas it will target with health advice doorknockers. Mr Clennell said the Federal Government is concerned the situation in Victoria may prompt other premiers to become “squeamish” about re-opening their state or territory.
aclennell It seems as though if there is some other source that can be blamed, that will become front and centre whilst the fact the patient had attended the BLM protest gets pushed aside.
aclennell Fake news- Sky set the fake news benchmark
aclennell Victoria is the only state where Liberal politicians and News Ltd seek to politicise the similar lockdown laws that apply in NSW. Bipartisan support in NSW is clearly effective in gaining public compliance. Shameless political meddling no matter the consequences.
aclennell While all states and politicians are working together to control the virus, people are still divided. Read the article, it will help them earn some money by making you watch that ad.
aclennell DanielAndrewsMP did nothing to stop this. He now has blood on his hands
aclennell Want to explain how you link the upsurge to the recent protests? Your numbers never stack up. It’s clear the upsurge is to do with hotel workers and family to family transmission. Not the BLM protests.
aclennell Maybe they should rename the Melbourne march to ... NO LIVES MATTER!
aclennell Five eh? Didn't CHO say the spike was not related to the BLM protesters? Helping Labor with great diversion.
aclennell read the report, you're just dead wrong aclennell
aclennell LOL a surge of...5.
aclennell Hmm
aclennell And they said it will never happen...fck them!
aclennell I coughed earlier this morning, .. do you wanna do a LIVE BROADCAST ? Let's meet at Epping train station. 🙄
aclennell Five that have been identified. Probably many that haven't 'woke' to the fact that they are not feeling well
aclennell Shouldn't all you RW trash houses get your stories straight?
aclennell Soooooo you have no actual data to back this up? Ok then
aclennell Do you have a real source for that other than what your political editor says?
aclennell
aclennell We can always rely on the ' leftwaffe' to *uck things up.
Will_Haverchuck aclennell Upsurge 5 😂😂😂
aclennell BLACK LIVES MATTER!
aclennell We already kinda knew this .....
aclennell The article fails to mention the vic health officer said the two new cases linked to the H&M cases were not traced to the BLM protests. More cases in schools than the protests. Not just in vic but other states too. PROTESTS. ARENT. LINKED. TO. THE. RISE. IN. VIC. CASES.
aclennell There have been 1847 cases so far in Victoria and you’re highlighting the 5 that you say are linked to BLM protests despite CHMO saying they weren’t caught there. Good luck with your delusion that you’re not hopelessly biased and pushing an agenda. Standard for Skynews.
aclennell Wonder how many of them were planted 🤔🤔 just like with putting infected COVID’s in nursing homes in USA. Maybe the same can be said with our nursing home deaths 🤔🤔
aclennell Alternate headline: 'Is there a link between the BLM protest and Victoria's Covid cases? Experts say no but our editor says yes.'
aclennell Bullshit - as usual. None of the new cases in Victoria were acquired from the BLM rally. But please, do go on with your lies.
aclennell You need to stop this silly rubbish or people who liked you before may now change their mind. You will achieve little in what you are doing, this is not the USA which is a dump of a country. You live in a great country not the USA
aclennell They would do better to clamp down on protests.
aclennell They want it That's why they get it 😂 🤣
aclennell The concern of many! This video asks the very same question WILL THE SYSTEMIC RACISM EVER END?
aclennell That would be news to all the Chief Medical Officers around the country! How about you attempt to report facts during the pandemic rather than spread lies?
aclennell I call this misleading, not true factual. Why have larger protest numbers all across Australia not led to a surge in cases in other States then? AClennell doesn't sound logical at all. News sources need to go deeper into detail.
aclennell Well there is a surprise!!!!!!!!
aclennell I told you. Expect more before the end of the day and into the middle of the week with the massive lines at testing stations all over VIC today.
aclennell Dans clamping down on the protesters ,he tells them to go home,ha ha ha
aclennell
aclennell So correct me if Im wrong so over past 2 weeks out of 48 cases half of these were linked to new arrivals or those in hotal quarantine, 6 linked to a single family event, 2 at 1 retail store, 2 at a school & 5 from a 10,000 person protest? Those are the stats we're looking at?
aclennell Five, which is a small percentage of Victoria's total cases. Up yours, Murdoch. Far more cases result from the Dutton coronaprincess
aclennell Guys is that fact? can you show the evidence that the 5 cases were directly linked to BlackLivesMatterAustralia protest? Or is this more propaganda spin from the Murdoch media? Can VictorianCHO confirm if the cases were directly linked to protests.
aclennell And possibly how many out there asymptomatic or not fronting up for testing if w/ mild symptoms.. 🤔
aclennell Just what, specifically, did the CMO say? Something to do with family transmission, nothing to do with BLM?
aclennell What a joke!! They took the piss letting those protests go ahead, nah people have got to suffer all over again. Selfish!! AllLivesMatter ChineseVirus
aclennell Haha funny how all the lefties just can’t accept the truth and denied the consequences of their action for disregarding health advice.
aclennell Sounds like bollocks to me. Whats the source?
aclennell
aclennell
aclennell how 'bout aclennell et al at Murdoch who lie for living are lying again they have lied and then lied some more on covid19 for months auspol
aclennell Opportunistic copycats of the USA for what ? They haven't helped the Aboriginal cause one single bit ! Only damaged the Australian economy even more ! How about AustralianChildrenFuturesMatter ?
aclennell Attempted murder
aclennell Typical skynews crap
aclennell Lockdown to be announced Wednesday.
aclennell Bullshit.
