Photo was taken at Gunnamatta - 23rd May 2010...More incoming waves for Victoria... Yes... I know... Let's ride those waves with @DanielAndrewsMP and @CathLAndrews. They're an awesome team... pic.twitter.com/PXZGl6AwgT— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) August 2, 2020
NOTE: This post gets additions through the day...in order of time...
All I can hear outside is a screaming stream of traffic on the Mornington Peninsula Freeway...
Twitter news is that panic buying has set in at supermarkets - again...
Thank goodness I did my walk yesterday...Huge lines out the front of supermarkets, bottle shops, butchers etc. Can people PLEASE stop panic buying, surely we have all learnt from the first time around. Even if stage 4 happens we can still buy what we need. #Stupidy #COVIDVIC19— Jesse Corigliano (@JesseCorigliano) August 2, 2020
It is sunny, with a prediction of rugged weather for the week, but not going out...
And now Dan's usual midday presser has been pushed back to 1:00pm...
Not looking good...
Here's the cheat sheet for the Dan Andrews presser:— David Milner (@DaveMilbo) August 2, 2020
11am = not terrible
After 12pm = bad
Wearing a suit = real bad news
Sports jacket = moderately bad news
Northface jumper = it's the weekend
Wearing a suit on the weekend after 12pm = shit's fucked
The panic stirring Tweets are having a field day...Just heard that #Stage4 is coming on Wednesday. Supermarkets WILL CLOSE. #Melburnians being directed by Chief Health Officer to forage for berries, lawn mushrooms and certain pigeons identified as good sources of meat, eggs and milk. VCE to move to remote learning. #COVID19Vic— Nick (@NickSugarbaker) August 2, 2020
And now Telstra customers are reporting a cyber attack outage...My lunch, at this stage, is a packet of Allen's Sourz Tangy Randoms... No symbolism originally intended, because I love them ...But there could be today in Victoria, as I wait for the 1:00pm presser...— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) August 2, 2020
Now the presser is at 2:00pm today...This is looking very very bad...🔒 Update: We've identified the issue and are working on it.

*Finally - about 2:30pm...
STAGE 4 it is...
State of Emergency has now been upgraded
to State of Disaster...
...and Dan is in a suit on the weekends...
#BREAKING: Victoria has recorded 671 new cases of coronavirus overnight, another seven people have died. A night-time curfew will be implemented across Melbourne from 8pm-5am from tonight.— ABC Melbourne (@abcmelbourne) August 2, 2020
If you think the curfew times are weird - Not so weird...when it is those times when friends gather...
later hours on a Friday or Saturday night...
The curfew halts the chance of such gatherings...

I was thinking of doing just the same...Can't seem to stop scrolling Tweets after Dan's announcement ... I'm mesmerised...— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) August 2, 2020
I was hoping stage 4 restrictions would include a clamp down on zoom calls.— 𝙳𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚎𝚕 𝙹𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚜 (@MrDTJames) August 2, 2020
Love the extra comments drifting in now...Stage 4 is a larger size than stage 3 track pants I assume ?— AssocProf Gemma Carey (@gemcarey) August 2, 2020
Also very big pockets so you can do phone keys hand sanitiser on your approved walk!— Jen @ 🏠 (@juniperlilacs) August 2, 2020
UPDATE: It's now 8:30pm... And for the first time today, I can't hear the freeway...
Perhaps the curfew of 8:00pm is being observed...
due to stage 4 restrictions, the sydney/melbourne rivalry is suspended.— radical lisa loebotomy (@NforNihilism) August 2, 2020
SYDNEY now rivals OSAKA
MELBOURNE now rivals INVERCARGILL
please update your sledges accordingly
Thinking in Victoria, when we see the August full moon, from this day forth it will be known as the #curfewmoon pic.twitter.com/7fiFe0DWlx— MelbourneSkies (@MelbourneSkies) August 2, 2020
