Podcasts about while victoria

Case numbers in both Victoria and NSW continue to climb, with both states yesterday posting new daily records for this year. While Victoria's daily cases are far behind NSW, Victoria is on a similar trajectory as NSW was - despite locking down hard and early. So what's going on? Why are cases continuing to rise? Also on today's show: * ATAGI recommends vaccinations for 12-15 year olds * With kids getting the vaccines, what will that mean for the 70/80 per cent targets (as more people are now getting vaccinated) * What is the likelihood of an even more transmissible or deadly strain emerging and what should we be doing to be ready for it?

While Victoria's restrictions have been eased, a ban on large crowds means live music, theatre and other entertainment will remain paused for at least another fortnight. Industry leaders are calling for vaccine passports to be introduced urgently, in a bid to save the ailing entertainment industry. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Victorians should brace themselves for a much higher death toll — which could be twice as high as the current numbers — one expert warns as the state deals with fallout from its outbreak.While Victoria appears to have turned a corner on its daily case numbers, the state announced a record 19 deaths on Monday and the toll is set to rise.University of NSW Professor Mary-Louise McLaws, who is a member of a WHO advisory panel on COVID-19, told news.com.au deaths could increase substantially.The coronavirus is particularly lethal among older patients and has had already had devastating impacts in aged care homes in other states.Prof McLaws pointed to the experience at Newmarch House in NSW, where about 50 per cent of the 37 residents who got infected, died.“It’s very tough,” Prof McLaws said. “But that was in a small facility so you can’t necessarily assume this is going to happen again.”However, figures from overseas showed the death rate in aged care facilities could be anywhere from 25 to 62 per cent, she said.So far about 12 per cent of Victorian aged care residents infected with the coronavirus had died.“Sadly it could go higher,” Prof McLaws said. “It could be twice as high.”Victoria’s outbreak has seen 1061 residents in at least 122 aged care homes infected with the coronavirus, and 125 of these have died, she said. These numbers don’t include staff or other cases linked to aged care outbreaks.“It’s just the sheer numbers … the case load is high,” Prof McLaws said.She said at this point it was difficult to predict with any certainty how bad it would get without knowing what level of illness residents were experiencing and whether it was mild, moderate or severe.Deaths in the state have already increased by more than 100 in less than 10 days. Unfortunately as cases go down, deaths will still increase because patients take up to 30 days to recover or die.Australia’s deputy chief medical officer Professor Michael Kidd warned more people would die because of the “devastating effect” on aged-care facilities.“This is the tragedy of COVID-19 and the tragedy of the high numbers we have seen in Australia over the past few weeks,” Prof Kidd said.“We will also continue to have significant risk of COVID-19 infection for senior Australians, receiving care in both residential aged care facilities and at home.”

While Victoria faces a horrible virus second wave and New South Wales plays whack-a-mole with outbreaks, the Morrison government gives us a mini-budget full of massive cutbacks in the middle of a recession.

The organiser of the Sydney Black Lives Matter rally has rubbished claimed by Australia’s peak medical body which suggested those who attended should self-isolate amid fears of a spike in COVID-19 cases.The Australian Medical Association (AMA) yesterday issued a plea to the thousands of Australians who attended demonstrations on Saturday.AMA President Tony Bartone urged anyone who attended a rally to self-isolate for the next fortnight, watch for symptoms, and get tested if any emerge, saying the protests took place “in defiance of the public health warnings” and put the community at risk.“We need to be very clear – we are still very much in the early phase of dealing with COVID-19,” Dr Bartone told reporters in Melbourne today.“Mass gatherings are certainly the last gatherings on the list (of restrictions) and it was clearly against the advice of all the health authorities.”He said anyone who attended the protests should “consider their position”, adding the “only safe way … of minimising any risk of it (coronavirus) spreading over the next 14 days is to ensure that we keep our distance from the rest of the community”.But Raul Bassi, who went to court to ensure protesters could lawfully gather in Sydney, says there’s no need to take precautions.“If they want to self isolate they can but we don’t think it is necessary because we followed all the rules,” the 73-year-old told The Daily Telegraph.“We had plenty of face masks and hand sanitiser and everyone was appropriately distanced. I walked from one side of the demonstration in the park to the other and did not have to say excuse me once because everyone was separated.”Citing the incubation period of COVID-19 – which on average is around five days – Dr Bartone said there only needed to be one infectious person who attended a rally “to have infected many, many others”.“Indeed if that one person is a superspreader, the ability to infect many tens of people is very easily achieved,” he said.Dr Bartone said as a health professional, he was “extremely worried” about the images he saw of the protests in cities and towns around the nation – held in solidarity with anti-racism protests across America following the death of George Floyd – because Australians had made huge sacrifices to try to contain the virus.“The pictures on the weekend really put all of that at risk,” he said.“The game is very much alive and we all need to be vigilant, but especially those who attended the rally.”Organisers of the protest in Melbourne, Warriers of the Aboriginal Resistance, issued a similar call today, asking attendees to self-isolate for at least 14 days in a Facebook post this morning, the ABC reported.The group told followers they should avoid visiting elderly people in the next fortnight, and to speak to a doctor if they developed any virus-like symptoms.“We want to thank everyone for taking the precautions seriously and wearing a mask. I think about 99 per cent of you did it! It was amazing to see,” they said.“Please ensure you self-isolate for at least 14 days after the rally.“Speak to a doctor if you have cold or flu-like symptoms.”While only a handful of new virus cases have been reported in the last few days around Australia, deputy chief medical officer Paul Kelly on Sunday warned health authorities to be on the alert.“We don’t know if anyone in those mass gatherings were infected or infectious, and so it is a wait-and-see approach,” Prof Kelly told reporters in Canberra, adding he understood why people wanted to join in the protests.Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt told ABC radio he hoped the rallies that clearly broke COVID-19 social distancing rules wouldn’t lead to a new wave of infections.“If there is someone who is infectious in the midst of a crowd like that, that can have a catastrophic impact,” Mr Hunt said.While Victoria’s deputy chief health officer Annaliese van Diemen commended most protesters for wearing face masks, Today host Karl Stefanovic l...

From the Simplr studios in San Francisco, this is your weekly briefing.  IntroductionWith your E-Commerce Retail Briefing for today, Monday, September 16, 2019, I'm Vincent Phamvan.Apple’s new streaming service could pose a threat to rivals. A former Netflix and Hulu executive said he thinks Apple’s unique marketing advantages and low price point could make Apple TV+ a competitor right away.First, here are some retail headlines.Neighborhood Goods Raises $11 Million in FundingDirect-to-consumer department store, Neighborhood Goods, has raised $11 million in a new funding round led by Global Founders Capital. The Dallas-based concept store has raised $25.5 million to date and has plans to open new store locations in Austin and New York. The store concept provides a brick-and-mortar outlet for online companies and carries brands like Dollar Shave Club, Draper James, and Stadium Goods. Neighborhood Goods is also experimenting with features like online browsing of in-store selections.  JCPenney Launching New Line of Outerwear for MenIn a press release, JCPenney announced they would be launching a new line of outerwear for men. The line will be launched through their private-label brand, St. John’s Bay. According to the release, JCPenney will roll out the new line in 600 of its store locations and will include a selection of shirts, jackets, vests, sweaters, and more.  Walmart Expanding Grocery Delivery ServiceAfter piloting Delivery Unlimited earlier this year, Walmart will now be expanding its grocery delivery service to 1,400 more stores this fall. Walmart said the program would become available to more than half the country by the end of the year and be available at 1,600 of their store locations. In a press release, Walmart revealed the expansion of the program comes after receiving positive customer response. The membership will remain $98 dollars a year or $12.95 for a monthly subscription. Walmart has led in grocery pick-up, but the new grocery delivery functionality is a major step toward keeping up with Amazon and other grocers who have introduced their own delivery plans.    Victoria's Secret May Be Gearing Up for ChangeL Brands Victoria’s Secret may be gearing up for change. Brand chief, John Mehas, unveiled a new direction for the brand’s merchandise and stores. The changes address the consumer’s shift to prettier styles and move away from what the lingerie brand has typically been known for. He also revealed they would be partnering with third-party brands to help it cross that bridge. In a statement, he said he sees this as an opportunity to, quote, “take a step back and reinvigorate the brand,” end quote. While Victoria’s Secret is still a leader in lingerie with $4 billion in global sales, the company has struggled to keep up with consumer trends and its growth is slipping.  While Victoria’s Secret is in the process of shifting gears in the midst of struggles, L Brands Bath and Body Works is continuing to see runaway success. While the company has resisted splitting the companies in the past, executives still haven’t ruled it out. MKM Partners Managing Director said while probably not the preferred route, the board is likely weighing a spinoff of Bath and Body Works, dependent on a combination of trigger stock price and confidence in Victoria’s Secret recovery during the next few quarters.Apple Joins The Growing Streaming WarApple is pushing full steam ahead into an increasingly crowded streaming space and former Netflix and Hulu executive, Simon Gallagher, believes Apple’s streaming service will be able to compete with rivals right away. Apple TV+’s will debut with nine original series that will include star names like Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell, and Oprah Winfrey. While the streaming service will be a low $4.99 a month, some believe people won’t pay for such a slim selection if they already subscribe to a competing service like Netflix or Hulu. However, Gallagher believes it only takes a couple shows to encourage users to maintain their subscription and that Apple will be able to with their current lineup. In a push to promote their streaming service, Apple has offered one free year to anyone who purchases a new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV.  A lot of new contenders are joining the streaming arena. Disney, WarnerMedia, and NBCUniversal are also poised to launch their own streaming services. Disney’s service will launch two weeks after Apple’s at $6.99 a month. Apple’s aggressively priced monthly subscription is just one of the advantages it has of gaining users. There are 1.4 billion Apple devices in use around the world that would give it built-in consistency greater than Amazon which has 100 million Prime subscribers. Apple’s brick-and-mortar locations also garner a lot of foot traffic that will give them a marketing advantage many of the other streaming services don’t have.          ClosingThanks for listening to the latest episode of the E-Commerce Retail Briefing.
