Is Melbourne becoming a nightmare?

The coronavirus situation in Melbourne is getting more and more serious, with hundreds of people in public housing units forced into hard lockdown over the weekend. The Victorian Government has announced a series of support measures for the residents of the high-rise buildings as they're unable to go out. It's a scary prospect for the residents, and a potentially nightmarish situation with hundreds of people living in densely populated buildings. On today's show: * Victoria has had a bad weekend. What’s likely to happen now? * I'm not in a Melbourne hotspot, but should I go to a dinner that was organised before the surge in cases or stay at home? * Is getting on a plane and flying to a job interview a good idea at the moment? We have a clarification about staying home after being tested in Victoria's testing blitz last week, and Norman has an update on how a few COVID-19 treatments are going and which ones the World Health Organisation has removed from its list because they don't work.
