    On the subject of vaccine for this thing.

    You can almost guarantee that you will have to be a card carrying victim (I mean vaccinated member of society) before you are let in anywhere. Football, concerts, theatres, maybe even your work place. And as stated earlier no vaccine, no pension, no jobseeker, no tax return, no international travel, no passport, probably no leaving your house.

    Scumo has stated he will make vaccination "as mandatory as possible", which can only be interpreted as you won't be able to have a life, of any description.

    It takes years, sometimes decades to develop and thoroughly test vaccines and they want us to put our trust in something they came up with yesterday!?!! Not me, call me when they are at vaccine mark VI, should have ironed out the bugs (deaths) by then. Don't worry you'll know where to find me I'll be the one confined to my house with random police checks.
    There is no eraser on the pencil of life.

    Before we start feeling all Goldilocks at the just right porridge, a few stat's from around the World. I find these figures a little confusing, and concerning. Is the virus declining in Asia , including one of the most populated nations on Earth, Indonesia, because of the rising heat ? If so, what about Brazil and Argentina, coming in to their summer ? SE Asia has some of the poorest population around, with health infrastructure not so good, while the US and Europe , in the main, are much richer places, with very good health infrastructure. [ or am I just assuming that? ]

    There is so much we do not know about this virus, what shocked me was the stat. that the virus has infected 286 people every minute in the last week, around the World. According to WHO. Perhaps we should stop patting ourselves on the back, and maintain our vigilance.

    Five infections a second: Coronavirus spreading with unprecedented speed


    The coronavirus has infected 286 people in every minute of this past week.
    In no other seven-day period since the start of the pandemic has there been so many new cases around the world – 2,884,604 to be exact

    There was at least one European with the virus who died every minute that week.


    By Sunday, France had the highest number of new infections after reporting more than 200,000 new cases.
    The next day, French hospitals admitted 1307 people with the virus – the largest single-day increase in hospital admissions since April 2.

    Twenty one European countries experienced an increase in both the number of people put in an intensive care unit and the overall number of hospital admissions in the past week.


    North and South America overtook Europe for the region with the highest death count after almost 17,000 people died last week.

    COVID-19 cases were highest in the United States, Brazil and Argentina.

    Spread across these three countries were more than 686,000 (78 per cent) of the 880,000 new infections, and 11,390 (67 per cent) of the 17,000 new deaths recorded in North and South America.

    Not all trends identified by the WHO involved increases.
    The past five weeks have included a continued decline in new cases and deaths in south-east Asia, with the largest decline recorded in the seven days to Sunday.
    In India, where the coronavirus is infecting the highest number of people and taking the most lives, cases and deaths are on the decline.
    So is the case for Indonesia, Myanmar, Maldives and Bhutan.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    Toilet paper ....

    .... Costco's own brand toilet paper sold out in their Docklands store last Monday, the day that the 5km limit changed to 25km. And there's a one per member limit on their own-brand paper towels.

    People obviously stocking some away in case things go pear-shaped again.

    Which, given that DHHS is now denying that it's responsible for enforcing the COVID-19 laws for shops etc, given a series of obvious breaches of the rules yesterday, the first day that retail re-opened, does not augur well.

    About half a dozen State entities are denying that it's their responsibility and pointing the finger at other agencies.

    It will take at least a couple of weeks to find out IF the Melbourne public are still taking social distancing seriously, Fingers crossed that they do otherwise it will be back into lockdown mode again.

    From the USA. A sobering story about their hospitals.

    Hospitals are reeling

    The pandemic in the United States is reaching fearsome new levels, as the country’s seven-day average for new cases exceeded 70,000 for the first time and more than 26 states are reporting case numbers at or near record levels.

    Nowhere is the situation more acute than in regional hospitals in places like Idaho, Utah, Missouri and New Mexico, which were spared earlier waves of infection but are now reeling as the latest surge across the country has caught up with them.

    The number of people hospitalized in the United States has climbed about 45 percent from a month ago and the exploding case numbers in such states point to a volatile new phase in the pandemic. While earlier waves hit large cities such as New York and then Sunbelt states like Arizona, the surge of hospitalizations is now slamming various regions at once.

    In El Paso, where the number of people hospitalized with Covid-19 has more than tripled over the past three weeks, our colleague Simon Romero, a national reporter, told us that he was seeing clear signs of hospital overflows, and that a cold snap was complicating matters.

    “At University Medical Center, a crucial source of trauma care on this part of the border, health workers were caring for patients in a field hospital set up near the parking lot,” he said. “This is happening in outdoor tents, so the dusting of snow overnight in the city is adding to the challenges of providing care, as well as moving more people indoors where they are at risk of spreading the virus.”

    And it’s not just small-town and rural hospitals that are feeling the surge. Even well-equipped hospitals are being stretched thin, and their staffs are working harder and for longer hours than before.

    Our colleague Giulia McDonnell Nieto del Rio, also a national reporter, spent the morning in an I.C.U. at Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee, where the influx of patients was taking a huge toll on the mental health of staff.

    “Right before I left, a person who had passed away in the morning was wheeled out of the room under a white sheet,” she told us. “A nurse who had become close to the patient was just watching the body roll away in the hallway. And she just stood there and looked and was crying.”

    So the guess is NSW border will open to QLD tomorrow

    Unfortunately the damage to businesses and the economy is done.

    Hoping for a few more votes is a bit of an incentive as well,no doubt.

    Of course the other possibility is that they were all Constipated for all those weeks & now feel free & can exercise now they can go again. I wouldn't care to be sitting near the sewerage outfall for a few weeks yet.

    The old buck passing scenario no doubt. Time for another Inquiry on who knew what & when & examination of Mobile calls & E-Mails etc.

    25km will allow you now to visit your long lost rellies won't it?
