    Prior to Corona, I was confident He'd get in easily, but IMHO He hasn't handled Corona too well, He's made a few silly statements, & He's looked uncomfortable, so I don't know. In short, I don't think He's in such a strong position as He was, I suppose the other aspect is, how good a campaign can the other guy run.

    The thousands that voted for him previously may even be the same crowds that are piled up in Refrigerated Vans all over the country. I doubt they will be putting pen to paper or pressing buttons etc.

    No new cases in NZ for the first time in 49 days.

    A minor milestone in the scheme of things. Our Director General of Health indicates while it is cause to celebrate a little, the numbers later this week will be more important as this will relate to cases infected after level 3 came into being. Meanwhile the breaches of level 3 conditions continues to mount such that noises from the decision makers are implying this could disrupt plans to move to level 2.

    We shall see what happens in the numbers later this week. In the meantime, back to work under level 3...

    Worldometer - real time world statistics

    Some of the figures that I find interesting are:

    World average deaths per million - 31.9
    USA deaths per million - 207
    Australia deaths per million - 4
    Sweden deaths per million - 265

    Yet some people want to use Sweden's response as proof that you don't need strict restrictions.

    Tests per million of population
    USA - 21,742
    Russia - 28,095
    Sweden - 11,833
    Australia - 24,828

    It has a lot of other unrelated, but fascinating statistics too, such as:

    Undernourished people in the world
    842,743,236


    Overweight people in the world
    1,692,717,859


    Obese people in the world
    755,863,189


    People who died of hunger today
    16,029


    Money spent for obesity related diseases in the USA today
    $ 301,679,004


    Money spent on weight loss programs in the USA today
    $ 99,084,807

    ... She forsees....that she'll go insane if she can't get a hug ! - Solution:- Go to Sweden. Why Sweden Has Already Won the Debate on COVID 'Lockdown' Policy - 21st Century Wire

    (Speaking of Predictions, where's good old Nostradamus when we need his guidance ?)


    Whichever way you take it (assuming you read it through) there's some interesting bits, such as Imperial College's Prognostications - previous ones have been ...less than inspiring (Foot & Mouth outbreak) Then there's the financial strings between UK Govt, and Bill Gates.

    Who controls the British Government response to Covid–19? | UK Column

    Does the Swedish Constitution permit a short-notice executive-decided Lockdown ? Just because ours does (?) does not mean everyone else's makes it easy or possible.

    The hug-deprived Laurie Garret makes some telling observations about the US "health system" (It doesn't warrant upper case...) Perhaps the most expensive country in which to fall sick, arguably the highest - tech medical machinery and drugs, the most cost-efficient hospitals (many are 'for-Profit', so they need to be efficient to stay open) a very powerful Medical Association, one of, if not the highest number and variety of vaccinations for every possible disease and mandated by Law, the widest choices of foods, both fast and slow, adequate housing and hygiene for most.
    So why are they dying in droves, in their hi-tech and efficient hospitals ?
    Is there some underlying pathology such as pre-diabetes or air pollution or hidden infections or nutritional deficits afflicting so many Americans that they are more susceptible than say, Icelanders / Japanese / South Koreans / Mexicans, or Germans ?

    History never repeats I tell myself before I go to sleep is a great song (Split Endz 1981)..........................
    Ha, ha .................. you've got to admit though, in this umpteenth week of lock-down, it makes far better TV than re runs of 'Neighbours' to watch the Muppet for Education, a cabinet Minister no less, making an absolute goose of himself on national TV.

    It would be funny if it wasn't so vitally important for our governments both state and federal to be seen to be on the same page and working together in a bi-partisan manner during this crisis. It's a fact of life and a constitutional reality that the state governments have the responsibility and authority for education. It is also equally obvious that the PM doesn't like this. It's in every ones interest that the PM collars his attack dogs, sucks it up and moves on letting the states who are, as shown in this case, clearly much better acquainted with the facts in their jurisdictions to get on with it.

    It could be equally entertaining and a highlight of a lock-down week to have a sequel to Sundays episode, say a re-enactment of the the conversation between the PM and Dan Tehan after the Victorian government press release re a Corona virus case at a Victorian primary school. Much arm waving and shouting, 'expletive deleted' beeping and falling on sword vs. being thrown under bus commentary. Even a fade at the end to Dan Tehan (or the PM) relaxing to his favourite Edith Piaf (Non, Je Regrette Rien) song. There's a big marketing opportunity here for the ABC's Insiders team and with his extensive marketing background the PM could help make it happen with the bonus of a televised opportunity to advance his case. A win, win for all concerned.
