didactic.


It was only recently when watching the TV Series "Night Manager" that I had even heard the word "Redacted".

Now every bastard seems to say it at the drop of a hat. Hang on while I redact that... "..........................................."



Didactic. Now there's word you don't hear very often these days. Believe me when I say I have never heard it before in all my life. No really. Board mutters, "Yes Mr bee we can believe it"

Not my fault I didn't go to a posh Grammar Skool.

Not mutated - just a different strain - just as Caucasian is not a mutation of African but is just a different strain of Homo Sapien. As yet a mutation for the virus has not been detected but that does not mean it has happened.

No Michael, as I said at the time, one couple picked it up in Sydney, returned home, quarantined and recovered.

It wasn't passed on to anyone else outside of Sydney, let alone the Northern Rivers, so no 'outbreak'

And I hear the son lied about having been to Sydney, got a border pass and came to Brisbane, was caught and that set off the alarm bells. Anyway, the incident resulted in Byron being excluded from the NSW side of the border zone and people being locked out of Qld. Fortunately, the positive sewerage testing results weren't reflected in more cases.
