Blog Day 81: Friday 12 June 2020

As you are aware after a bit of a hiatus the first game of the second round of the footy was played last night.  Collingwood drew with Richmond with both scoring 5 goals 6 for 36 points (sounds like an AFLW score).  Although not terribly interested in the footy I flicked over to watch it on the telly a couple of times.  Of course the game was being played in an empty MCG which was incredibly strange in itself but the broadcast had fake crowd noises which made it even stranger.  I must admit for the very short periods of time that I watched it the crowd noises sounded very authentic, although there was no swearing or booing of the umpires.

One of my many erudite readers (my sister Lyn) has pointed out that one of the benefits of the corona virus is that the number of reported flu cases so far this year has been incredibly small.  I suppose isolation to stop the spread of one virus works on other viruses, well done corona virus.

Some of you may recall that I had blood taken for a blood test last week, well with out going into too much detail and to the surprise (even amazement) of some my liver and kidneys are in fine fettle.  Cheers!

Victoria reported and increase of 4 infections over the last 24 hours, Australia wide there was only an increase of 2.  I am assuming this difference is due to the reclassification of previous deaths or some double counting somewhere.

Australia wide there are 18 people with the virus in hospital and 2 in ICU.

Tasmania is reporting only one active case and no new cases in the last 27 days, I think that they reckon that they have got it beaten, well done the good folk of Tassie.

Corona Virus Daily Stats: Day 158

Vic: 1,703 infected (+4 from previous day) - 19 deaths (increase 0)
Aus: 7,287 infected +2 from previous day) - 102 deaths (increase 0)
Recovered: 6,761
World: 7,492,793 infected - 420,832 deaths (increase of 4,569 from previous day)

Blog day 3: Thursday 26 March 2020 Its funny to think that this time last year I was a couple of days away from heading off to Europe for 5 weeks, my how things have changed.  On that trip the only medical issues I needed to concern myself with was twisting an ankle on a cobblestone or recovering from a hangover, wouldn't want to be there now. I am wondering where the extinction rebellion people have got to, they seem to gone very quiet, maybe they are lining up in the Centrelink queues to take money from a government they despise from a society for which they have no respect. Haven't been for a walk today apart from up and down the driveway to collect the newspaper and check the letterbox.  I even excitedly opened the letter from the bank enclosing my credit card bill. Keeping in touch with people by email, SMS and phone, Leanne even suggested today that I join Facebook.  Maybe...….when hell freezes over! Catching up on my reading, and looking at inspiration...

Blog Day 522 - Sunday 05 Sept 2021 - Day 31 of Covid Lockdown V6.0 Extended   There was an interesting piece in The Australian newspaper yesterday with the headline "Catholic Health Plea to Protect Jab Objectors".  In part the article said, and I quote "Indeed Catholic teaching holds that no one should be forced to have a vaccine or be discriminated for exercising a conscientious objection". I would be interested which part of the bible discusses covid vaccinations or indeed vaccinations generally. I also like the story of the Sydney family who snuck into Victoria to visit family or friends and then snuck back into NSW using the backroads, naturally without any of the required permits or exemptions.  Everything was going hunky dory until the children of the family started boasting about their trip out of town to their mates at school.  SPRUNG! I gather by the name of the school that the family may have been of Irish extraction. In a rather rapid turnaround Victoria ...

Blog Day 589 - Tuesday 16 November 2021 - Day 18 of Covid Normal The Andrews government have back pedalled a little with their new draconian pandemic legislation.  The fine for individuals breaching the new pandemic rules has been reduced from $92,000 to $45,000 for individuals.  That is a relief, far better to be fined $45,000 than $92,000, I wonder if you could enter into a payment plan?   There is still a lot of opposition to the legislation from the most unlikely of bedfellows, including the Human Rights Commission, the Melbourne legal profession, the usual suspects of various flag waving ratbag groups and anti vaxxers as well as regular members of the public. A great day for Australia's giant leap into the space age.  Sometime over the weekend the first solid fuel, Australian designed rocket to be launched in the country since 1971 was launched somewhere in outback NSW.  This rocket in its mighty thrust into the outer reaches of the known universe reac...
