Blog Day 93: Wednesday 24 June 2020

Victoria is still in a bit of strife reporting 20 new infections in the last 24 hours.  These new infections came from a variety of sources including the known family clusters, the clusters that have developed as a result of the poor management of the hotel quarantine process, public testing and unknown sources.  The national total for new infections was 30 with the other 10 being reported by NSW which were all quarantined overseas travelers.

The Victorian and Federal governments had discussions yesterday about diverting international repatriation flights to other states as Victoria seemed to be battling to manage quarantining of returning international travelers properly.  No other state has reported a single transmission into the general community out of the quarantine of returned overseas travelers.  The Feds also offered assistance from the military.  The Victorian government has declined both of these offers of assistance.  

Unfortunately Victoria has reported a recent death as a result of the virus.  The deceased was a 80 year old male, no further details have been given as to the circumstances of how he acquired the infection, how long he had been ill and if he had any underlying health issues.  This takes Victoria's death toll to 20 and the national toll to 103.  This has been the first death for quite some time.  

The world wide increase in deaths for the last 24 hours was 5,545.  We had one of those.

    20 reported deaths. I wonder what it would be if they included the suicides caused by this?

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...
