Blog Day 107: Wednesday 08 July 2020

First up a bit of a mea culpa from me.  The other day I may have been a little critical of some of the people on the locked down public housing towers for complaining about running out of supplies, particularly prescription medicines after only 24 hours.  Well, I have been rightly castigated by one of my more reasonable and balanced readers who has pointed out that some of the people living in these towers may have issues that prevent them from having large supplies of their medication on hand.  Apparently some people have to attend a pharmacy regularly if not daily for their medication.  Therefore I apologize if I have misjudged any of these people.  (I am not apologizing for my criticism of the people who were complaining about the quality and quantity of the pies and sausage rolls that they got).

A little bit more about the virus testing I undertook yesterday.  Although it took me two hours to be tested I must admit that the process was handled very efficiently and professionally.  The medical staff were friendly and polite, well as polite as they could be while shoving stick with a bit of cotton wool up your nose and the traffic management was extremely well handled.

For this lock down period I have decided to provide the daily corona virus figures by way of a spreadsheet.  This will allow for comparison of the figures on a day to day basis.  The other reason for doing it this way is that I like doing spreadsheets.

The spreadsheet idea isn't working as well as I would like, Blogger is not particularly spreadsheet friendly, however I will persist and see how we go.

The day to day figures don't always reconcile to the previous day's figures and as you could imagine as an accountant this is causing me some grief.  I think that it is as a result of re classification of previous stats and also a matter of timing through the day when the figures are collated.  As at 1.00pm the Commonwealth and State sites are still showing yesterday's figures.  There are even discrepancies between what DD announced this morning and what is now appearing in the press.

Anyway, hopefully the figures below will give us all some idea of what is happening day to day in this new lock down period.

    Victorians are still not going to be allowed in to Tassie even when other States might be. Waiting for further info from Mr Gutwein on Friday. Probably some direct flights to other States but I think most will be from Hobart, not that I would be planning to go anywhere in the near future.
    Stay safe you Victorians.

    Can you do a spreadsheet on the different LGA's and map where the growth is actually taking place. For example -
    Cases
    LGA name 7-Jul 8-Jul Increase
    Hume (C) 116 131 15
    Wyndham (C) 69 84 15
    Melbourne (C) 68 82 14

    You can get the data here: https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiODBmMmE3NWQtZWNlNC00OWRkLTk1NjYtMjM2YTY1MjI2NzdjIiwidCI6ImMwZTA2MDFmLTBmYWMtNDQ5Yy05Yzg4LWExMDRjNGViOWYyOCJ9

    What I'm seeing is that this is a very localised outbreak in certain LGAs. You look at active cases and really the problem areas are Hume, Wyndham and Melbourne - with Moonee Valley not far behind. No where else has had an increase of more than 3 cases (Active) iun those two days.

    The one thing that was concerning for me was the 41 cases in hospital in Vic as of today, and 7 in ICU. With lockdown only now, you'd expect the peak in numbers to be in the next 10days, and hospitalisations in 3-4 weeks. I guess that's why we have a 6 week lockdown.

      I will see if I can fit it in to my busy schedule. The movement in hospitalisations and ICU admissions will be interesting over the next couple of weeks.

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...
