Blog Day 112: Monday 13 July 2020

DD has announced today that he has requested the Commonwealth provide Victoria with 1,000 ADF personnel to assist with testing, tracing, assisting police with road blocks etc.  The prevarication and backflips on this are remarkable and hard to understand.  If we were going to get ADF personnel anyway maybe sooner would have been better than later.

I am not sure but I think that DD has suggested that if things don't start to improve we may be looking at stage 4 restrictions, whatever that means.  

It is of concern that of the new clusters in Victoria there are three in nursing homes. 

The new infections reported in Victoria at 177 is lower than the past four or five days, however the authorities certainly aren't treating this as any sort of victory.  The next few days will be of interest particularly taking into account the level of testing occurring in the state.

Victoria has gone from 31 virus patients in hospital a week ago to 72 currently hospitalised.  The number of ICU patients has increased from 5 to 17 in the same period.

It looks like NSW maybe experiencing some problems arising out of large groups of people congregating at a pub recently.  Lets hope they can jump on it and not experience the problems that we have had in Victoria.

Both the worldwide infection and death figures are down on previous days although only time will tell if this is meaningful or not.

    The table is great. I have just one suggestion though, do you think you could out the text in the last few columns vertically instead of horizontal?

    Lee_O - good comment was thinking the same. Thought he was supposed to be a spreadsheet genius.

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...
