Blog Day 113: Tuesday 14 July 2020

Bon Jour mes amis, et bonne fete de la Bastille.  O to be in France on a warm sunny Bastille day, watching the parade go down the Champs Elysees, having lunch and beer in a sidewalk bistro watching the world go by and then enjoying the fireworks over the Eiffel Tower, such simple pleasures.

Had a Zoom meeting with some of the Shrine staff and volunteers this morning, just a general chat about what people have been doing and what is happening at the Shrine.  The Shrine did open for a couple of weeks between lockdown version 1 and lockdown version 2 but is once again firmly all locked up.

Houston we have a problem, after such success with the new table format for my informative and interesting virus statistics the table template has disappeared from the blogger formatting options.  I have found workaround so that I can keep things simple and straightforward for you, my gentle readers.  I have sent a stern message to the blog administrators asking them to fix this as soon as possible, as it is causing me some inconvenience. 

Victoria reported 270 new infections in the last 24 hours from 22,000 tests.  Of concern is the increase in hospital admissions and number of patients in ICU, both nationally and in Victoria.  The figure of 270 new infections is amongst the highest recorded in Victoria in a 24 hour period.  Of the 270 only 28 are from a known source and the balance are still being investigated.  This situation must be overwhelming for the contact tracing people, good luck to them.

Not much good news in the international figures numbers of infections and deaths remaining high.  Mexico reported 5,000 new infections and 500 deaths for the last 24 hours.  India is moving up the charts with a total of 908,000 infections and 24,000 deaths.

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...
