Blog Day 114: Thursday 16 July 2020

In yesterday's blog I made mention of the "Young Ones".  One of my keen eyed but younger readers has queried this reference.  For the edification of all "The Young Ones" was a TV show from the early 1980's starring Rick Mayall and Adrian Edmondson amongst others.  The show was set in a share house in London occupied by four uni students.  It was somewhat anarchic and often very gross.  The episode that I was thinking of was one where all of the students in the house had very, very, very bad colds and they were using various household items to deal with the consequences.  I do recall one of the guys using his hamster as a handkerchief and the hamster had taken on a very green colour.  The series was very funny but I could never face lentils after watching it.

Bentleigh East's version of Checkpoint Charlie was in action again yesterday.  Around 4.00pm East Boundary Road heading southbound was blocked by the police and drivers were being checked, I daresay, to ensure that they were conforming to the current lockdown rules.

DD did state in his media conference this morning that there were no plans currently in place to move to stage 4 restrictions although he did caveat that by saying that this could change in the future.  It was also announced this morning that level 3 elective surgeries would be capped in both the public and private systems.

I have spent a lot of time getting the below tables set up properly.  Blogger still hasn't reinstated the table function so what I have to do is i) prepare the table in excel (which won't cut and paste into Blogger as we all know) ii) cut and paste the excel table into a Word table (which will cut and paste into the blog) and iii) cut and paste the Word table into the blog.  I hope that it is appreciated.

So. onto today's figures.  Victoria has reported 317 new infections for the last 24 hours, this is the highest daily figure recorded by any Australian state in the entire pandemic.  Victoria has reported 2 more deaths, apparently both males in their 80's.  As you can see below the hospitalisation and ICU numbers are also still increasing.  I see that in addition to the usual known clusters a new one has been reported today, there a six infections reported as being sourced from the CBD offices of the prestigious law firm HWL Ebsworth.  If any CBD firms are still working from their offices this might lead to a rethink.

The worldwide daily increase in infections is the highest since I have been recording the daily figures, so no discernable trend of the virus coming under control worldwide.  Daily worldwide death figures still hovering around the 5,000 mark, again no downward trend as yet.

I have managed to get most of the worldwide weekly stats into a table which hopefully is to my more critical readers' liking.  As we can see the large numbers of deaths being reported has moved from the core European countries to the Americas.  Brazil recorded the most deaths in the last week, with the USA still in second spot and Mexico not far behind.  Due to Australia recording 7 more deaths in the last week we have overtaken New Zealand in the number of deaths per million of population.  New Zealand had another week of no deaths and only 8 new infections which I am assuming are from returned overseas travellers.
