Blog Day 485 - Friday 30 July 2021 - Day 3 of Covid Lockdown V5.3 (Lite)

I am starting to run out of descriptive headers for whatever stage of the virus arrangements we are in.  It was much easier when we were either in lockdown or out of lockdown when the only variance was whether we had a curfew or not.  I still can't believe that we actually had a curfew in Melbourne.

My neighbour in the front house has just got his new little Labrador pup which I have to admit is very cute, and he must really like me as he has peed on my foot twice now (the pup, not the neighbour). 

And avoid any jealousy here a friend of mine has recently got a Labradoodle pup which is also very cute and has also peed on my foot (the pup, not the friend also). 

How much more horror can we stand, the worst news possible has just been announced, the grand final parade has been cancelled, woe is us!  

And in more footy news some bloke named Clarkson is leaving a team called Hawthorn.  Why this is front page news has got me beat.

And on a sporting note I have just read a very interesting and educational article in the Age on why the lady beach volley ball players wear bikinis, including photos.  Very interesting and very educational.

Who would have thought that you would get sporting news in my blog!

 And now back to the real world where real problems exist and where people have more to worry about than grand final parades, football coaches and sportsperson's garb.

Australia wide there were 174 locally acquired virus cases reported in the last 24 hours plus 3 more ROTs.  The majority of the locally acquired cases were reported in NSW with 172, which is an improvement on the 240 reported the previous day.

In the same period Victoria reported 3 new locally acquired cases and Qld 1.

Currently NSW has 2,557 active cases, Victoria 200 and Qld 43 for a total of 2,847 active cases, inclusive of 130 ROTs.

NSW is reporting huge numbers of test results with 95,000 results received in the last 24 hours and a whopping 111,000 the day before.  Victoria received the results of 44,000 in the last 24 hours.

Nationally there are 248 people in hospital due to the virus with 62 of them in ICU and 25 on ventilators. Of these 187 are in hospital in NSW, 42 in Qld and 7 in Victoria.

Internationally the Delta variant is cutting a swathe through countries that previously appeared to have the virus under control.  For example the USA after recording daily infections in the low teens is now back up to nearly 70,000 new infections in the last 24 hours.  Likewise France has gone from 4,000 per day up to 28,000 and Turkey has gone from 4,000 to 5,000 per day up to 22,000.  

I am guessing that death rates will rise proportionally over the next couple of weeks.

Unfortunately it looks like the UKs experiment with "freedom day" and vaccinations has failed with daily infection rates up from lows of 1,900 to 26,000 and deaths from three a day to 127.

Closer to home the virus is still running rampant in Indonesia with 48,000 new daily infections in the last 24 hours and 1,800 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...
