Blog Day 577 - Thursday 04 November 2021 - Day 06 of Covid Normal

 And now for the news that you have all been waiting for, after showing much fortitude, persistence and patience I have finally got my haircut. This morning I was able to walk straight into the barber shop, sit down immediately and start to get my magnificent head of hair and stunningly bushy beard attacked.

Below a couple of before and after photos;



The challenge if you choose to accept it is to determine which is the "before" and which is the "after".

Did anybody see Sleepy Joe nodding off during the COP26 climate conference.  Anybody else notice the deafening silence from the Australian intelligentsia, literati, the left media including the ABC, Age, and the Guardian and others who seem to think they know what is good for us.  These esteemed institutions and individuals including Wahleed Ali, Magda Zurbanski, Jane Caro, Stan Grant, John Faine et al have all been very quite about Sleepy Joe's multiple indiscretions, including nearly accidently declaring war on China.  

Of course if this had been President Trump the howls of outrage from the same institutions and individuals would have been deafening.  

Also nice to see one M Turnbull trying to drop the PM and the country into as much poo as he possibly can.  Hell hath no fury like a former prime minister scorned.  Nice bit of hypocrisy flying to a conference on climate change in a private jet.  Why couldn't he have sailed there in a yacht like that strange Scandinavian girl did to New York a few years ago.

And now back to the real world.  The daily new infection figures for Victoria are showing their usual Thursday peak with 1,247 new infections reported in the last 24 hours compared to 909 new infections the day before and 956 the day before that.  Hopefully it is just a reflection on the reporting process and not the start of a pattern of daily increases.

Currently the Victorian hospital, ICU and ventilator numbers are dropping with 660 covid patients currently in hospital compared to 747 on 30/10.  There were 9 covid related deaths in Victoria in the last 24 hours, this isn't moving much but has a slight downward trajectory.

Hopefully if the general thrust of our covid numbers continues downwards with only the rare exceptions the number of hospital patients and deaths will also continue to decline.  

I did see in a press report somewhere that the number of infections and deaths have been declining in the three North American countries for some weeks now.  That is good news for the possible opening of borders and maybe some sort of normalisation of international travel.
