Blog Day 712 - Tuesday 22 March 2022 - Day 25 Even More Covid Nearly Normaller 

Momentous news today, I'm getting married........ha ha, only kidding.  The real momentous news is that the blog is going weekly, most likely to be produced on a Tuesday or Wednesday each week.  Although the covid virus is rolling along there is less and less happening of a significant nature that requires immediate reporting, therefore as things stand a weekly update should keep us all informed. Furthermore, as life gets back to normal the demands on my valuable time keep getting greater and greater and some days it is difficult for me to find time for the blog on a daily basis.

Be assured though, that if anything of major consequence takes place either with covid or otherwise I will publish a special edition providing my particular (some may say peculiar) view and opinion on the matter.

As a special treat I have extracted some international figures, presented in two tables to be posted as soon as I work them out. The first is "Total Cases per Million of Population" by country and the second is "Total Deaths Per Million of Population" country. For the sake of clarity I have removed countries with a population of less than 100,000 as they can tend to skew the results due to their low population and I have only gone as far as Australia on each table.

I have produced some spreadsheet to try and make some connection between the countries with high "Total Cases per Million" and the countries with high "Total Deaths per Million" and so far the any connection is evading me.  I think the guys at the CSIRO will have to take a break from playing solitaire on their super computer and give me a few hours on it so that I can crunch some numbers on it.

For example Australia comes in at country number 58 in total cases per million and 126 in total deaths per million of population.

Peru which is country number one in deaths per million is so far behind Australia in cases per million it doesn't even appear on my spreadsheet.

Conversely Iceland is number one country in cases per million of population is number 120 in deaths per million of population.

In the top ten of each table Georgia is the only country to appear in each at number 6 in cases per million and 7 in deaths per million.

Now my head is hurting so I might have to take some medicine, and it is 45 seconds past 5.00pm so I am now allowed to have some hurting head medicine mixed with a little tonic, lime and ice.

I will have another go at this Friday and will post the spreadsheets as well.

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...
