Here's an idea. How about we leave the medical theory stuff to the people who studied at uni for 8 odd years instead random dickheads.

The Prime Minister is questioning is questioning the Vic Governments (and others ) handling, and if questioned properley you are not branded. People like those protesting and saying things like Covid is caused by 5g cell towers or that it doesn't even exist are the questioners being branded.

123 new cases for Australia and 11 deaths sees the CMR rise to 2.380% while active drop to 3,943. NSW recorded 7 cases, Queensland recorded 4 cases with the balance in Victoria which was back up in triple digits again.
2 new cases and 0 deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.272% and active cases remain at 137. The UK had 1,715 new cases and as we know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines we are going to ignore those figures. Just over 43k new cases in the USA yesterday and 954 deaths sees CMR drop to 3.044% and active cases drop to 41.4% with the raw numbers still rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global deaths pass 850k with the last 100k taking nine days; India completes 41M, Turkey 7M and the UAE 7M tests; Asia recorded a new high for daily cases with 103,709; South America passes 200k deaths; Nepal (1,221) and India (79,457) were the only countries to record new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

Here are the growth rates for global new cases and deaths.
![]() ![]() At the current rate, we are going to reach 32M cases and 1M deaths by about the 26th September - but of course it's all a hoax ![]()

Yeah but to be considered employed you only need to work 1 hour a week.
Underemployment statistics would probably be more accurate and then look at this broken down by age group. This really effects youth and anyone working the 'gig economy'. It's 'business as usual' in Melbourne's industrial estates just with fancy dress and a couple less staff. |

![]() Curious on where business owners sit. Those that own a business, would you rather a re-opening plan now that has a 50% certainty rate, or wait another week and have say a 80% certainty rate? Also interested to hear more of Scomo's traffic light system. Sounds good in theory. Does that mean we can lock and lift on a weekly/monthly basis based on stats? How would business owners feel about that? Maybe we can test it in the lga of HUME ![]() |

The Age did a good story that stated that Melbourne employment was down 3% while the regions were up 4%
Anyway GTFO part 1: https://www.domain.com.au/news/melbo...e-city-980458/ GTFO part 2, coastal edition: https://www.domain.com.au/news/out-o...ats-up-978347/ Regions will crank coming out of this.

Would use carrier pigeon but I think bird flu has broken out in Vic as well.

Are all the lockdowns and restrictions over the top?
Of course they are, but what's the alternative? If there was a device that we could all wear that could immediately identity the presence of corona virus, and and we all carried respirators for such an event, then presumably we'd all be able to go about our business, and covid would still be eradicated in very short time. But such a device doesn't exist. By the time somebody tests positive and gets their results, they would already have spread it to dozens if not hundreds of others. So the only way forward is precautions. We're doing ok in WA, because reality is we don't have covid here. A few people bring it in from elsewhere, but mostly they have been contained. But if we do get it, and get community transmission, then we'll be back in the same boat as Victoria. Yes its a ****er. Yes its costing jobs, and money, and people's mental health. But what's the damn alternative?

One thing is for sure, if a symptom of having COVID was grape size, pus filled boils on your face, everyone would be behaving differently. The possibility of you, or someone you know being hospitalised, or even dying doesn't even matter, just the thought of having an 'ugly face' would make people think and act different.
Self-absorption, egotism and vanity is now the guiding norm of society. |

My favourite is that by shipping all the iron ore to China we unbalanced the planet and that's why the weather is all changing.

Before the adverse reactions start, the 41 deaths recorded today in Victoria only include 8 from yesterday with the remaining 33 having been delayed reporting, mostly from aged care facilities, some going as far back as late July. I'm not sure if they will go back and update the daily counts or if it's just going to be a statistical anomaly on the charts.
