Yup!

So what did everyone do with their last hours of freedom?

Photography challange this week is long exposures, it was announced this morning, I was so excited, they are totally my jam, I had a pic planned every day, ebpven though we only need 1 a week! So after checking out another house for my eldest we hit Willi foreshore, got the boats the city, then Willi beach, then a few at Altona of kite surfers when it was almost too dark to see! Picked up la porcetta pizza on the way home, hubby fixed the shower finally (ie he $@&^# off the stupid water saver,) so I’m gunna have a nice long hot shower, we are out of Jack so I cracked open hubbies chevas regal and spoilt it with a Coke Zero! Not downloading pics tonight, gunna chuck on a Netflix movie, something nice and violent and unrealistic!

What did you do?
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!

It sounds like you’re doing the right thing,Think Positive^.It’s good to chill out and try to relax at home when these lockdowns occur,or do something at home that needs to be attended to,like some work that you haven’t done for a while.But I’m one to talk,we haven’t had a lockdown here in Tassie since June last year.So what would I know? 8)

Well, well, well Danny boy caught in yet another lie. Seems his world class quarantine staff don’t actually know what they’re doing or the rules they’re meant to enforce.

But that’s ok cos Danny has ensured his supporters have lambasted and blamed a poor innocent person for their failures yet again!

He won't need to spin anything. He may, though, need to take out a couple of public servants or advisers, as the case may be, and shoot them for giving him incorrect information, if the chap with the nebulizer isn't telling porkies.

DHHS reports one new locally acquired case in Victoria, no new cases acquired interstate or overseas. There are 20 (known, we might qualify) active cases in Victoria and that one positive result was from 20,116 test results.

It's too early to know what that means but at least it isn't bad news.

^That's because the Victorian Greens are doing a great job of keeping Andrews accountable.

It will be interesting to see how many cases Dan has exported and to how many states courtesy of the airport cafe worker

^ Well, they've all got their own "world standard" tracing services, so it won't be a problem for them.

It wouldn't be hard to be better than Victoria
Victoria’s public health team is under pressure to explain why contact tracers took too long to get in touch with people exposed to coronavirus after health officials privately conceded delays in the system during a meeting with other states.
But surely only a little bit?
The lockdown followed two meetings of the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee (AHPPC) in which Victoria’s Chief Health Officer came under pressure to explain why almost half of the close contacts from the Holiday Inn quarantine hotel cluster were not contacted within the benchmark 48 hours on Tuesday.
Ahh, whoops. Dan has a funny idea of gold standard and best in class. He'd make a good snake oil salesman but couldn't manage a brothel next to an army base.

The twice elected Premier of Victoria, the Right Honourable Daniel
Andrews has acted swiftly, firmly and decisively. He has preventing any potential spread, minimising opportunity for exporting the highly contagious virus elsewhere including beyond the State of Victoria.

Good figures so far.

The truth and facts about the outbreak involves logical thinking, honest assessment and intelligently discerning the situation, it’s cause and presenting answers and resolutions. But for the silly right wingers, it is far easier and convenient to blame Labor than to use the little grey matter they have on correctly working out what happened. They point blame far more times than they have showers that’s why their comments stink to high heaven
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

If any good can come out of this pandemic mess I hope the DHHS gets the serious attention it needs. I'd also hope for incompetent public servants and politicians be held to account but I realise that's a pipe dream.
