Coronavirus 3 - Al Pacino's turn to mumble

Thanks Eddie, a useful explanation.

Sadly, just when I was starting to think you were half decent you screw it up (in the post immediately above) with more baseless slander.

What can I say, Dans personal masseuse just brings out the worst in me

Mate, this is Eddie. He and the truth are on different planets.

That’s the pot calling the kettle black...

In Victoria, 9 new local cases (6 of which were already reported yesterday) and 2 new overseas-acquired cases in HQ. There are now 63 active cases. 42,699 test results were received.

^ As I understand how they report, all 9 were reported between midnight Sunday/Monday and midnight Monday/Tuesday. 6 of them were mentioned in yesterday's press conference and so there are 3 "new" cases, in the sense that we hadn't been told about them until the numbers were published this morning. If you're trying to understand the trends, I think the only way to do that is to stick to a rigid reporting period and say it was 5 local transmissions yesterday and 9 today. When the press conference comes today, they'll probably give us a progress update on new cases since midnight - but unless that's a massive increase, I don't think it really tells us much about the management of the outbreak (although it might tell us more about the extent of the spread in particular settings, like aged care and so on).

yeah i agree to confusing otherwise. so 9 is not a good trend!

Well, it's better than 90 or 900.

It's also where they are. if they're a close contact who's been isolating the risk of them having spread it further is reduced.

If any are mystery cases who've been doing what seems to be the standard Covid +ve go to as many places as humanly possible, we're sodomised.

Anyway, I just walked down to the chemist and had my flu shot.

Apparently there's a Covid prevention better than masks or vaccines. Just carry a takeaway coffee and you're clearly as safe as houses.

Damn straight the takeaway coffee cup is better protection than a mask

FYI Stui, have it on very good authority that NSW police are in the process of getting ready to shut the border, so it's now or never!!!

Thanks mate but I'll work through it.

I don't want to leave the old girl here alone for an extended period and if the cold up there didn't kill if I took her up, I would to stop the complaining.

I have the necessary documents to establish an address up there and I'm happy to take my groceries up and stay on the property while I'm there.

This won't drag out much longer, Dan wants to get re-elected next year. Anyway, in 6 weeks I'll be fully vaccinated if I don't bring the second jab forward.

My experience was I didn't even feel the Covid shot, unlike the flu jab which I felt but could hardly say it hurt.

I was a bit NQR on the day too, but next day and onward all fine.

Well done you though, enjoy the fact that Bill Gates now knows everything you think.
