So he is not happy about the lockdown of his shire? But he also observed there were many cars coming his way?

What did Cr Hearn think was going to happen?

Remember this from last month?

finger licking good!

ford71V8 · 10-07-2020, 03:08 PM

^^ Separate incidents.

My query would be, Are the sex-workers also Guards, or are the Guards also sex-workers?

Confusing for us non-Vics

Sweden had 295 new cases on the 7th July and they were getting excited to see such a low number!

MercuryT · 10-07-2020, 03:43 PM

Mind numbingly stupid......

Good on the Ambos for reporting the car to Police.

Costly party for sure.

I'd love a video pf the sex workers eating the KFC. I reckon that would be worth watching....

No doubt they had the other 12 up on stage with them..

We have a contender!

NSW holds the highest Australian C19 daily cases @ 312

VIC is currently at 288

CoupeKing · 10-07-2020, 07:51 PM

I won't submit to wearing a mask, but if their so effective let's all wear masks and open up the country again.

Hope those who've rushed to their holiday homes are not infected. They must not have registered the Premier's words.

Hotham and Falls shut.

MITCHAY · 10-07-2020, 08:22 PM

The cases will rise for a while yet, that is to be expected. Hopefully we will see a decline in a few weeks after locking **** down again.

Unfortunately I'm thinking there will be a huge spike in deaths in the US in a couple of weeks considering they are reaching capacity in a lot of areas. This is why we are trying to catch it before we get overwhelmed.

Do you reckon it's a complacency sort of thing, people not thinking they are effective, or is it a supply issue?

If you end up with supply issues over there let us know what and we'll each pick-a-Vic to keep supplied with what you can't get.

And chin up Vic dudes - at least you are safer now they made that Torana guy give back his WEPN plates. Phew!

MITCHAY · 10-07-2020, 08:49 PM

Well I think the mask issue in Australia is because we were told not to go buy them up so that the health workers are left short not necessarily because we don't want to wear them. Apart from what is happening now in Vic there really hasn't been a strong case for it.

We flattened the curve without them since we haven't had much community transmission and that is what is different about what is happening now.

Sure if I had to I would but you would also have to tell me where I can buy them

MercuryT · 10-07-2020, 08:50 PM

Some c'cksmack back from Vic is on the loose in Tasmania apparently.

Supposed to be in forced quarantine but Police can't find him.

Have his rego too at least.

I mean seriously. If this clown is positive could be devestating.

So many breasts

They've said Victorians should consider wearing masks in public, might get my hipster on and bring back this ol' chestnut:

Same for Polio. It has a higher mutation rate than Influenza, but a lower rate of antigenic shift. What is mutating is more important than how often.

Came across this video and it raises many valid points...

If you want to know who is in charge, just look at who you can not criticise.

The advice not to wear them probably had more to do with a lack of available supplies and the fact that the Government wanted to keep what they had for health care workers than it had to do with their usefulness. We've had them since day 1 and use them whenever we go out.

Just to be clear. This clown is a local that has returned from Victoria rather than a Victorian visiting.

He is definitely North western tasmanian.

They all look like that, if you take his shoes off it's better than a DNA test...webbed toes.

Foot keeps slipping off car pedals too I heard.

Sure am getting sick of people parting with

"Have a nice day...Stay safe"

I prefer a businesslike parting like "Next......"

I try talk to everyone who calls work and ask about how it's effecting them, it seems anyone servicing automotive trade has taken a huge hit but businesses servicing automotive retail is bloody flat out with people coming in the door - ie Autobarn.

I guess people who are out of work suddenly have a lot of free time on their hands and are attempting repairs on their own cars(?)

I'm getting large volumes of calls from Autobarn stores for products that they wouldn't normally buy.

I had a regional Autobarn store chasing hydraulic valve control stuff which is about as far away from their business model as you can get

300 new cases for Australia and 0 deaths so CMR drops to 1.133% and active cases rise to 1,677 (17.9%). The ACT recorded another new case; the NT had 1; WA had 3 and NSW recorded 14 with the balance in Victoria. Victoria also surpassed the benchmark for the highest number of daily cases in the country with 288 compared to the 212 in NSW on March 28th but the overall National total is still well below the 537 peak of 22nd March.

2 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.427% and active cases drop to 23.

The UK recorded 512 new cases and 48 deaths yesterday so the CMR drops to 15.496%.

Just over 61k new cases in the USA yesterday and 960 deaths sees CMR down to 4.218% and active cases at 51.6% but the raw numbers are rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences but today is already looking to be worse.

Other notable points:
Global cases set a new high for the 2nd consecutive day with 230,525 ;
The USA had a 2nd consecutive day with over 60k new cases;
South America passes 100k deaths;
Asia records a new daily high of 55,523 cases;
North America records a new daily high of 78,220 cases and after some recalculations the prior two days were also both new highs;

Lebanon (71), Libya (86), El Salvador (=298); Venezuela (431), Kenya (473), Oman (1,889), Iraq (2,848), Colombia (6,803), Mexico (7,280) and India (27,761)recorded new daily highs, those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.
