most of the ones that have got out have been determined to do such , scale fences , short of locking them up in a form of prison ....all you can do is monitor cthem closely ? Interesting the PM has come out warning of an out break similar to Vic and the medias tearing her down for being scare tactics? yet they,ll be the first to whine if it does happen , bit of a no win scenario .....its getting all political because theres an election round the corner.....getting sick of listening to it

425 new cases for Australia and 3 deaths so CMR drops to 1.032% and active cases rise to 3,002. WA recorded 2, NSW recorded 8 and the balance were in Victoria which set a daily high for new cases for the 2nd day in a row.
1 new case and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.420% and active cases drop to 22. The UK recorded 687 new cases and 114 deaths yesterday so the CMR rises to 15.425%. Just over 78k new cases in the USA yesterday and 974 deaths sees CMR down to 3.819% and active cases at 50.7% but the raw numbers are rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global cases pass 14M, the last 1M in only 4 days; Global cases set a new daily record of 249,233; The USA recorded more than 70k new cases; India completes 13M and the USA 46M tests; Africa recorded a new daily high with 20,489 new cases; Asia recorded a new daily high with 63,411 new cases; North America recorded a new daily high with 84,926 new cases; Algeria (593), Bolivia (1,938), Argentina (4,518), Colombia (8,934) and the USA (78,198) all recorded new daily highs, those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

I see parliament isn't going to go ahead
![]() I'd hate to see their inaction during a war. Maybe we should do what the AFL has done and isolate all the pollies in Parliament House - set up some bunk beds and keep em isolated together so they can still do their jobs ![]() |

While the problem may not have originated at the BLM protests, it's quite likely it helped transmission along, and now rather than being clustered in a handful of locales, it may well be all over Melbourne, and we're just waiting for the incubation period to pass. |

Looks like the English will be reviewing their death counts.
Matt Hancock orders urgent review into how coronavirus daily deaths are calculated https://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...-a9624126.html “Anyone who has tested Covid-positive but subsequently died at a later date of any cause will be included on the PHE Covid death figures.” “A patient who has tested positive, but successfully treated and discharged from hospital, will still be counted as a Covid death even if they had a heart attack or were run over by a bus three months later,” added professors Loke and Heneghan." Say what?!?!? Surely not. |

That does sound rediculous. Unrelated cause of death yet having or had the virus.
Now not playing anything down at all. But the recent spikes, could that possibly be due to the greater availability of testing? By that i mean initially to get tested you had to be showing symptoms to get tested, and some people show no symptoms, yet now can get tested easier? So maybe initial numbers were 'lower' due to the lack of availability of testing. Just an observation of mine, no science behind it. |

There seems to be some concern for people from regional Victoria who commute into the city and N/W Melbourne for work. They could get infected and take COVID home with them. Specially on the regional train lines. Geelong and Shepparton in the spotlight it seems.
Unable to work from home? |

Refugee protesters active in Brisbane today. No doubt Extinction Rebellion will be itching to get out and save us from climate change. Seems it is back to BAU with these people, let’s hope C19 doesn’t re-emerge!

Been reading a few tales in the news where it seemed the Government were maybe holding a little too tightly onto people here, when they had good reason to leave and no further means of support in Australia.
Konfetka got an exemption to travel yesterday, she was going stir-crazy in Sydney and the family weren’t helping by pretty much constantly pinging her from Riga with video calls and clips of the grandchildren being totally adorable kids. I was surprised, she stubbornly* booked a fare 12 hours before fee-for-quarantine became mandated and then busied herself with preparing the application for exemption to leave. Permission was granted on the basis that documented necessary dental work was unaffordable to her in Australia but economical in Europe even with the flight costs considered. *A stubborn Russian woman? Who’d have thought it? ![]() |
