![]() Some anti vaxxer got separated from her child and thrown in the back of a divvy van in the Sydney protests: https://twitter.com/SydneyLWatson/st...747095552?s=19 I support anyone's right to protest regardless of how inane I think the subject is but I'm absolutely against anyone taking children with them to protests, they're leaving their child wide open for this exact scenario to occur where the parent gets detained and the child is now solo in the city or if it turns violent they'll be caught up in the mess. People should stop using their children as political weapons, I'm sure said child would rather be at home playing videogames rather than out on the streets of Sydney CBD following Mummabear along in her anti vaxxer campaign.

15 new cases for Australia but no deaths so the CMR is down to 1.4% and active cases to 10.1%.
NZ had 2 new cases and no deaths so the CMR is down to 1.408% and active cases to 8.2%. The UK had just under 4k new cases so the CMR dropped to 14.674% and active cases rose to 85.1%. The USA had just under 30k new cases and 1,687 deaths but also passed 80k deaths in total. The CMR dropped slightly to 5.948% and although active cases are now more than 1M they dropped to 77.1%. Elsewhere, Russia had a 7th straight day with more than 10k new cases; Africa is starting to see an increase in case numbers; Europe as a whole is still getting ~25k new cases / day and South America is still recording more than 15k new cases / day.

I know the whole of Australia is looking forward to eased restrictions but the new case trend for both NSW and Victoria is upward and on that basis, I'd be reluctant to see restrictions eased too much in those States.
Globally, there is talk of major sporting events like F1 restarting in July but I'd be wanting to see significant changes in the current case trends before that even got a moment of thought. Let's look at the polynomial trend lines for some countries. Firstly, those with less than 5 new cases per 100k of population: ![]() .. of those, only Italy and Canada are trending downward with Brazil climbing quite rapidly and even Spain and Denmark on the increase. Next is those countries with between 5 and 10 new cases per 100k of population: ![]() .. this shows only the UK in a slight downward trend (although that might be lower weekend reporting) while Sweden and Saudi Arabia are climbing sharply. On the plus side, the curves for Chile and Russia appear to be flattening. Finally, those countries with more than 10 new cases per 100k of population: ![]() Qatar is climbing at a very steep rate and has been for the last week. Most of the others are either reasonably flat or only slightly upward except Belgium which is on the increase again after a period of being steady. Whether these are the so-called 2nd waves is hard to determine without looking at a longer time-frame as this is based on the last 21 days only.

Trying to track down more info on the difference between covid deaths, total deaths and the unexplained extras but my internet speed makes garden snails look like formula 1 at the moment.

UK is about to introduce a mandatory 14-day quarantine period for anyone arriving from any country apart from the Republic of Ireland. Announcement will be made in the next 24 hours. That will most likely put F1's plans into disarray.

Dad just got off the phone with Nonna, 'I better get this **** over with now so I can go outside and do stuff' - Daniel Andrews got bumped up to the top of her hit list, she's threatening to kill him on the streets if she comes across him
![]() He's managed to displace Kim Jong Un which is a decent effort, he was the last person on the top of her hit list from the last time I spoke to her. Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 10-05-2020 at 12:40 PM. |

Just dropped off all the scaffold at my place for a quick turn and burn, I re- enter the highway heading north and bingo 2 caravans. I had passed a police inspection heading down so I don't reckon these 2 fools will be going far.

There is a shaft called the lightning ridge hilton. Apparently a bus full of tourists turned up one day. I've heard the same thing happened at Casino... Incidentally Banana was a cow (or possibly bull). Banana township and shire are named after a bovine named Banana. Don't ask me about Dingo... Last edited by guzzis3; 10-05-2020 at 05:03 PM. |

It seems some of us are unravelling due to the over the top restrictions and the storm trooper tactics used to 'quell the population.'
In American I saw a report where they are releasing criminals from jail due to the virus pendamic and they are locking up citizens who dare to flout the rules such as the hairdresser who opened her shop because in her words, "She needed to feed the kids." It will take the cops a long time to live down the way they treated the mum protesting about the situation. She shouldn't have had her kid with her, but this is now the norm for protesting - every climate protest is mostly children. It seems quite startling that the ones calling for the most stringent lockdowns are those who will be unaffected by it - the politicians, bureaucrats, public servants, teachers, the ABC - and it is turning into the have and have nots. Oh, and NSW and Vic are refusing to let businesses open. Why is that? Maybe if they had to foot the bill for the economic cost - now $4 billion a week - they would change their tune. It seems politicians, bureaucrats and cops are drunk on the power and they are certainly exercising it. They are acting like the Chinese govmint. Could this the real danger from the China virus? |

Did anyone do a count of the number of officers? Bureaucracy is taking over. This is very dangerous. If we don't like what the politicians are doing then we vote them out. We can't do that with bureaucrats. The NSW premier needs to come out and condemn the actions of NSW police for their behaviour over the treatment of this woman. And maybe roll a head or two otherwise she will be gone next election. |

I reckon she's had the kid there as a political tool, I've got the little one with me they won't arrest me so she goes to try rub it in their faces until it backfires and another woman is the one who ends up arresting her. Is the kid now going to end up in the custody of DOCS? The thing with protests is they can go from peaceful to not peaceful in an instant, you can feel the environment in any of these situations, everyone's on edge and its the perfect climate for things to escalate out of control. |

I worked for the PS years ago and it was well accepted we got less money due to job security and conditions. Now they are getting 130% of private wages and still demanding more. Utter management failure and utterly disgusting. What they don't realise of course (like the mine haul truck drivers) is they are setting themselves up to be replaced. |

I saw the map after I answered the post. I can't believe the Towers aren't included.
FC yes just like the football (?) players who kicked when the executive wanted them to take a 50% cut but gave themselves a 30% cut. Do as I say.... public service wages are still a disgrace though. Politicians salaries should be set in teh constitution as a fixed multiple of the national average wage, 1 - 1.5 sliding scale. Obviously it'll never happen. Afterall it's our money they are spending... |
