I feel sorry for Vics, I don't feel the need to attack them due to their bad luck, their gov etc.
Relax, maybe support some by buying an otto and spike beanie this winter - melbourne made wool beanie, instead of other imported or china rubbish
I feel sorry for the Victorian folk too, but this is a classic example of the man on the streets not caring " she'll be right mate " attitude towards voting!
Victorians voted in their Government and trusted these people to protect, to manage or basically do the right thing!
They don't mind the big fat pay check, now earn the bloody thing, that's the man on the streets taxes paying your private education for ya kids!

And as for the Costa Rica news??
what does that have to do with anything, Costa Rica is just some country in South America, a holiday playground for rich americans, and the vaccines were more than likely Black market and made of saline solution!

And there is a black market for any and everything, why not covid vaccine?
The biggest attraction beside the beaches and the poverty is a visit to the "bat caves", no thanks!..lol..

Yes mate I got PM from moderator, no malice intended on my part, no intended put down of the poster, my interest was the bat caves, everyone thought covid come from bats, and I read an article of some of the poorer countries buying black market vaccines, mainly in poor African countries!

There was absolutely no offence meant to this member, but it was taken, I can't turn back the clock,its done now.


Cheers Billy.

The person who posted that lives in Costa Rica.

He and his wife moved over there a few years ago but can't return to Australia to see their grandkids. Actually, I don't think they have even met their grandkids. Being a grandfather myself, I can understand how hard that must be. My wife goes crazy if she hasn't seen our grandchild for 7 days.

So yeah, the Costa Rica news has everything to do with that poster.

EDIT: Sorry, was answered above while I was typing this.

At the end of the day, us moderators are human and we do the best we can.
I'm not as forgiving. Tickford has received a couple of day holiday for his comments as will anyone else who wants to call out the mod team in public as it will not be tolerated.

I'm surprised he hasn't been thread banned. It's day after day after day of Dan is a hero propaganda from him

Delusional. The numbers don't lie. Vic gov has botched covid outbreaks over and over again.

I can’t be the only one feeling the “we too, want to end this lockdown” sentiment coming from Victorian authorities is a bit fake, like the acquaintance who always says they want to catch up but never make the effort themselves.

It has little impact on me at present; temporary inconvenience. But I empathise with the Victorians who haven’t received a clear statement of practical strategy/goal they can work towards and thus remain significantly constrained.

Victoria’s Delta variant Covid mutation could devastate the world again

Quote:
The UK was making great strides in recovering from its deadly Covid run... until the Delta variant struck. Australia should take it as a warning.

Now, the Delta variation is taking hold in the UK and threatening to put the country on a backwards slide. It has now become the UK’s most dominant Covid strain, with cases rising 70 per cent in the past week.

There have been another 5765 new covid infections recorded in the UK over the past 24 hours, and 13 deaths, bringing the total fatalities to 127,836, The Sun reports.

The Delta mutation is believed to be a super spreader, which is much more transmissible than the previous variant of the virus which gripped the UK last December and now poses a serious threat to the country’s reopening plans.

Despite British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s pledge to reopen the country by June 21, minster are working on plans to move “Freedom Day” to next month and retaining distancing and limits on fans in stadiums, a move which is sparking concerns England’s hosting of the euros could be plunged into chaos.

It comes as a Public Health England report shows that those who tested positive for the Delta variant were at 161 per cent more risk of needing to be admitted to hospital within a fortnight. There are also reports of it causing serious illness in children.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT June 6th, 2021.

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting.

17 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.016%.

No cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.969% and active cases 17.

The UK had a lower 5,223 cases yesterday and 4 deaths.

Just over 11,603 new cases in the USA yesterday and 387 deaths sees CMR at 1.790%.

Other notable points: (weekend reporting)

Global cases pass 174M, the last 1M taking 2 days;

Uganda (1,259); and
Afghanistan (1,520)

... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

No countries move above the 90th percentile for their 10 day average and none drop below.

Thanks btw Billy… Apology accepted! (Rich and famous gave me a giggle! I wish)
One of the reasons I post how Costa Rica is going through this pandemic, is that it’s population is similar to Victoria’s (where I’m from)
Most would consider CR a 3rd world country, so no comparison?
However, it’s far from 3rd world, it’s health facilities, it’s hospitals, it’s dental facilities are absolutely world class (and a huge attraction to American & Canadian retirees that relocate here)
What is interesting is the proportionate covid numbers CR vs Victoria Australia (remembering similar pop) Chalk and cheese.. Last few months, It was the norm to have 2500-3000 NEW cases per day!… 30-35 deaths per DAY!..
Can you imagine Victoria with these numbers?
And, yes, we have enforced mask wearing protocols, sanitary stations at every entrance to every establishment, 25% capacities on restaurants, bars etc, No drive days depending on last digit on number plates, QR codes, Testing facilities everywhere….
So, yeah… I understand how some would say “who gives a feck about Costa bloody Rica”, but to me it’s pretty relevant!
(And, ain’t seen too many bat caves here, well no more than in Nth Qld rainforests!)

You know I have mates who have travelled all over Nth and Sth America and one in particular mentioned all the bat caves?
This is in Costa Rica, he did a long road trip right through the place, he mentioned as a tourist bat caves, lots of bat caves?...that's why I mentioned it, the whole world thought Chinese bats caused covid, and I wondered if CR had a similar issue, people blaming bats?

Cheers Billy.

UK over 5000 new cases yesterday and hasnt been under 2000 a day for a month......

but only 4 deaths...........

Looks like AstraZeneca is doing a good job of protecting you from serious illness. Not so good at stopping you getting the Ultra Beast variant though, but as long as the hospitals stay pretty much empty it is a way out.

Victorian liberal demands Premier Daniel Andrews answer questions about his injuries

Ms Staley issued a statement demanding the premier answer questions about the fall and his continued salary while on sick leave.
"Daniel Andrews has been off on sick leave for 91 days. He has continued to be paid as Premier despite not doing the job," the statement read.
"Over his time off he has pocketed over $110,000 ($1209.42 per day) of the taxes paid by the long-suffering people of Victoria."

Ms Staley said she wanted the following questions answered by Mr Andrews before he returns to work.
Who was in the house at the time of the incident?
What is the address of the house where it occurred?
Who owns the property?
What time was an ambulance called?
Who called the ambulance?
What time did the ambulance arrive?
Which ambulance station was the ambulance dispatched from?
Who made the decision to take the Premier to Peninsula Private?
Were the police contacted?
Did the police attend?
Has Daniel Andrews been interviewed either formally or informally by the police in relation to anything that occurred over that long weekend?

That will be a flop as Mr Spin King Daniel Andrews will fob it off like everything else he does.

If only the Libs could win the next election and hold a Royal Commission into the handling of Hotel Quarantine; geez that will cause some friction and angst amongst the labour cronies.
I can now see Daniel Andrews head on a spike.

As a Victorian I'd love to see a royal commission. Heck I'd support a levy to fund it. There would be a lot of sphincter twitching and I reckon you may not get the result you are after.

But, alas, we don't like officials being besmirched so it'll never happen. Tell me, what lessons did we learn out of Ruby Princess "special" commission?

The truth would be a start; I know it would be near impossible getting that from comrade Dans cronies.

They say conspiracy theories often have a 10% truth. But it appears not so this time around. Seriously, if the opposition can't make any headway after all these lock downs, and have to resort to conspiracy theories, there is a massive problem. Personally I would prefer to see two strong parties holding each other accountable.

"“Ambulance Victoria received a triple zero call for an ambulance at 6.36am on Monday March 9 for a patient who had fall on steps at a house in Sorrento,” it read.

“Based on information provided during the call, the case did not require and immediate lights and sirens (life-threatening emergency response) and the call underwent secondary triage.

“The triage determined that the case was appropriate for ambulance response, and as ambulance was dispatched from the nearest ambulance branch in Sorrento under normal road conditions at 6.47am. The ambulance arrived at 7.01am.

“The patient was assessed by treating paramedics as having suspected fractured ribs and pain relief was provided.

“The patient requested to attend a local hospital in order for the attending crew to remain within the area once cleared from the case.”"

"Over his time off he has pocketed over $110,000 ($1209.42 per day) of the taxes paid by the long-suffering people of Victoria."

Ms Staley said she wanted the following questions answered by Mr Andrews before he returns to work.
Who was in the house at the time of the incident?
What is the address of the house where it occurred?
Who owns the property?
What time was an ambulance called?
Who called the ambulance?
What time did the ambulance arrive?
Which ambulance station was the ambulance dispatched from?
Who made the decision to take the Premier to Peninsula Private?
Were the police contacted?
Did the police attend?
Has Daniel Andrews been interviewed either formally or informally by the police in relation to anything that occurred over that long weekend?

And not the first time Louise Staleys had a crack at Andrews (and Fox) relationship!

Quite a lot was learned. Mainly "lift your game, do your job and don't let it happen again"... and it didn't.

Ruby Princess coronavirus inquiry slams 'inexcusable' mistakes made by NSW Health

Key points:
  • The independent inquiry scrutinised the March disembarkation of the Ruby Princess
  • The findings slammed NSW Health for missing a spike in illness among passengers
  • At least 28 deaths and 662 coronavirus cases were linked to the Ruby Princess

An inquiry into the Ruby Princess cruise ship has identified "serious", "inexcusable" and "inexplicable" mistakes by NSW Health.

But the report from the special commission of inquiry makes few recommendations, saying health authorities had recognised mistakes made, and would "do things differently if they had their time again".

"It is inappropriate and unhelpful to make recommendations to experts that in truth amount to no more than 'do your job'," Commissioner Bret Walker SC said in his report.

In one section, Mr Walker explained why he made few recommendations.

"The mistakes and failures in decision-making here have, to a large extent, been recognised by the physicians of the Expert Panel, and by NSW Health more broadly," he said.

"They would do things differently if they had their time again.

"There are no 'systemic' failures to address.

"Put simply, despite the best efforts of all, some serious mistakes were made," he said.

It didn't cos cruise ships have stopped running . An inquiry that did not interview key witnesses, gave no recommendations, and concluded "oh, you say you say you won't do it again? Off you go then"

Whats the saying? "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."

As I said, I'd fully support a royal inquiry into the response. In fact, we should probably do one across the entire country once we get over this BS, to get ready for the next.
