They are just using any bull**** they can to justify their lockdowns. The incompetence of the Vic government is on show once again. When is someone going to be held accountable for this? It's one thing after another with these clowns, and yet no one ever faces any consequences

Plot thickens.
So.. where exactly did this Melbourne family contract the virus? VIC is suffering because of the incompetence of SA and NSW quarantine failures?? |

Last year we were told COVID doesn't infect or spread through children. Send your kids to school the PM said. It is absolutely safe to send kids to school he said.
And yesterday we were told a 2 year old has been infected with COVID and is in a Adelaide hospital. So... is this the same COVID as last year, or something different? According to some internet experts, it's no different and is being 'hyped up' to justify VIC's lockdown. |

I mean I understand to some extent considering that painful lockdown last year the itchy trigger fingers but hundreds of thousands of tests of this 'beast' variant and they can't even knock up the ton in positive results. Zero detected in NSW or ACT so far
That is ultimately good from from a health perspective but another week of lockdown WTF? |

Daniel Andrews sends message to Victorians responding to latest Covid lockdown
“But please know that every individual effort you made today, and everything you’ll do tomorrow and every day after will save lives. “Record tests, record vaccinations, record fight – we’re doing this to protect our communities, our state and the entire country. “Be proud of what you’ve achieved and be proud of our state too. “Keep fighting, Victoria.” The Victorian government was tight-lipped yesterday when asked about his potential return to work this month. Mr Andrews initially pinpointed June as a potential return date. https://www.news.com.au/national/vic...5de372abc5a90e |

I was off work most of the week because I was sick but have WFH the past two days. I figured with the exposure sites in NSW I just wanted to tick the box and not be that guy because it would have been the first local transmission in the ACT for nearly a year
I wore a mask for the first time and got my first Covid test today. I don't know if the testing methods have changed so much but they only took a swab in the throat and a little bit in the nostrils and swirled it around. Nothing like the horror I have heard about getting swabs rammed into your brain I got a text just then that said Quote:

The mouth/throat part was similar to the first two times but nose was only just in the nostrils rather than the brain massage it had been previously. |

I must admit one thing. It's all well and good to take your freedom for granted.
I have not done much but gone to work and the shops most of the last year so thought iso wouldn't be a big deal but it's another thing entirely not having that choice. Must suck living in Vic big time. |

Haven't heard much about the injections against covid-19 in this thread?
My GP and thoracic physicians and surgeons have been trying to force Astra Zeneca onto me, I refused, my choice not theirs, told em I will accept Pfizer or nothing! Had my flu shot, and because I live in Perth we have not seen or experienced what the Eastern states have. A year ago we had 2 weeks of mask wearing and hand sanitising then back to normal, well normal for WA! This virus depending on your beliefs about life and what constitutes "normal" has really made folk think!..most folk never think, they just act like automatons, day in and day out there is a "sameness" as they go about their business, and social media, the crap TV shows, they call it reality TV? Oh really, I can't see real life or reality on my TV, I see garbage, one person trying to influence anothers decisions about what, about nothing that borders on reality. Once in awhile this Earth seems to go through a cleansing process, maybe a good old World War or a big virus, like the Spanish flu over 100 years ago, well that stopped everyone dead in their tracks,,,excuse the pun! But just like a motor car you have to find the cause of a problem before you can fix it, this covid virus is the same, can't fix it until we find the cause? Cheers Billy. |

Possibly NSW's way of controlling the "numbers" to keep the state open? Don't report the true numbers, isolate cases, further tests until not infectious, and we can keep the state "open". The way NSW clusters seem to "vanish" as quickly as they come up is.. umm.. just amazing. |

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT June 4th, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 13 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.018%. 1 case and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.969% and active cases 17. The UK had a higher 6,138 cases yesterday and 11 deaths. Just over 18k new cases in the USA yesterday and 671 deaths sees CMR at 1.790%. Other notable points: Global cases pass 173M, the last 1M taking 2 days; Asia passes 52M cases; Asia passes 700k deaths; Eritrea (282); Suriname (333); Uganda (1,247); and Colombia (30,000) ... 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.

I assume your email is just a generic response , what I do know is that if you have had tested positive you will be contacted numerous times each day by your health department via phone calls and home visits and have more tests done until you are given the all clear from them, my comment comes from personal experience with a family member who was stricken with the virus.

As we have seen from the stats, North America and Europe have been well down in case numbers but this has been offset to some extent by increases in South America and Asia so I though it was time to see how the global case and mortality trends are looking.
Global cases are still growing at the same rate as the upper trend line although there might just be a slight tapering in the latter part. However, global mortalities are starting to move away from the upper trend line a bit:

So, let's drill down on the continents a little and look at the trends for selected countries.
Starting with Asia (and excluding India), the group with the highest case numbers are mostly showing a similar recent trend with four of the six countries having their highest peaks in late April and only Azerbaijan still trending upward... The next group of countries is not so consistent with both Nepal and Indonesia trending steeply upward to new peaks while Indonesia is starting to trend upward again after a January peak. The final group is also a mixed bag. They mostly reached new peaks over the last few months but Bahrain is still climbing steeply while Uzbekistan and Armenia are also still trending slightly upward.

Next up is South America.
The first three countries show Brazil coming off a recent peak - one that had pretty much continued to grow since day 1, while Argentina and Colombia are still climbing toward whatever that peaks ends up being. The next group show a similar pattern to the first with three of the countries (Peru, Chile and Ecuador) coming off a recent peak; albeit at different rates of decline, while Uruguay and Paraguay are still trending upward. The final two countries show opposing trends. Bolivia is still trending steeply upward and probably hasn't peaked yet while Venezuela peaked recently and is now trending downward.
