Australia recorded 11 new cases and 1 death so the CMR increases to 1.248% but the percentage of active cases continues to drop and is now 15.2% of all cases.
NZ had 3 new cases but 0 deaths so the CMR improves to 1.291%. The UK had under 4,000 new cases but more than 500 deaths again so the CMR worsens to 13.452%. The US surpassed 1M cases and the CMR rose to 5.621%. North America will probably surpass Europe for total cases in the next couple of days - it's currently 1.3M for EU and 1.1M for the USA despite the 200M extra people in Europe. The charts today will focus on the active case rates Nationally and for each State.

First up, the daily new cases by State. SA is on the 6th straight day of zero; the NT has 22 days of zero and the ACT has three straight days. NSW had 5 new cases and Tasmania had 4.

Queenslanders rejoice from Friday midnight, we're being granted a 50km radius tether.
Anyone wanting to take a drive, then I suggest you carry a map with a 50km radius drawn so as to not confuse the cops. |

Yeah, LOL. I was curious about why that website used the pseudonym, so I googled it.... They have a colourful back story and makes them 100% more legit in my eyes now.

Some random data.
The lowest chance of surviving the virus is Nicaragua where almost a quarter (23.07%) of their 13 cases haven't survived. Sint Maarten (17.3%) and the British Virgin Islands (16.67%) also aren't great but they only had 75 and 6 cases respectively. Belgium at 15.49% is the country with the most cases (47,334) and poorest survival rate. 40 countries have recorded at least 1 case without having any deaths. That encompasses 2,465 cases and Réunion has the most with 418 of those cases. Of the countries with reasonable case numbers, the best survival rates are Qatar (99.92%) and Singapore (99.91%) despite them having more about twice the cases Australia (98.75%) has had. In terms of testing, the Faroe Islands have tested 13.77% of the population having tested 6,730 of the 48.900 population. Iceland (13.6%), the UAE (10.7%) and the Falkland Islands (10.1%) are all over 10%. The UAE gets the gong for the biggest effort having performed more than 1M tests of their 9.8M population. Comparatively, Australia has tested 2.08% and New Zealand 2.61% but there are plenty well under 0.1% and of the non-African populous countries Indonesia (0.031%); India (0.052) and Mexico (0.055) have tested the least.

I’m thinking I will download the Govco mind control app.
Every other day. So they can have one day of me, and one day without me. I’ll just delete it and reinstall on a 24 hour rolling basis. It will mean I don’t get a skin irritation from the tinfoil cap. |

I am taking no chances.
The government app has no chance of tracking me. They will never know where I am. ![]()

Well we're around 1000 active cases now so good news.
Anyways you have to give the CCP credit. They have achieved something pretty remarkable by uniting us against them. Even apologists have been very quiet ![]() |

Interesting to see only 2.8 million people have signed up for the app, well short of the 40% of the population the PM and AG mentioned this morning. Well short indeed lol. The government thinks it may be necessary to waste a couple million of tax payers funds on a re-education, I mean indoctrination or reprogramming, I mean an advertising campaign to get more people to sign up for the app
![]() I saw this pop up on Facebook this evening. In life.. you should always stop.. think.. have another think.. and think again... To all the people who downloaded the coronavirus safe app... so lets say you are within 1.5 meters of someone who has the corona virus... do you have any idea what you have just done ? You have just given the Authorities jurisdiction to come and kick your front door in and drag your *** off to be quarantined... They know who you are and where you are.. with your phone.. remember ? That digital handshake is going to brew up trouble. lol...... Imagine being a tradesman or self employed and the government has just forced you to give up your livelihood for 2 weeks based on a hunch you might have CV19....

Wales and England had 8000 more deaths in a week than the five year average.
So anyone who thinks the Coronavirus deaths are inflated are kidding themselves. Also countries like Spain and Indonesia have also had massive jumps in deaths which are well above the official coronavirus numbers.

So selfish and short sighted. Those tradesmen and self employed rely upon the community being in gainful employment so that they have MONEY to spend on tradesmen/self employed people. Try and stop and think and let this sink in. We are all in this together. Everyone. Pending a vaccine (18 months? never?) or controlling medication (timeframe???) our best bet to manage covid 19 WHILE also opening up Australia so that people will then have money to spend on those tradesmen and self employed is to do a multi approach of testing/distancing AND tracing which the COVIDSAFE app will be incredibly useful enabler. Those people who have no employment or are very reliant on business opening up (like hospitality, self employed, tradesmen) or have limited cash reserves/mortgages and have work that has been put into hibernation- they are the ones who should be pushing the COVIDSAFE app and should be kissing the governments butts for being so proactive and rolling this out. Personally I have never been busier in my life but my family and I have loaded this app. Because the personal privacy cost of my data being kept for 28 days showing what other phone I was in proximity for over 15 minutes is such small fry as to be laughable as compared to the benefits. Its what a logical ethical person does to help society when that society is facing a Pandemic of 1 in 100 years. And you laugh and white ant one of our best shots presently available that will enable our society to re-open business and get some sense of normality- while keeping covid 19 morbidity rates in control. Wake up- Australia and the World is now in a very different reality to what we had 5 months ago- and it may be a long time for us to get back to some semblance of what it was like before Covid 19. ![]()

Was at the local oval late yesterday afternoon, 100+ people, exercising, walking, running, kicking football, walking their dog. Caught up and spoke to a couple of friends who we hadn’t seen for weeks (everyone kept to their social distancing). I thought to myself almost back to normal.
But then I had this mild to severe panic attack, all of sudden I realised I was totally vulnerable, I did not have the coronasavemyass application installed. What was I thinking ![]() |
