UK deaths now at 578
Still getting stupid blokes at work saying shit like " the normal flu kills thousands every yr and nobody cares. This is a media beat up"etc etc.

??????
Hmmmm I'm trying to remember the last time Spain had to convert an ice skating rink into morgue because of the regular flu.
I also can't remember America turning hospital carparks into morgues because of the usual winter sniffles.
This is so condensed with is capability to kill the old or sick in such a short time that it is extremely serious.
 
So it looks like we're going the route of herd immunity via letting the majority of the country get eventually infected, even though that strategy has been abandoned in the UK after they realised how disastrous it would be.


I still don't really see why going into NZ style lockdown wouldn't be a better option

The dickmobile? You betcha I am.

You still slamming on the brakes to get rear ended by it mate? 😉


Also, i note an article on the Hun site about concerns of tradies not taking social distancing seriously. Looks like others have picked up on your comments

How long can they stay in that lockdown?

Prob because its always going to survive in a small % of the population then when everyone is re released it goes Bang and back in the same boat .
 
The rate of growth recently is encouraging however, more like linear and not exponential. If we keep doing what we are doing it should work in our favour.
That could be right. Those wishing we were in New Zealand lockdown may not be wishing that if it lasts 6 months. Obviously if every single person did the right thing 4 weeks could be enough but I’m doubting drug addicts will give a stuff about lockdown and then there are others who have to work so unless they are tested they could be spreading it. Numbers whilst way to high have been very good I’m Victoria at least in the last 5 days. Even nsw has stabilised in the last 3 days. The slowly does it approach to a lockdown may yet still work and at least we have some of the economy still going.

No changes this weekend. Obviously happy with the numbers which are basically before the semi lockdowns so waiting to see numbers after the semi lockdown. Gutsy call. Be a genius or responsible for many more deaths.

He is shifting the responsibility to states & territories. There will be varied announcements from each premier specific to their circumstances.
 
what covid tracking sites are people using to get the numbers?

There will be but doubt there is lockdown in any state. Numbers are good although obviously would be great if they were better. Anyway I’m barracking that’s it is the right move as surely we all are. Would be great if they have the time to see if semi lockdown had worked. That would probably need another few days for accurate numbers.

There will be changes to school closures for some states & territories. VIC don’t need to worry about it because holidays have already started.

NSW will cop the brunt of international traveller quarantine measures.

Australian one with global overview


Good basic state by state one


Victorian Government daily update. I cant find one as detailed from any other state.

Yep we are lucky we aren’t popular for airlines compared to Sydney. I still would have shut all retail shops but that’s just an uninformed opinion

There is some weird stuff with those state by state figures. Why are Victoria’s tests so low. That seems a worry. Why have so many recovered in Victoria and not anywhere else. That is great for us. I’m confused. Who knows more about this?

Not sure.

Looking at the daily press releases from each state, Victoria is the only one consistently reporting how many have recovered.

yeah but Victoria will lock down , because Andrews knows its the facebook favorite, and he likes how people think he's decisive.

If you press + to the per capita chart, you can add Victoria and S.A. and NSW.

WTF ...Did S.A. grab all the test kits before anyone else could get one?

I hate that graph , " confirmed cases , starting from 100 ".
A) they are detected cases.
B) we are comparing places with totally different populations. 50 cases in Singapore is more Serious than 100 in Australia. 100 in Australia is more serious than 1000 in the USA.
So the starting points are not correct, and the amount of testing to find those confirmed cases is not considered. Useless chart.
