I watched the little dots on the Victorian Covid map disappearing and thought how good. 2 weeks later more dots than I can count. Got a feeling that we now have 2 states with covid out of control now. Thanks Gladys.

Watching the NSW covid update. The health officer Dr. Kerry Chant just said "we are at a fork in the road". She has no idea. In reality they are in a 801,150 km² forest with no paths, no idea which direction to turn, fumbling around with a needle less compass, lost, scratching their heads. They seem to be expecting the vaccine to be like a 4 lane highway to appear in the forest and lead them out of the forrest at 110kph. Blaming others for not doing the right things. Always will be those that won't do the right things. Doing it hard and fast, those that don't do it right will have less effect than waiting till its out of control and still not doing it right. They need a quartet playing when they give their news conferences. After all they had one when the Titanic sunk.

Gladys v Delta...it looks as convincing as the Wallabies taking on the All Blacks. A new team and better tactics are needed just to be in the contest.

Gladys is still going on about their lockdown is so much harser than ours - FFSyou can still go to bunnings.. Try the online thing to a random Vic store then do the random NSW store..
Vic - click and collect
NSW - please wear masks...

This is about the third time her restrictions had tightened up and  have been the "toughest"
Still only need to wear masks in shopping centre, strip etc.

Everyone in our house have a laugh when Gladys tells us how harsh her lockdowns have been. "There're the harshest rules of anyone".   Sure.

You'd need a second bag to put on your head just in case her one came off.

Mornington Peninsula party, planned for 1000, keeps Victoria Police on high alert
By David Estcourt

Police say they were aware of a party planned to be held on the Mornington Peninsula that would have seen 1000 Victorians congregate.

Victoria Police Acting Superintendent Greg Hinton said authorities were actively patrolling the area after planners had hired a DJ and invited thousands to attend the gathering.

Acting Superintendent Greg Hinton discussed enforcement of health orders associated with COVID-19

“We had a street party last night in the Mornington Peninsula set up for 1000. It was a house party actually with a DJ and stage,” he said.

“We were actively patrolling that area, discouraging people to come.

“It is difficult for officers to monitor every situation where people are picking up takeaways ... because restaurants and things are everywhere, people are gathering … with the warm weather.”

The comments came after roughly 200 Victorians gathered on Sunday afternoon for an informal party on High Street, in Northcote, when a DJ set up outside the Peacock Inn.

People were seen lining up on Sunday for takeaway drinks at Brogan’s Way in Richmond.

The wife was talking to the EX on Sunday. (He's a Sydney paramedic) her EX, not mine

When you hear the situation from a front line worker..... it's not good.

As far as i can tell, we just have to get vaccinated if we are to see any return to any remote kind of normal.

Its a damn shame, that folks will follow anti vaxxers so blindly and ignore medical research.  ???

I've always said, the population has been dumbing down for decades.... this is the proof i think.


I DON'T CARE HOW NICE THE HAND SOAP SMELLS.....

Good to see the system works.

GP advises me, despite being an old fart, to get Pfizer due to a disorder that has caused me to have a couple of DVTs.

He told me where to book in. Tried that on the health system. Sorry mate we will let you know when you can make an appointment some time in October.

Mate turns up & says local practice is doing them. He just walked in an got an appointment for Pfizer.

So I ducked down this morning & I had an appointment booked, within 5 minutes, for Pfizer no questions asked.

Go figure.
