The Polish govt. deserves all the criticism it gets. They’re setting the country backwards in time. The younger generation have a battle on their hands. 
I was in Łódż last year… beautiful city! 🤍❤️

My wife's family are from there. My father-in-law who died recently always talked about the dreadful sights he witnessed as he passed the Łódż ghetto when he was a teenager. After the war his oldest sister married a Doctor from  Łódż, you know, marry a doctor, an Auschwitz survivor, they emigrated and the doctor practiced from his home in Eskdale Road.  My wife tells wonderful stories about the weekend family gatherings there. I know Jewish people who were his patients. He died before I met my wife but I wish I had met him.

Nothing surprising.  Basically no large metropolis can shut it down, not to zero anyway.  Not once it's out in the 10s / 20s / 30s (loose in the community).

With an R0 of 5-6 Delta is Alpha on steroids (R0 average of approx 2.5).

Melb in lockdown till we reach 80% or maybe even later.  Late Nov / Mid Dec at best i reckon.  Fun times ahead...not.

What's the bet that wherever they play the GF this year there will be no crowd.

Agreed.

As noted in an earlier post - they should bring it back to the G!!

Certainly that makes the risk of snap lockout of crowds at Optus much higher.

Wouldn't it be ironic if all states banned crowds and the GF had to be played at an empty MCG!!

Delta won;t be put back in its box. Gotta get everyone vaxxed ASAP

The age today reporting a stockpile of 6 million doses of Astra. Some could go to waste. What a monumental own goal.

Today’s number is 61 but they have a new angle. Another 16 cases were picked up using some rapid processing device and will be included in tomorrow’s figures. It’s really 77.

Anyway, after today’s even harsher restrictions are announced, the media will be reporting that even harsher restrictions will be announced tomorrow. I think the AFL clubs should get out of the state by the end of the weekend because we are heading into the direction of NSW.

Australia did well to contain it as long as they have but I can’t see Sydney getting to COVID zero again, they need to get as many people double jabbed much the same as us in VIC. 

We’ll get to COVID zero again I think but I really don’t like the look of those numbers.

Well, I guess some leopards never change their spots: I understand he's an expert epidemiologist,  an expert Football Club President, and on expert in how to sell off infrastructure to his mates and cronies, a la Reagan and Thatcher.

I don’t want to be alarmist and also Clarkson will be coaching Hawthorn in 2022

I think that is a very alarmist tweet from Kennett (ironically he basically acknowledges that himself) I think the more accurate basis is that it’s expected there will be restrictions in some way, shape or form until New Year. Lockdown vs restrictions are two very different things and I think we will get out of this latest spread but just not in the pace we expected. 

I know they weren’t the only ones but those dingbats who had their engagement party in St Kilda should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. Laughing about it as well…

Agree I can’t see how government could justify a lockdown after 80% vaccinated. Essentially may as well just be asking us to stay in lockdown indefinitely if true.

 

Supposed Kennett would do such a tweet considering his alignment with Beyond Blue and mental health. I doubt a post like this would help

The present rate of vaccines nationally is just under 3 jabs per second.

The mythical 80% of over 16's will be reached at this rate in the last week of October. (likelihood is an increase in the daily rate will bring the goal in by a week or two).

Of course you need to factor in the break between jabs and the two weeks post second jab for full efficacy. It's not just a simple function of jab rate but we're going well.

One person decided that their symptoms didn't warrant a test and they would go visit their frail elderly mother in a nursing home anyway.

After working to midnight last night my wife and several other staff are currently working for their full weekend to help radically reorganise a large aged care roster, identify who needs to be isolated and where needs to be deep cleaned. This process includes the awful aspect of needing to relocate people with varying levels of dementia. All this is being done in the full human condom PPE outfits. She'll be skipping lunch because it just isn't practical.

That story just keeps repeating and repeating everywhere you look in any part of the care sectors.

I'm running out of patience for the self-indulgent gits of Australia, whether it is the smug complacent establishment types like Kennett and Hazzard or the parolee social club out 'protesting' on the streets of Melbourne.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
