In fairness, you have to remember that any organism with only limited active brain cells (like the Trichoplax) are only going to be able to follow the simplest of paths. It's not their fault, just the way it is.

![]() Very busy out on the roads today in the eastern suburbs. Plenty of people at the parks and on walking trails. Great to see. I truly hope those that have had businesses and jobs affected can have somewhat of a recovery fairly quickly. I thought it was a bit of a missed chance to allow some crowd at the Melb Cup, but it probably wouldn't have passed the pub test. |

Can we please stop the personal sniping, it's getting worse than schoolkids saying that my Dads better than your Dad!
In other news....Melb is back to normal for sure. Another 'Truck Driver' (and I use that term loosely) gets stuck under the Montague St bridge ![]() https://www.9news.com.au/national/no...d-5b81c9283b58

Back in April, our Prime Minister, Scott Morrison asked me to download the COVIDSafe app. It was going to help us all by keeping track of the virus he said. Even threatened us with no easing of restrictions unless you download the app.
I did as asked by our PM. I downloaded the app. Encouraged family and friends to do so as well. So Scott Morrison, can you please let me know how effective this app has been, and how much this app has, and still is, costing the taxpayers, please? |

We've been letting some political post go, but something that isn't even remotely related, and 5 years old, just won't cut it.

Almost open. There are still restrictions to stop mixing of regional and metro populations until 9th November and it looks like the limit on the size of indoor / outdoor gatherings may well be in place for a while yet.

I think you can guarantee this and other debacles will be on going.
How other states interact with people travelling through will be interesting, people wanting to get to Tassie via Melbourne will have to watch hot spots and hope things stay controlled once flights etc are booked.

Data valid as at 23:59 GMT October 27th, 2020.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting except for the Victorian 14 day moving averages. 14 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR drops to 3.286% while active cases rise to 1,423. NSW recorded 12 cases, WA 2 cases and zero in Victoria. The Victorian State 14 day moving average is down to 2.93 with metro falling to 2.7 (3 unknown) and regional at zero with no unknown cases (including today). Victoria reported 2 new cases for the last 24 hours. 1 new case and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.288% and active cases fall to 68. The UK had a higher 22,885 new cases yesterday. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore the CMR but even using their method they recorded 367 deaths. Just over 70k new cases in the USA yesterday and 529 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.578% and active cases down to 32.3% with the raw numbers rising and now over 2.8M. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: Global cases pass 44M with the last 1M taking two days again; The USA passes 9M cases; The USA completes 135M, India 104M, Russia 58M, France 15M and Hungary 1M tests; Serbia (1,053) - 39% above the previous high Greece (1,256) - 34% above the previous high Bosnia (1,555) - 22% above the previous high Lebanon (1,809) Sweden (1,870) - the previous high on June 24th Bulgaria (2,569) Jordan (3,800) - 35% above the previous high Iran (6,968) Netherlands (10,343) Czechia (15,663) Poland (16,300) - 19% above the previous high; and Italy (21,994) all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive days.

Anyone seen the video's floating around on the midnight shopping spree this morning? The line to get into Kmart Fountain Gate and Burwood would've been at least 100-150 metres long! Inside the stores were packed, with hardly any 'social distancing'.
I would've thought there would be a limit of how many people can enter based on the 4 square metre rule, but very surprised to see that many people let inside the stores. Kmart did state it would also be limiting the number of customers allowed in-store at one time for its stores located in metropolitan Melbourne. But it doesn't look like it. The lack of social distancing outside and inside the stores is just asking for trouble! Some people just don't get it. Melbourne cannot afford a 3rd wave. https://www.news.com.au/finance/busi...b18ef2825ebce8 |

Has the news about a Danish study mask mask effectiveness on CoronaVirus reached downunder ?
I find it very interesting to do my google searches with before 1 Dec 2019 as a filter. Looking up mask effectiveness, I came to a layman's conclusion that if those with symptoms wear masks, and those without wear gloves - this may well be better than what we have now. Here is one article I hit: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2019-...masks-flu.html |

I’m skeptical about the Melbourne Cup attendance rules and promoted idea there will only be skeleton staff on site. Expecting there will still be marquees full of luvvies and the rest, with compliance penalties simply added into the staging costs.

![]() Masks are not fool proof. It only reduces the spread, it doesn't eliminate. The only proof you need is by looking at the societies that have successfully tackled major outbreaks. |

At work we have just gone back to allowing multiple people to travel in cars but you have to wear a mask. But, in an office space we dont need to mask but adhere to the M^2 policy and distance measures. ![]()

Masks get a lot of mention in here but how many here carry a decent hand sanitiser in the car with them?.
