I’m considering a small standalone solar power system, and this may be the tipping point.
Overall power demand in NSW is down by around 5% not up according to reports.

10 days max according to previous White House physician.

Twitter is like a sewer with the animosity towards President Trump, wouldn't have expected anything less from the left.
He'll have the last laugh though.

This is a very odd and very un Trump like tweet. For starters he doesn't call it "covid 19". Wouldn't be surprised if someone tweeted it on his behalf.

Maybe Covfefe was a code word.

There are a lot of people who wet themselves and take his comments out of context but **** me dead.

He sounds the same on CNN or FoxNews to me and I watch both.

He has constantly downplayed Covid. And now he has it so like I said let see how crazy it will get.

He is a fat **** and if he gets the Rona bad he is ****ed.

But just imagine for a minute, the President of the USA, taken out by a foreign power ( China with their virus be it accidentally or intentionally unleashed on the world) without a shot being fired or war declared.

Data valid as at 23:59GMT October 2nd, 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.

17 new cases for Australia and 2 deaths so the CMR rises to 3.283% while active cases drop to 1,399. NSW recorded 4 cases, SA & Queensland recorded 2 each with the balance in Victoria.

The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 13.79 with metro at 12.0 (11 unknown) and regional at 0.1 and no unknown cases. Victoria reported 8 new cases for the last 24 hours.

No new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.353% and active cases drop to 43.

The UK had a slightly higher 6,968 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 had 66 deaths yesterday.

Just over 50.5k new cases in the USA yesterday and 920 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.836% and active cases drop to 34.0% with the raw numbers rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
The USA completes 109M, India 76M, UK 25M and Argentina 2M tests;
India passes 100k deaths;
Morth America passes 9M cases;
Europe recorded a new (amended) daily case high of 64,155 (1/10);
Asia recorded a new daily case high of 119,629 (1/10);

Greece (460);
UAE (1,181); Lebanon (1,291); Hungary (1,322); Poland (2,292); Belgium (2,607 - the highest since 15/4); Nepal (2,722); Czechia (3,796); Netherlands (3,825); Ukraine (4,633) and Argentina (14,687) recorded a new daily high; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive days.

He is being fed a cocktail of "stuff", including an experimental synthetic anti body drug......a bit strange for someone experiencing very mild symptoms only.
Still no mention of hydroxychloroquine.

I heard the next step is to insert a UV lamp via the bottom entrance to bring 'light inside the body'

He's in a military hospital.

Are you referring to Biden's 5 draft deferrals?

Some detail on Donnie's treatment so far:
Quote:

The President's physician, Sean Conley, said Mr Trump "remains fatigued but in good spirits" after being treated with an experimental antibody cocktail for COVID-19.

Dr Conley said in a statement that the 74-year-old President received an intravenous dose of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals' dual antibody and was also taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and aspirin.

Regeneron's drug, REGN-COV2, is part of a class of experimental COVID-19 drugs known as monoclonal antibodies: manufactured copies of human antibodies to the virus that are being studied for use in patients with early illness.

The technique is already in wide use for treating a range of illnesses.

Data so far is limited for COVID-19 antibodies, but US infectious disease chief Anthony Fauci is among those saying it has promise.

Regeneron this week reported trial results showing that its antibody drug improved symptoms in non-hospitalised COVID-19 patients, with no serious side effects, and said it planned to talk with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about an emergency use authorisation.

It will be interesting to see australias infection rates coming into the warmer months if they improve. Queensland has been pretty good numbers wise during winter, but their winter is nowhere near as cold as victoria. My uneducated thoughts as to why Tasmania got away seemingly lightly is due to lower population and lower population density. And even if the same % of the population are idiots as the rest of the country, the same % of a lower population = less idiots.
Now that the US is coming into colder months, it will be interesting to see if their infection rate which is quite high already skyrockets. Same with china, even if they claim its under control, their winters get pretty cold too. And their cities are way up there with the most densly populated in the world.
So i hope not, but untill they work out a vacine, it may turn into a ping pong battle between the northern and southern hemisperes.
