I see Melbourne's petrol price has risen in line with Melbournian's sense of optimism. 40 cents per litre overnight. Having been sitting at $1.05 for pretty much the last couple of months, today its $1.45. Must just be coincidence.

I don't think that was the gov's idea when they said spend to kick start the economy

Data valid as at 23:59 GMT October 17th, 2020.
Not posted yesterday because of Bathurst.

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.

12 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR drop to 3.301% while active cases drop to 1,381. NSW recorded 5 cases, WA & SA 2 cases each with the balance in Victoria.

3 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.328% and active cases rise to 44.

The UK had a slightly higher 16,171 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 150 deaths.

Hi mate, you may have explained this, or maybe I’m simple, but you say 8 cases, but what you have there adds up to 10. What am I missing?

[wodahs]

WA just had a ship with 1 case turn in to 22 cases in just hrs

and with the NZ'ders going in to quarantine also , they told scomo this full amount comes off of the number of what he wanted WA to help with in returning aussies

They released the virus on us (happens every election year) and we wear masks that not only don't work but are made from the same country.

We would know who 'us' is if you put where you are under the join date on the left.

Malaria Trump released a note on her Covid experience a few day ago.
She did not take any of the bulls**t cocktail of medication her deranged husband(?) had ingested.

"I chose to go a more natural route in terms of medicine, opting more for vitamins and healthy food."

Vitamins, and healthy food.

The end.

The big man spoke to us in code and we all missed it. It was a "blessing from god" he said. Think about that for a minute.

Darling daughter who lives in Gisborne sent me this...
She is absolutely livid with Dan’s ongoing crap! (As I get the feeling, a lot of Victorians are!)

CURRENT ACTIVE CASES IN VICTORIA
METRO - 101
REGIONAL - 7

0.00002061%
OF THE METRO POPULATION
0.00000467%

How's the global daily new cases figure trending, Russ? Have we started to see an easing in those figures yet?

Timing differences. I get most of my data from a set that looks at 24 hour periods that end at midnight GMT which is where the AU 'daily' total comes from. The State based data comes from a local source that uses a different time frame so there are nearly always differences in the total.

I was appalled to read that (think the story breasted mainstream news yesterday evening). Would have thought basic training in some devices and remedies went with the job.

BUT, did he make the decision to use security guards - I am guessing not, so a witch hunt for no particular reason

the day I believe 'main stream media' (MSM) is the day I think SkyNews is more left than the ABC, is the day I believe Donald Trump is a sane individual, is the day I believe Elvis is alive and working in a 7/11. Remember, this is the same channel that brings you ACA and 60 Minutes, the pillars of 'a current affair' reporting

[Jack91]

So whats the go with masks?
The scarfy /fishing thing i had since the start got outlawed a couple of weeks ago. It was tight on my face and very effective, didnt hurt ears, reusable and unloseable.

However, thanks to some idiot in charge, im rocking the wuhan special that is so loose and poor fitting its a joke.

Is this 'covidnormal'?

What is 'covidnormal'?
What is 'covidsafe'?

Come up with all these fancy names, doesnt matter, there will still be wave 3,4,5,6.....

Since the peak on the 16th of 413k, it has been 387k, 340k and 330k the 3 days since. Putting that in perspective, they are all well above the 90th percentile of 303k and the 387k on the 17th is the 3rd highest daily number so far. The weekend numbers tend to be a bit flattering looking at the graph but Monday was lower than expected.

Will be interesting to see what the numbers for Tuesday bring.

Georgia (the country, not the State) makes an interesting study. They went through all of the early pandemic from March until June averaging only 8 cases per day with a peak of 42 in mid April. From then until mid July that average dropped to 3 cases per day with a peak of 9 and you'd have said they pretty much had it under control.

Cases started to climb from about 18th July with an average of 12/day through to the end of July and then dropped to 10/day through August before climbing to 39/day in early September and since then it has rocketed to be 225/day for the balance of September and 656/day thus far in October, with their highest figure of 1,192 two days ago and their second highest yesterday.

We (Costa Rica) was also slow out of the blocks... But since September, numbers risen dramatically.
Yesterday (Tuesday) daily new cases were 847... And the first day since September that it was under 1000.
Also averaging 15.7 deaths per day since September (total deaths are 1222)
Or 19 deaths per 100,000...
Yet the entire country has re-opened.... Flights from all States in the US, bars, restaurants, casinos, sports, beaches are all open now!
They are definitely putting the economy ahead of Covid risk (any wonder with un-employment at 30 odd % and high tourist season beginning in December)
