Before the international travel restrictions, it seemed that every fortnight brought a new nuffy wanting tens of thousands in crowdfunding to be patched up and flown home after an accident in Bali. I suppose they’ll resurface in due course but the current silence is lovely.
And while we’re talking seaside holidays, does Queensland have no regs on gatherings or distance between people? The pictures of schoolies at Noosa would suggest so. |

And there are restrictions on Sydneysiders too; no, you can't come here for a holiday. We won the football but we still hate you all, so there. It's the new trend we've adopted from the US, behave like 2 year olds, it's our sunshine and you can't have any. https://www.covid19.qld.gov.au/gover...s-restrictions |

Look out NSW, all the Melbournites were amassing on this side of the border last night.
Come around 4am here, there was a mass exidos despite the fowl weather, running like the border was going to re-close the next day.

Let me see, leave 4, breakfast, fuel stops, 7 hours casual drive, arrive after peak, 11ish time to duck for cover. Goog luck.

I’m looking forward to visiting my elderly cousin in Mt Eliza without the waste of time quarantining.

ABC is reporting that the US is seeing record numbers of CV patients in hospitals and record numbers under intensive care. It is not looking good. Even if a vaccine comes out tomorrow, it won't save the ones already infected. My 8 year old nephew hasn't been to school since March. My 5 year old niece returned to school a few weeks ago, but has to wear face shield. I hope the Biden administration can get this under control, but I can't see how citizens will play ball with any restrictions.
Again, we should be thankful officials here took hard and necessary steps to smash the virus in Vic. I actually believe it saved the rest of the Australia. But yes, I'm a one eyed lefty on Dan's payroll. PS. My cousin actually received approval from the feds to travel overseas last week. Hasn't seen his first born child since Jan when the kid flew over to visit relatives. But he is not allowed back in for 3 months. |

SA has shown that, despite best intentions and "strong" controls, the virus can get out. But I get it, its the Victorian premier, and there is a section of community that wants his head. |

They won't get his head
and for the record, before COVID there was a rumour Andres was going to retire and hand the reins to someone else to let them get the focus before the next election, but decided to stall it until after the COVID. And I can see the headlines now LABOR DUMPS ANDREWS AS A SHONK!!!! from the Murdoch press Vic Labor has a history of doing this - retire Premiers to allow for a smooth transition

Data valid as at 23:59 GMT November 21st, 2020.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 15 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR drops to 3.260% while active cases rise to 1,392. NSW recorded 11 cases, WA 2 and SA/Queensland recorded 1 each. 9 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.233% and active cases rise to 50. The UK had a lower 18,662 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 578 deaths. Just over 174k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,500 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.103% and active cases rise to 38.4% with the raw numbers rising and now over 4.7M. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: (weekend numbers again) Europe passes 350k deaths; The USA completes 180M, India 131M, Russia 72M, and Myanmar 1M tests. Lithuania (2,307); Japan (2,514); Azerbaijan (3,196); Georgia (4,048); and Turkey (6,017) - I missed the high yesterday of 5,532 ... all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive days.

Where is the active cases numbers for Australia coming from Russ? I thought 1392 sounded way too high, https://covidlive.com.au/ has it as 95.

I can't disagree with that - the only time I didn't support a Labor leader was with John Brumby and his water plan - worst policy ever, attempted to steal water from the driest part of the State in a drought to give to Melbourne - growing spiders now

Meanwhile in China...
Approximately 14'000 people at Shanghai's Pudong International Airport were asked to be tested. They refused and barged through. At least this time around they tried to stop people. Back in December and January, China was deliberately letting infected people travel overseas. |

So Qantas saying no jab, no fly. Knew it was a matter of time before the "not mandatory" vaccine started being forced on people. Next step will be removing welfare and various other government initiatives from people that don't get the "not mandatory" vaccine.
All for a virus with a 99.7% recovery rate, in a country with basically a handful of cases. They can shove their untried vaccine until it's been proven it's safe and effective imo. And not just some rushed trials. Already hearing things like older people have less side effects than younger people after being given the vaccine. So what exactly are these side effects? Tiredness, sore throat, a second head? |

Havent seen the link but QANTAS will want to be very careful with that one.
No jab no play policies have been around for a while but while I dont agree with much of what you say BossXr8 I do agree that I am happy to wait for 6 months or so until the vaccines have been widely used. Even then ill stretch it as long as I can, my kids and myself are fully vaccinated, but this sits differently with me.

My point was that you made the statements and it's only polite to include links to back up what was posted.

I'm all for it. As a FF myself I don't expect to have to sit next to some plague-ridden zombie. This will spread to other forms of social interactions as well - restaurants, cinemas, hotels, who knows - even employment? It won't take the long to convert the 'vaxers into compliant citizens ![]() |

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 14 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR drops to 3.258%.

Just over 153k new cases in the USA yesterday and 887 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.084% and active cases rise to 38.8% with the raw numbers rising and now over 4.8M.

Other notable points: Global cases pass 59M with the last 1M in 2 days; Global deaths pass 1.4M with the last 50k in 4 days; Africa passes 50k deaths; The USA completes 182M, India 132M, UK 41M, Spain 21M, France 20M tests.
