42 new cases for Australia and 6 deaths sees the CMR rise to 3.018% and ctive cases drop to 2,475. NSW recorded 8 cases and Queensland 3 with the balance in Victoria. The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 70.21 with metro at 61.6 and regional at 4.3 but still with 7 unknown. As pointed out yesterday that puts our CMR above the USA for the first time although the cases (3,192 v 148) and deaths (96.5 v 4.4) per 100k are both very different.

2 new cases and zero deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.337% and active cases fall to 108.

The UK had 3,497 new cases yesterday. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore those figures.

Just over 47.5k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,094 deaths sees CMR fall to 2.974% and active cases drop to 38.0% with the raw numbers rising again. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
Global new cases recorded a record high of 310,692;

The USA completes 91M, India 55M, Russia 40M, UAE 8M, Canada 6M and Azerbaijan 1M tests;

Europe records a new daily high of 41,055 new cases;

Hungary (916), Costa Rica (1,485) and the United Arab Emirates (1,007) - the highest since mid-May, all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

From someone who has now lost a couple of close friends to CV (not in Australia) I find these protests really hard to understand. What exactly is it that they are hoping to achieve? Do they think the CHO is going to change his mind and relax the rules? Do they think the Premier is going to back down and change course? It seems like its nothing more than just an excuse to run amok. Freedom they say? Ask the traders and shoppers at Vic market whether they felt freedom this morning.

If you don't like how the gov has responded, lobby your MP. And if your MP isn't listening or taking your side....maybe time to consider whether your views are in line with the broader public.

We are talking 2-3 months of sacrifice to save lives. We are not being welded to our house. You can still go out for shopping and exercise. Bloody hell the streets are full of kids riding their bikes. Parents are having a kick to kick with their kids on ovals. Stop watching rubbish news. I isolated from news and social media for a couple of days, and boy oh boy does it make a difference. Its not all doom and gloom.

Ps. Not playing down those who are financially impacted.

To late Andrews has crumbled, it was bound to happen...

"Victorian Premier Dan Andrews says he can no longer ignore the sheer volume and veracity of research that has been compiled by the state’s conspiracy theorists, and has consequently decided to end all lockdown restrictions immediately.

Saying that Victoria would skip stages 3, 2 and 1 and open up entirely, Mr Andrews said he now accepted that the ‘dandemic’ had never actually existed."

Just as well

Sounds nasty.

It's time VIC police started firing rubber bullets at these imbeciles. Personally, I'd hope they were real bullets, but some might see that as too aggressive.

Another option, since these imbeciles are scared of a bit of water, VIC Police should bring out the water cannons. Turn the pressure right up so a bit of skin peel results. Aim for the faces I say.

Franco Cozzo · 13-09-2020, 07:06 PM

I'm not sure what the relevance of Queen Victoria Market had today - seems to be an odd location for a protest

Maybe in the aisles of Safeway next?

Maccas drive thru?

Melbourne Airport Viewing Area?

Monash Freeway?

Chadstone Shopping Centre?

Where will it be next

I guess Tickford just realised you were on the money

Tickford. · 13-09-2020, 07:14 PM

Please let it be the Monash Freeway. I could put my newly fitted accessory to good use.

If you're about 5ft tall you'd be the perfect stereotype in that thing.

Franco Cozzo · 13-09-2020, 08:50 PM

Notice its always women who keep coming coming a cropper at the checkpoints or involved in incidents at parks?

Feel free to say something of context that I can respond to rather than just taking a potshot? Or are you going to get all angry and then ask for your posts to be deleted again?

it was aimed at that particular attitude rather than being personal.

**PG2** · 13-09-2020, 10:14 PM

OK everyone, that's enough. Any further off-topic posts will be deleted.

This thread is (sometimes) about COVID, not about video footage of cops.

Or hourly updates on the latest Facebook, Twitter or Instagram rubbish

**PG2** · 13-09-2020, 10:38 PM

Closed again. Everyone can now go to bed.

**russellw** · 14-09-2020, 09:16 AM

One person has been permanently banned and one removed from this thread.

This thread is not about police bashing, moronic protests or taking shots at each other and those who wish to continue in that vein will share the same fate.

**russellw** · 14-09-2020, 01:28 PM

44 new cases for Australia and 7 deaths sees the CMR rise to 3.039% and active cases drop to 2,379. NSW recorded 9 cases with the balance in Victoria. The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 65.0 with metro at 54.4 (94 unknown) and regional at 3.9 with only 3 unknown.

2 new cases and zero deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.336% and active cases fall to 97.

The UK had 3,330 new cases yesterday. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore those figures.

Just over 39k new cases in the USA yesterday and 707 deaths sees CMR fall to 2.967% and active cases drop to 37.9% with the raw numbers rising again. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
Global cases pass the 29M mark with the last 1M taking 4 days again;
Global new cases recorded a record high of 310,692;
The USA completes 92M, India 56M, Australia 7M & Romania 2M tests;
Europe records a new daily high of 41,055 new cases;

No countries recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

The graphs for today are the two sets of forward modelling - the USA and Australia.

The US case model now shows the trend dropping slightly below the upper limit but that probably leaves them heading toward 8.5-9M cases by mid November.

The US mortality model now shows the trend only slightly above the lower limit but that probably leaves them heading toward 240k cases by mid November.

The Australian case model now shows the trend dropping below the upper limit but it needs to drop more sharply if we aren't to have 30k cases by the end of November.

The Australian mortality model now shows the trend well above the upper limit but at least it is following that line now rather than climbing away from it. Hopefully, now that case numbers are diminishing that line will head back down below the upper limit otherwise we are looking at adding another 5-600 deaths.

I didn't post the Vic weekly numbers yesterday but case numbers were down 41% to 366 while deaths were down by 2/3rds to 55 after rising each of the last nine weeks.

**PG2** · 14-09-2020, 07:02 PM

For the last time, this thread is about COVID.

Anymore off-topic posts that have nothing to do with COVID will be deleted and warnings handed out.

Sorry to be harsh, but some of you are simply just not listening.

True, but discussion should be done without being rude, condescending or sarcastic.

Where's the fun in that?

MITCHAY · 14-09-2020, 09:25 PM

SA might open up to NSW and ACT tomorrow. I guess it all depends on what they think of how NSW is going. IMO If NSW were such an issue then we would have heaps more than what we have. People coming and going all the time.

Citroënbender · 14-09-2020, 09:37 PM

I hope it does come soon, should be a great bump for the economy of SA through visitors and possibly property acquisition from out-of-state.
