Coronavirus Outbreak

Wonder if other countries will follow Melbourne's handling of the 2nd wave

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

Numbers are worse than before ...we just don't learn as a planet

Girt by sea saved us

And some people want to remove Girt from the National Anthem. How many times has it saved us. Not just Covid19 but two world wars. Girt to bind or encircle. What a great unique word that is used perfectly in our National Anthem.

We just need Queensland to break off from the mainland and float away

Always said we should dig a moat at the QLD boarders and let it float off into the Coral Sea.

Shame the map is labeled wrong. It’s the Coral Sea, not the South Pacific Ocean the bounds QLD.

Coral sea is part of Pacific Ocean

According to worldometer, almost half a million new cases globally, in the last 24 hours alone!

Actually cracked it today with 504k plus and no doubt multiples more cases and deaths of which we are unaware, that will be estimated when the worst of this virus has passed us.

Further to your other post, I have also been keeping an eye on the huge exponential weekly growth in Europe, including Belgium. That country was already hit very hard during the extremely deadly initial wave and despite many people having already been infected from then until a week ago, on average 15,304 people, being 1 in 758 odd of their citizens have tested positive each and every day of the past seven. Meaning that 1 in 108 of the entire population this last week alone is a known new infection and it will be impossible to contact trace and isolate such numbers.

when you are cherry-picking, why don't you try Taiwan?:blush:

And it was also the first time since April we had 7,000+ deaths on consecutive days.

Yes Belgium is insane!

Also check out the worldometer chart for deaths in Iran - they are now going into a third wave, worse than the second. You will recall Iran was one of the earliest global epicenters at the start of the year.

I always thought it was seas first then oceans further out. I’ll have to go educate myself.

Not that I trust all the country's numbers, but certainly not Iran's. Their numbers are rocketing, but I reckon they are worse than stated and the death rate spike point in late July always seemed an oddity to me when compared with the relatively flat case count there for some time. Particularly so as the daily case numbers dropped a little in the few preceding weeks, whereas one would expect a rise then prior to the lag in deaths arriving.

It might be all they can process a day as horrible as that sounds FG

Good to see Chairman Dan is still trying to get the QRcodes sorted in Victoria he did such a good job with the hotels I am sure he will get the QR codes sorted ....

Whilst the security was far from perfect, you do realise that other states also used private firms and unless there is something new to come out of the inquiry, that it was a hotel manager that took the virus out of the hotel and his partner worked in the health industry spread it, yes?

and the delay with the QR codes formerguest ? the guy and his government is useless.
if it was a liberal government that had done what he had with hotel quarantine and lockdown we would have riots in the streets

Why ...Great Britain is girt by sea .....our leaders give a damn

Channel tunnel wasn’t closed quick enough..

Smaller population saved us as well .
We are also the arse end of the world ..
Geographically ..

Paul Keating said so lol

We are also 14,000 plus miles away from Europe, America and other densely populated nations. Britain don’t have that luxury.

Death lag has finally subsided in the US, 870 deaths today, over 1,000 the last two days.

I wouldn't pencil that in just yet - worldometer's 24 hour tally keeps going til about noon our time, so more may be added to the US number in the next few hours. Due to the time difference you see a lot of numbers form the Americas added around now.

The cruise ship situation in NSW could have ended far worse than it did. I don't think a premier can be blamed for a security guard deciding to shag people who are in quarantine.

By death lag I mean the deaths are really starting to tally up again to catch up with the uptick in cases.

Sorry I misinterpreted you. Yes you are correct. For a while a few weeks back India overtook the US in daily deaths, but the US is back out in front in this morbid race.
