How can I lay down suppression fire with my hands full ??? I've had the outboards croak it and leave me stranded so no way this fella is strapping on a jet pack thingy to fly over a shark pond..
Good Morning , Good Afternoon , Good Evening
- Thread starter Bluey
- Start date
Probably wise, if history repeats they will be made in China likely out of knockoff diesel heater parts
I could fix 'em with a mod or 2 but preferably not in flight....
Looks like we be delayed again.. See you in 2025 guys..
Dont mozz us Dave, its another balls up but if the flogs can get on top of the latest incompetence that may work in our favour. It could be a hint that finally the flogs are up to the task (even tho they caused this one as well). Funny how we've conditioned to see a tiny resolution to incompetence and mismanagement as a win
Question is if we did open up and this was next week
What is he going to do lock down again.
At one stage we going to have to open up again.
I say be another week to see how it goes at least sorry
Same area that started wave 2 last time.
People go to that school from all over northern Melb. Including commission blocks in Flemington again
Not sure you can blame DHSS
if someone in my family has COVID I wait to we all got the all clear.
Not send the kid back the day before he due to be tested that was booked in.
By all accounts the family asked the appropriate questions, and the message given was good to go. The govt has deflected DHHS responsibility as a miscommunication on both sides. Under the current circumstances, all govt dept would be on nuclear alert and should ensure there's never any confusion. By the looks of it, its the kind of noncritical balls up that may well have been acceptable early on ... but we are not early on now, we're 7 months down the track of a rollercoaster of mismanagement, lies, deaths and economic carnage and we're well and truly beyond any inadvertant miscommunication.Question is if we did open up and this was next week

I suspect it could be a month of rollbacks
I don't think the masses would be widely compliant if they were to try and increase restrictions at any point now going forward. Quarantine was only a single failure, it's the safety net of contact tracing that's been the ongoing failure, and its still contact tracing that we are hinging all bets on now. Who knows if theyre up to it. Given the constant failure of contact tracing, and time and endless examples of how to get that done right we can only hope they've finally found someone with the brain function to get on top of it
Finger crossed Dave .... Im pack and ready to launch. I only need 2 hours notice
Still some personal responsibility. If you have a household and someone has COVID.. You think you triple check you allowed out.
DHSS lots of crazy grey areas.. other members seem still to be allowed out until they catch it.
If there is 6 in a house and 4 have it the other 2 can still go out Although can take 14 days for a positive
So every 2nd week someone stuffs up we never re open.
Casey 21st Sep then Franga Cleaner 2 Oct then Shep/Kilmore 9th Oct now this one
We never re open while people do not stay at home.
EDIT and now we have crazy right wing nutters calling horses racist while hitting them with a flag

I would be fully fuelled and ready to make a run for the border in a minute, luckily the border in Vic is only a tank of fuel away............
Hi,
somehow, this sort of sums up how I have to manage what is going on in Melbourne at the moment.
People aren't going to change and the DHHS is not going to ever be as good as needed. They have had months and months and you would have to be a born optimist to have any confidence in them.
take care
Mike

Hi,
following on from my previous post.
I found a site that was accurately reporting covid-related statistics and charts for Australia and New Zealand.
I liked the site and a few weeks ago became one of the volunteers that maintain the site.
It has been a real buzz getting back into software development. Especially since this is completely stress free, which is a huge change from my previous life in climate and weather modelling.
If you have a chance, please check out the site:
https://www.covid19data.com.au/
Some good news: the site is one of the three finalists for a Walkley Award in innovation.
https://www.walkleys.com/finalists-...-walkley-awards-for-excellence-in-journalism/
The winners will be judged at 7pm, 20th November and streamed live on

Now to step back in time................
They once made a Movie in Melbourne called "On The Beach" and the end of the world.
Ava Gardiner was attributed to making the comment during the shoot ;
"On the Beach is a story about the end of the world, and Melbourne sure is the right place to film it."

I take the pretend Hollywood make-believe apocalypse over the real-world incompetence apocalypse that we are enduring
Numbers are good in Vic.. Wonder what excuse he use today.
We have to have a rolling avg of 5 Dave and we're at 3.6, which is clearly not 5 in fact its 1.4 not enough. I think the 5 past by when no-one was looking, maybe around midnight on platform 9 3/4. We'll need to get the avg up to 5 quick smart.
Hi,
The whole North Melbourne outbreak started with a health care worker at Box Hill hospital contracting it from a patient in a covid ward.
After 9 bloody months, the DHHS has still not implemented adequate procedures in hospitals to protect the staff who work there.
Despite case after case after case of health-care workers being infected at work, DHHS will still not accept any responsibility or admit that the procedures and training in infection control at hospitals needs to be improved. Today DHHS stated that they are not responsible because it is the responsibility of the board of each hospital to manage the issue.
