Melbourne. Fvcked again. And again. And again.

They are just websites that store your contact details, not an app

The QR code triggers the WebLink

The actual worst thing about them is that they don't auto-save your details so you have to re-enter them every time, and each one has a slightly different set up.

I much prefer the pen and paper option.

Don't you have auto fill in your Chrome? - works everytime

I don't think he has a Chrome, it is a Nokia 3110 isn't it UncleFB???

[Pat the Ex Mat]

Probably an iPhone..

[MungoMan]

Probably and iPhone..

iPhones from about 2016 onwards offer autofill based on the owner's email address for use in the link from a QR code. Earlier, nah. Two days ago I did mine via autofill at a local cinema but had to type in Ms MungoSpouse's details because she has an earlier iPhone.

[Pat the Ex Mat]

PEBCAK then

[UncleFB]

Probably an iPhone..

Yep, I even went into Safari to update my autocorrect details (I usually use chrome) to see if that would work, but nope.

It might be an iPhone thing, most of my social group use iPhones so were's usually filling them out together.

Reading today that Victoria will establish a single, COVID-19 hospital in Melb where all Covid-19 cases will be treated.

[iarmhiman]

I was going to say with summer approaching the virus is gone in Victoria.

If there are a few cases still about how much the spread depends on how much rain Vic, NSW and Queensland get due to La Nina next two months. More people could be indoors aiding spreading of virus

In saying that warmer, more humid air is better for the stopping of transmission than cold, dry air where it lasts for hours.

Our CMO's here in Australia are downplaying the impact of weather on the spread of the virus, citing the terrible spread of covid-19 in our hot, humid neighbouring countries.

The main reason is crowding indoors with poor air ventilation. Bad weather drives people indoors.

Neighbouring 3rd world countries have cramped living conditions already

I've been watching a fair bit of CNN lately, as I do every 4 years at this time of the US electoral cycle. Just now they had three American experts talking up the 'Victoria State' strategy for dealing with covid-19 and saying that American states need to use this as a model for success.

What the world needs is an app that does venue contact tracing without collecting any personal data.
Wait! - www.isol8r.app

The way it works is that when you scan a venue QR code it stores an anonymous token in the blockchain, including a one-way hash of the phone ID. Then, if a venue reports an infection, the next time you start the phone it pulls an alert from the cloud.

Now that the worst is over I think we should look at handing out the first place award for the most infected area in the most infected city in Australia, a golden poo.

The winner of the golden poo is . . . The city of Wyndham with 2265 cases! Congratulations to the residents of Wyndham for being a bunch of morons who don't wear masks on the streets or smoke with masks off or a generally fuckwits (I may or may not reside within said area and can attest to the rest of the population, not me of course, being morons).

On a slighty more serious note it does appear that the areas of melbourne with the highest case numbers do appear in the lower socio economic areas out west and in the north. Perhaps additional education around the rona and support for these areas might help out in any future containment proceedures?

Wyndham. The Adelaide of Melbourne.

I think there is a bit more to it than education tbf.
People in the lower socio-economic area are less likely to be able to work from home so are more likely to come into contact with others.
They are also the first hit as that is where the bulk of the security guards at the hotel quarantine facilities live - there was a longer period when the virus was spreading pre lockdown so it makes sense that there are more people here infected.
Finally, the residents are more likely to be immigrants and so socialising with the community is a bigger thing and family support is bigger. They are likely in bigger households with more interaction with the community. Again, more chance for spreading.

Look, I had a perfectly good shit fight starting point and you go and use "facts" and "Evidence" and stuff to make it look silly. thanks.
Also Hamilton is a real shithole, look at the bordies who live there

Its cup day tomorrow, nice weather and steak in the fridge ready for the ritual burning.

Even I must admit we are turning the corner and heading towards a better christmas period.

Melburnians have been freed out of lockdown for almost a week now...

Melbourne Cup public holiday today... the weather is glorious - 30 degrees and sunny, a perfect day to head down to the beach.

But the Covidiots are outside of Parliament protesting for their freedoms.

Yes, looking at the media coverage of this now. Lots of arrests. This protest is tone deaf, it should have been cancelled.

Anyway, I spent the morning having a picnic down by a lake near my house. Terrific weather with plenty of people out. But everyone was wearing a mask and no big groups.

Dictator Dan can eat a dick, no f**king awards for him apart from useless plum of the year.

On the bright side 5 days with no new cases and more importantly no deaths again today.

What is with the wait until Sunday for the 'grand unveiling' bullshit? Why are we getting 'hints' about what could might happen. This isn't fvcking high school. Get. on. With. It.


Again there are businesses waiting to hear if restrictions are going to be further eased and more people will be allowed into premises from some point in time next week. Do they order more stock, do they add additional staff/shifts etc.
Why wait until the day before restrictions ease to make the announcement and have these businesses scramble. Surely Dan can let people know today that from midnight Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday or whatever other arbitrary date he decides, the following can happen, and then detail what can happen. Give people some notice. He can always add more on Sunday.

This bloke must love the attention. Must crave it. We pay you Dan, stop the cock teasing and just fvcking get on with it.
