Was equally impressed ezy. Definitely growing in the job.
Been good after a shaky start & getting better.

Yep, NZ governments and Aus Governments doing well, considering the circumstances. And I include all state governments in that too. yes mistakes have been made but this is a tough tough situation, so mistakes will be made. ScoMo is doing OK from what I can tell from overseas.
Our fat orange friend over in the US, not so much.

I think Morrison and the State leaders are all doing a pretty good job.
I would like to see the JobKeeper package available to more casuals workers than what it is though.
The requirement for a casual employee to have worked for the same company for the last 12 months is not fair and needs to be re-visited.
If a casual worker can prove that they have been in, or close to continuous employment for 12 months they should be eligible.
They may have been moved on in their previous job, or left for a better job, and to not qualify for the JobSeeker is unfair.

Meh his government is still the most corrupt we've ever had. He's still a hypocrite over sending kids to school.
Not much difference between he and Trump actually, both B grade actors! That film The Three Amigoes is a classic example of how easy it is for some people to think actors can be real life heroes...still happening today. Vivid memories of my young boys absolutely splitting their sides in the Lorne theatre when they first saw that film.
Thats a horrid read. Makes me more stoic in my resolution to do the right thing.
Fancy causing someone that cause you want to to the beach.
Thats about right for me too.
Yeah he ballsed up the Bushfires so bad, he’s lucky he got another go to manage through a crisis. Not perfect but intent has been good. More we than me. Daniel Andrews still the big star for me, has the PR game perfected.
Yes that was a scary read. Thanks for posting it.
Fortunately in my locality (Darwin) we barely have any cases.
Yep, that's if it hasn't happened already. The Johns Hopkins site now has a US map and all across the middle of the country has a much lower rate of infection, one wonders if it is a result of a lower rate of testing in a lot of regions. The response in the USA is a real worry, I reckon they are behind in testing and there are a lot more cases there and if they open things up it will be shocking.
L2R2R do you really want to bring up climate change here and then claim it is so-called? Now, you are the one who has brought it up so I'll just continue to point out that you are going with imperfect modelling, science which is still working out exactly what is going on, etc with COVID-19, but challenge every little thing in relation to climate change. Either you accept that science does not have the complete story and we need to go by the best information available (which is better for climate change than for COVID19 just because it has been studied for a lot longer) or you cherry pick which science to accept. You might want to reflect on the fact that the IPCC is also hamstrung by the politics of so many countries in the UN, powerful countries, who want to keep making money out of fossil fuels, or just further their own interests.

No I don't wish to debate it in depth, I was merely tying it in with WHO. "So-called" referred to the "emergency" which isn't so urgent that China is required to change in anything but its own good time.
The data is better but the mechanisms are infinitely more complex, e.g. Fagan has pretty good data on Richmond but can't for the life of him understand how we keep beating them.

You do understand that is under medical advice? And that ultimately it is a state responsibility?
To the rest of Aust VIC is known as the nanny state.
No sure about his PR game being perfected, we ridiculously have no golf, no fishing despite being activities where social distancing is simply complied with and the health and well being benefits are huge. Particularly amongst the older generation.
One single new case announced in Victoria overnight. One.
728 here in Singapore.
The real worrying thing for me in the US is they have previously undersold their mortality and infection rates.
Yesterday New York State changed their reporting of deaths to include another category, probable deaths. Increased by 3k deaths!! Apparantly that's the increase in deaths at home over and above the normal for that time period. That's a very worrying stat and indicative IMO of their healthcare system. The poorer people who may not have health insurance, maybe are not going to hospital for treatment or testing. Whilst it has been stated that testing is free even if they do not have health insurance, treatment is not and therefore the US are still making people choose effectively now over their life or money. Crazy and such an immoral position to have to put people into.
Imagine if they get a mass outbreak throughout somewhere poorer than New York State (and I understand they have poorer areas in NYC such as the Bronx etc) such as Detroit etc. How many people will not go to hospital and will die in their homes. I wonder if the other states will follow New York state in reporting probable deaths.
