Yes, it's got that feel about it.
Picking up a mate who's flying in from NZ this arvo.
There's only been 11 cases over there so far.
I'm not sure how good a mate he would've been if there had been 23,000 active cases like there is in Italy.

Two finals cancelled.
Shield cricket final done, awarded to NSW. Fair enough, 2 games clear.
Now the Basketball League cancelled.
Perth leading 2-1, Sydney pulled the pin. Boss saying that Perth no certainty to be awarded the championship. Weird.
Weird presser from Sydney just now. Wonder if anyone was confirmed. International players want to go home?

Starting to be quite concerning LTRTR.
That was our biggest fear.
We were behind China, Europe so once people returned, assimilated into society the spike in our cases would climb.
Decision time by our state & Govt.
Yeah, it was always going to "take off" at some point, as it has elsewhere. It's what I meant earlier about now being the time to play it smart - if you can, avoid areas where people are gathered until government measures bring the infection rate under control. The actual number of infections will be many times higher than the chart shows as they're only testing those with more advanced symptoms. The lid's off.
True LTRTR.
Not enough test kits and only the ones who are severe!
Did I hear right.
Woolworths staff member assaulted another one stabbed to death. ?
Really people.
Points to widespread testing or a very good health system. Probably both.

I think one stabbed but not serious, another bashed.

Thanks LTRTR.
Stabbed but not killed. Person arrested.
Police arrested the person but they are saying not related to this crap going on!
Yeah right!

There's a ranking of health care systems here: https://ceoworld.biz/2019/08/05/revealed-countries-with-the-best-health-care-systems-2019/
Encouraging that Australia is #10, Germany #17. Some of the countries above us have had success in controlling it.
Think I said previously Italy was #2, but that was from an old list and they're only #37 here.
One thing which I found helped in the lab. Try to mentally image your hands as covered in wet paint when you're in public. You'll then instinctively touch your face with your shoulder or elbow instead.
Saw a guy this arvo , mid 30s tearing strips off a young Safeway employee, had her in tears ,
What am I supposed to feed my fxxxxxx kids ? top of his voice , whole store watching ,
This is getting ugly
Pleasingly our death rate per infection us only running a touch over 1% atm & they've all been quite old. That's still not great obviously.
Germany seems to have struck the right balance between capitalism and social responsibility. Very logical people, so they back the science, which puts them ahead of a few countries we could name.
But they were once literal Nazis, so there's hope for us and maybe even the US if we stop entrusting dumb people with the big calls.
This is what happens when right wing governments and fascist media use fear for political advantage. Every Liberal leader since Howard has told us to be afraid, and now they expect people to listen to them when they call for calm? People believe there are wolves at the door because that's what Murdoch and his minion governments have been telling them for two decades.
