Apologies Cats, I need some help here from the collective intellectual horsepower here.
The COVID-19 Australia: Epidemiology Report is/was published every two weeks.
I acknowledge that from report to report the data may slightly adjust due to slight reporting delays. However, one would think that during the middle of a Pandemic, sufficient importance is placed on reporting that it would be minimal. You’d certain think that another two beyond the publishing date would clean it up.
There seems some to be a REALLY significant data problem between Report 25 and Report 26, here:
https://www1.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/novel_coronavirus_2019_ncov_weekly_epidemiology_reports_australia_2020.htm
Basically Report 25 says that their are a total of 674 Covid deaths in Australia as at 13 Sep 20.
Report 26 says that in the next two weeks, another 8 deaths occurred, bringing the cumulative total to 835
That’s a 153 death discrepancy in that two week block. Given that deaths are advertised daily on every MSM channel, I find it unbelievable that that many deaths were misplaced or overlooked.
In a strange twist, the following report (Report 27) was when they decided to cease publishing the easy to read table where this stood out like a sore toe.
Can someone tell me where these extra 153 dead people came from? Biden’s already been elected, and Dan’s election is still a while off.

****Correction, Aug. 12, 2021: An earlier version of this story overstated the number of children who have been hospitalized in Texas recently with COVID-19. The story said over 5,800 children had been hospitalized during a seven-day period in August, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That number correctly referred to children hospitalized with COVID-19 since the pandemic began. In actuality, 783 children were admitted to Texas hospitals with COVID-19 between July 1 and Aug. 9 of this year. ****….

Speaking as a Catholic, a eulogy isn’t necessary or even advised. People feel compelled to have them at funerals nowadays largely because of American television. Eulogies were unheard of at Catholic funerals until recently. Not merely unheard of but strictly forbidden. They are now being discouraged anew by bishops around the world.
I’ve always felt mothers particularly are un-eulogisable. Words literally fail.

It’s instructive, in a way, because it indicates that Birdstein has some similarities to our glorious leaders in parliaments across the land.
When they find out the hard way that they are nowhere near as smart as they thought they were, it instantly becomes:
1. A conspiracy, ie someone or something has been planning to get them for years, if not decades; or
2. It is someone else’s fault; or
3. A kaleidoscopic mishmash, on a Godzilla-esque scale, of 1 and 2.

At the risk of repetition, this is the nub of police work. Police are merely a very small portion of the public, paid for by the rest of the public to do the things the rest of the public don’t want to do, see, touch or smell.
And they do so with the consent of the public. They are equipped with batons and shooters only for the occasions when they happen across tooled-up, iced-out muppets intent on harming the greater community.
What they are doing now, as discussed, is NOT police work and has NOTHING to do with police work.
By the way, and having not seen that clip, if the plain clothed people didn’t fully identify themselves as jacks then the punters are entitled to believe they are being assaulted or unlawfully detained or both, and are equally entitled to the defence of themselves or another. The courts have long held that view.

The best funeral stories are funny stories that capture the essence of the person. At my Dad’s wake his long suffering neighbour told how he saw his Landcruiser out in the middle of the paddock and concerned for his welfare went to investigate. Dad had fallen asleep on the front bench with his dog looking at the sheep listening to Wagner. Another funeral of a mates orthopaedic father told a story about how he got a victim of an industrial accident out of machinery with an axe before he could even start to operate on him. Certainly makes you think differently about their memory.

Consent to enter was not at any time given. That a stranger was outside knocking and the shopkeeper opened the door a crack to better hear what the chap wanted does not imply consent to enter.

HoweverI think we can all agree that when we consider the last decade or so, and see the true evil done to us, and the planning of it, we should conclude it was no accident, without being labelled a conspiracy theorist.

Let’s consider how long our government’s policies, all without the people’s consent, have been completely dictated to by what can only be called foreign communists, no matter what they call themselves, be it UN, WEF, the DAVOS mobsters all.
Once they get those “quarantine camps” up and running and the vaccine passports in (which I’ve been mock for even suggesting for over a year now) we won’t be able to ever fight back, such is modern technology and the surveillance state.

Sometimes more than one person reminisces on a few aspects of the person’s life.
Assuming not, then it’s about bringing out the beauty of the departed person’s life, in unextended ways. If there are scriptural readings in the service, these can also be borne in mind for the eulogy. A more extended eulogy can be given at a gathering or wake after the funeral.

Rowan Dean at his finest.
Terrified federal MPs have fled Canberra and the city has been plunged into a seven-day lockdown after a man tested positive for Conserv-19, in what is the first ACT infection of the novel conservative-thought virus Lnp-ConserV-2 in more than a decade.
In a frightening development, two of the man’s close contacts also returned positive tests for the highly infectious strain of conservative thinking.
A conservative cluster forming up in Canberra. SMH
On Thursday morning, a startled ACT Chief Minister Andrew Lowe-Barr confirmed that Conserv-19 fragments had been detected in waste water coming out of the parliamentary cafe late on Tuesday and a man who had flown in from the electorate of Dawson in far north Queensland had tested positive for making a toxic conservative speech on the floor of Parliament shortly after.
Contact tracers have confirmed that the man, who for medical privacy reasons can only be identified as “patient zero”, is a Mr George Christensen of Mackay, and that Mr Christensen had spread a particularly virulent strain of conservative thought throughout the entire parliamentary airconditioning system when he made a speech claiming that lockdowns are madness and masks don’t work.
Canberra’s chief medical officer and infectious ideas expert Dr Anthony Albo-Knees was quick to condemn the man, labelling his behaviour “unacceptable”, “selfish” and “disgusting”.
Advertisement
Said Dr Knees (who has a doctorate in neo-Marxist eco-socialism and gender fluidity studies): “The idea that this man can simply wander into the chamber like this and open his mouth and spread his crazy ideas all over the place and risk infecting the rest of us is a complete disgrace.”
A clearly distressed Mr Lowe-Barr said the cases represented the ‘most serious public health risk’ Canberrans had ever faced.
Big Tech social media giant Fascestbook (surely Facebook? -ed.) was quick to remove George Christensen from its social media platform in order to protect the public from being infected by anything he might say.
Two of the man’s closest contacts also tested positive to Lnp-ConserV-2, including one man who disgracefully appeared on the ABC’s Q&A show without a mask and without the normal protective clothing of pretending to be a “modern” conservative. The man then attempted to infect the entire audience with his claims that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report contained nothing but “fear porn”.
Border tightened
Contact tracers have confirmed that the man, who for medical privacy reasons can only be identified as a Mr Matt Canavan of Townsville, had spread this particularly dangerous strain of conservative thought throughout the entire ABC airconditioning system. Mr Canavan claimed that the IPCC report itself claims that the worst-case doomsday scenarios of widespread devastation thanks to global warming and mining coal are highly unlikely to ever occur.
In a sign that he is in the advanced stages of contagion and in urgent need of political intervention, Mr Canavan also shockingly claimed on Q&A that Mr Christensen had every right to air his views on the floor of Parliament.
A clearly distressed Mr Lowe-Barr said the cases represented the “most serious public health risk” Canberrans had ever faced. “We do not know the precise source of infection, but contact tracers are working around the clock to contain the virus from spreading to any members of the Canberra public service, or indeed the Canberra public [isn’t that the same thing? – ed].”
The visibly sweating Chief Minister also claimed that genomic sequencing of Lnp-ConserV-2 shows it escaped from regional Queensland. “This is the first time Canberra has been in such danger since the dreaded novel johbjelkevirus (JoH-4-Pm) threatened to cross the border into the ACT way back in 1987.”
NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro warned rogue Nationals not to cross the border into his own state. “So-called conservative members of the Liberal National Party are asked to remain strictly in isolation in Queensland to help stop the spread of their fatal ideas into this state,” he tweeted. “I’ve asked Commissioner Mick Fuller to ramp up police resources across rural NSW looking for any Sunshine State number plates.”
Scott Morrison also expressed his outrage at the dangerous outbreak, pointing out that authorities suspected it may be related to Brisbane’s deadly Campbell cluster. “Only last week we saw the former Liberal mayor of Brisbane in close proximity to highly infectious individuals like John Ruddick and Craig Kelly and then quitting the Liberal National Party altogether in disgust and accusing me of being trapped inside the Canberra bubble. This is an outrageous insinuation.”
But the Prime Minister saved his harshest words for critics of his leadership style. “The ridiculous idea that these individuals are spouting that you can’t tell the difference between Liberal and Labor anymore is a complete fabrication,” he fumed through his N95 Respirator mask and “zero-emissions” protective overalls. “Both Anthony and I are in total agreement on this, as indeed we are on pretty much everything.”

KD – never made it north of Broome. Hope to get to get up to Darwin one winter. Enjoy it while you can. It is a rapidly fading memory for much of Australia.

When Roman Dean nails it he is very good. That must go close to one of his best. Good satire is hard.

In answer to the original question, a eulogy should be about two things: the joy of the person’s life, and funny stories to illustrate the person’s humanity.

Monty – the Lord Macaulay of the fantasy football firmament.
Areff, in defence of a growing numbers of bishops (whose defence is not a big priority for me on most subjects these days), they’ve had to institute an in genere policy owing to un-churched people making uncouth and scandalous remarks as supposed eulogists.
Older people who ‘get it’ are obviously not their concern.
Glad you had that experience at your Mum’s service. That sounds really perfect.

Calm down St. Ruth.
It was a gentle dig at mass cut and paste events where bylines, ads and subheadings for other articles are included in the pasted text.
The supremely critical may say it indicates a rushed lack of attention to detail that takes away from the intended message, which would be unfortunate because that intended message is valid.
