I am not sure how govt works but i suspect since 2007 the Public Service has been running the country. No govt Minister is going to go against PS advice. Especially during this time since no Minister has any expertise in virus management.
Would a new party make any difference?? Plus i guess the PS is full of socialists. Howard/Costello stood up to them.
Will Dan discriminate against them if they are the last ones to the 80 pussent line?
I doubt it.

Living with SARS–CoV–2 virus isn’t some dystopian nightmare. 997 out of a thousand that get infected survive it, and that number can go higher where anti viral treatments are used.
What people should be fearing is what governments do in the name of saving you.
Well if it doesn’t make any difference then that leaves dictatorship, revolution, military coup, peasant uprising, mass emigration, gulags … [choose one or more]
Covid-19 rates are expected to spike in the coming weeks as children return to school across Britain and Europe, but despite high levels of virus circulating, the general mood is one of “we don’t care’’.
Bolstered by high vaccination rates, people are returning to their work spaces, the Tube is crammed, planes are full and mask usage is minimal, even while more than 40,000 cases are reported each day in Britain.
British experts, most of whose forecasts have been wildly inaccurate throughout the pandemic, have continued doom-laden predictions and have advised the government to prepare for a mini-lockdown by extending the next school holidays by several weeks if hospitalisation rates rise beyond the health service’s ability to cope.
However, any move by Prime Minister Boris Johnson to reintroduce mandatory masks or social distancing would be a “measure of last resort’’, says 10 Downing Street, knowing that it would be hugely unpopular and resisted by a population that is increasingly concerned about the social and economic costs of such moves.
Britons are generally carrying on with life, satisfied that Covid is no longer the major cause of death (it is now at No. 9 behind dementia and Alzheimers) even though the virus is expected to claim as many as 100 lives a day. In normal times, 40,000 Britons die each month from all causes.
Imperial College London professor Neil Ferguson, who continues to advise the Johnson government despite his poor track record of anticipating the virus’s impact, warned: “It could be that we see two to three weeks of growth of cases and then it plateaus and starts to decline.
“The challenge is it could be six to eight weeks (of rising case numbers), in which case numbers of hospitalisations a day could go up to levels which significantly stress the NHS and we just can’t predict that at the moment.”
Another government adviser, John Edmunds, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said cases would not come down any time soon.
“We are left waiting for herd immunity to kick in to stop the epidemic going any further, and I think we’re quite a long way away from that,” Professor Edmunds said. “We’re in for a more difficult period, more cases than most people think that we’re in for, and that will put pressure on the health service.”
While current Covid case numbers are 20 times higher than at the same time last year, the numbers of deaths and hospitalisations is a fifth of last year.
Britain has just recorded its seven millionth confirmed case of coronavirus, but this underestimates the number because most people, sick with symptoms, were told to stay at home and were not tested until four months into the pandemic.
On Monday 41,192 positive tests were reported and there were 45 Covid-related deaths, with 7606 Covid patients in hospital, of which 1034 are on ventilators. At the height of the pandemic there were 34,000 people suffering Covid in British hospitals.
The current infection levels seen in Britain haven’t been mirrored across the continent, although some of this is because of far less testing being carried out.
Across the EU only 11 people per 100,000 are catching Covid, despite it being the busy summer holiday season.
In Denmark where 90 per cent of the population has been vaccinated, all coronavirus countermeasures have been lifted.
Well, yes, sticking it to the majors is a worthy objective.
I am just sifting through the minors to see which ones might genuinely provide something constructive.
PHON is now an “old party” in terms of their addiction to the trappings of office and electoral funding.
UAP ran on standing up for the little bloke, but then degenerated into Jacqui-Jackie rabble and became a vehicle for pushing Fat Clive’s personal agenda including settling personal scores on the political right.
LDP? Maybe. I felt DL blew up a lot of political capital on vanity PR escapades of little real value. They are probably my most likely minor at the moment.

If they cannot express themselves intelligently and clearly without reverting to their inner primitive, swearing to have themselves feel mighty, then the peasant is not worth listening to. They are relying on their anger, objectivity absent.

What I am predicting is that, if Victoria is at 80% statewide but Darebin, Broady and Dandenong are stuck at 60%, will he keep them in LockDan and release the rest.
No.
He will go on a spastic rant about ScoMo holding out on vaxxes for disadvantaged with a liberal sprinkling of “Sky after dark” and “the evil Mudrock press”.

*It is hard to reconcile our empathy with victims – “believe all women” – with acceptance that not all alleged perpetrators will be found guilty. It feeds our sense of injustice.

I think he will go straight to vaccine passports which will merge with QR check in program and the Feds are working on that now, and restrictions placed on non-vaccinated.
Pretty sure Dan Andrews said no more lockdowns, and so did Gladys. Meaning – they will rely on restrictions on the non-vaccinated who will became the scapegoat for any outbreaks.
This is the Seven-Nilligan mantra since Pell won his appeal.
Apparently giving evidence once at a remote site (with a tape being played at later hearings) with highly constrained cross-exam, complete with comfort dogs, aromatherapy candles and helpful prompting lawyers isn’t enough.
What she wants is a single unsworn statement with no perjury risk to be taken into evidence as immutable fact.
The defendant then has to disprove it.
Of course, due to PTSD, the “victim” will be permitted to be as vague as Joe Biden about dates and places.

《Conducting mass vaccination campaigns on a background of high infection rates generates optimal conditions for breeding even more infectious Sars-CoV-2 variants. The combination of massive, spike-directed immune pressure combined with high infectious pressure rapidly allows these variants to reproduce more effectively such as to outcompete previously circulating variants/ strains. Mass vaccination, therefore, promotes viral evolution towards more infectious variants. The resulting enhancement of viral infectious pressure makes it more likely for everyone, including healthy, unvaccinated people to come in contact with the virus, especially in times where infection prevention measures are loosened. 》
Meh – I said many years ago on the original Cat that there are no friends on a blog – not really. Relationships can and often do turn quite quickly – from convivial to acrimonious – and they invariably stay that way. Misunderstandings and pile-ons regularly occur – some people reveal their vindictive nature and lie about others for their own ends. That’s just the way things are.

《 Georgia is one of the most religious countries in the world. For political reasons, the gov could never close churches (I see it as a good thing.) During the height of lockdown in April 2020, thousands of people crowded into Easter services & took communion from the same spoon.

If you draw a line through the highest you get around 70%.

Without introducing emotive arguments about what people should and shouldn’t be doing, the numbers point to 80% being reached.

Britain carefree as Covid rates rise
JACQUELIN MAGNAY – The Australian
