I guess we can cancel our clubs tri-annual trip to Beachport South Aussie this November long weekend

Victoria has reported its highest jump in daily cases since the beginning of this outbreak, with 1488 locally-acquired cases announced today.

Meanwhile, NSW recorded 864 new Covid cases and 15 deaths yesterday

AusPost not accepting parcels for 5 days to clear their backlog due to Covid-19. Don't they understand people are going to keep buying stuff during those 5 days?

On the flip side, DHL 5 days from Germany to me, Auspost 14 days and counting from Dromana to me...

From their website
For all other deliveries, please get in touch if ?your:

domestic item?hasn't arrived within 15 business days of the estimated delivery time


The initial delivery estimate was nearly 2 weeks to start with

our lunchtime Australia Post freight pickup didn't show on Wednesday last week, so I call them at 1.30pm.

"we've had an *outbreak* at the Nepean mail centre... no pick ups until Tuesday."

Australia Post general manager of corporate affairs, Michelle Skehan, told the morning radio program that the picture from the distribution centre “looks a little bit terrifying”, as online shopping booms in Victoria. “It is very orderly and they are massive facilities, but look, it’s not a great situation we’ve found ourselves in,”

I know there was lots of footage on the tv of people running around in the streets of Sydney, but you do realise the grand final was played in Brisbane, don't you?

As the NSW numbers continue to fall.   The Stay at Home restrictions seem to have worked as opposed to the hard lock down that some people were demanding in NSW.   No to get rid of all the restrictions and open the State back up again. 
Cheers

Wuhan high school classes shut over mystery virus as early as November 2019
In early November 2019, Wuhan doctor Wang Lei was treating patients in the city as a mysterious illness began to take hold.

While medics soon realised they were facing a new coronavirus, they were forbidden from speaking out about it, with Covid-19 only officially being declared a pandemic months later, in March 2020.

But according to Dr Wang, there was a chilling sign the city was not facing an ordinary flu back in that first month.

In Sharri Markson’s explosive new book, What Really Happened in Wuhan, Dr Wang – whose name has been changed for his own protection – told the Sky News reporter a flu alert was sent to doctors in November warning them of a severe influenza.

But already there were clues this was something far worse, with some high school classes also shutting down in early November – something which would never happen over a mere flu outbreak.
