*CONTEMPORARY KIDDING*
*♂- Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine myself entering a Bank, wearing a mask and asking for money.
✋- Never thought my hands will one day consume more alcohol than my liver...ever!
- Quarantine seems like a Netflix series...just when you think it is over, they release the next season.
- I’m starting to like this mask thing...went to the supermarket and two people that I owe money to didn’t recognize me.
- Who was complaining that 2020 didn’t have enough holidays...now what?
- I need to social distance myself from my fridge; I tested positive in excess weight!
***- Can someone tell me if the 2nd quarantine will be with the same family...
or we can change?
- In just two weeks we will hear if there still two more weeks to let us know that two more weeks of quarantine are needed...
⏳- I’m not planning adding this 2020 to my age...I didn’t even use it!
- We want to publicly apologize to the year 2019 for all the bad things we said about it.
*♀- To all the ladies that were praying for their husbands to spend more time with them... how are you doing?
- My washing machine only accepts pajamas...I put a pair of jeans and a message came “stay home”!
- If I see anyone on December 31 crying for this year ending, I will use a bottle on their head!
- After all that we have been through, the only thing missing is that the vaccine will be available only in suppository form.
**- I feel like a teenager... no money in my wallet, hair long and out of control, thinking what to do with my life, and grounded home.
Smile, release stress, and be safe!

Melbourne is finally in complete lockdown (stage 4) with a nightly curfew in place from 8pm to 5am due to increased community to community transmission. Many cases of unexplained transmission where health officials were unable to track down the original source for many infected cases. The lockdown means people are not allowed to travel more than 5 kms from their homes. I guess brothels and massage shops will have to close in Melbourne.
Anything is possible. Some people might dismiss it but seriously, would a punter reveal he went to a brothel after being asked to report his whereabouts to health officials? I know where I would be placing my bet.
It's interesting that the CovidSafe App found a few ppl in NSW infected through its contact tracing abilities. But found none in Victoria at all even with the high number of infected.
Maybe a good business venture to sell aluminium cone hats in Victoria, seems ppl are against any form of measures, even if it's to save lives [emoji848]
The bat changed the world!!!
The bat did indeed change the world... Now the world is trying to find the bat.
British scientist believe Covid19 original granddaddy was circulating around Sep 2019

But because China was the very first country that didn't choose like the other countries to just classify the cases as pneumonia and instead investigated and correctly identify a new strain of SARS virus has been found. They are the bad guys...
The Hong Kong people will All be tested for Covid in a join operation with the support health team from China, so that’s a 7 million people mass testing.
全民測試!
They are using a mixed testing method like grouping 10 people’s samples at a time and do the 1 test, if negative , move on, if positive then retrieving the details of the 10 people and test them again individually. Save a lot of time and resources. That’s how they used to test the entire population in Wuhan and most recently Beijing. So testing 7 millions is like testing 700K.
That’s how you can find out all the virus carriers and infected people with no symptoms and preventing them from keep spreading it into the community. May be something the Victorian Government should consider ?
Grouping ten samples and only testing one and if that one is negative move on to the next batch of ten? What if one of the other nine not tested are positive? I don't get how that works.
When they mixed the 10 samples together, they will all be inter transmitted (meaning 1 positive sample will basically infected all the rest instantly!) so if any one of the 10 samples is positive, the whole batch will be positive !
Unless they are ALL negative, then they move on ! Still, this process is 10 times faster than testing individually .
Thanks Ah Lungor I get it now. They put ALL the spit and snot together from all ten into one beaker and test that disgusting mixture. If negative, no worries. If positive, contact the group of ten from the revolting infected beaker. I wonder who the smartie who thought that up is.
Even upping the numbers to groups of one hundred would work compared to the contact tracing they have to do now involving many thousands.
I'm so sick of reading bad news out of Hong Kong, this at least is a bit of good news.
That brings up another point. Last time I read, the serum labs here were charging $200 per test. This was their amount to test for this or that before the pandemic.
Despite the huge uplift in testing scale the ****'s have kept it at this price. They are making super profits from the pandemic at the expense of the taxpayer when so many are suffering financially and the nation is sinking in debt. It is absolutely unconscionable and the government needs to put pressure on them to reduce the price. Kick the greedy ****'s up the arse.
Who doesn't reduce the unit price if someone who usually buys 10 is now buying 1000?
What dope buying them doesn't ask for a reduction?
31,000 tests conducted in NSW x $200ea = $6,200,000 just in the past 24 hours.
And this has been going on for months, with months still to go.
It is just a lab and a machine. Once they are bought, and a few crumbs in tehnician wages, the rest is pure profit. It is just a service fee, no capital outlay to produce it.
We should be doing the Hong Kong method and mixing the samples into batches of ten and testing only once. Even then they'd still be making a bomb out of us.

Australia, specifically Health authorities in Vic already know about this approach.
My guess is that what works in China may not here. Wuhan to test 11million ppl setup popup test centre in every neighbourhood, every factory and go door to door to test the elderly and ppl who are unable to travel down to the test centres. Results are sent to the person's smart phone. Their objective was to identify any asymptomatic carrier so they can be quarantined and stop the spread.
That may not work here. As many ppl dun wanna be tested. As we can see from the news many asymptomatic carriers in Vic are still going around, hence why stage 4 was necessary. Highly doubtful stage 4 will work. It may bring numbers down temporarily.
China is aiming for eradication when they find ppl or areas infected, those infected would be whisked away to separate quarantine sites until they are clear of the virus, not even home isolation. AU strategy is different. Just trying to keep the number low. And allow a slow spread across the community, which is like embers, anytime another large fire will happen again and again.
I feel the pain of AU healthcare frontline members and understand why the AMA wants to push for a change in strategy to eradication instead. Just look at the number of frontline members getting infected by the constant flow of infected ppl and the lack of N95 or full ppe gear for the frontline health members.
I'm not saying to test whole populations. Keep the same number of tests but mix ten samples together and test that. We'd save 90% on testing fees and stop being ripped off during a pandemic.
Just a quick revival. I wanted to find out from the senior brothers if they have resumed punting in today's lower coronavirus infection numbers in NSW. I want to get back in after a 8 month break, but not sure how the situation is like now.
I would worry about what happens with my contact details and I start getting annoying spam texts & emails
Trump should have got onto one of the phase three vaccine trails as a sensible precaution. By phase three stage (30,000+ people) any adverse risk possibility is extremely low. Eg. there haven't been any attributed to the vaccine in all of the phase three trials. Whereas the risk of him getting it in the huge campaign circles he moves in was very high.
