Aussie update:
Victoria (the State) has recorded 75 new cases of coronavirus - the state’s biggest daily figure since March 31.
• 1 from hotel quarantine • 14 linked to outbreak • 37 detected through routine testing • 23 under investigation
The cases detected from routine testing is from people who go into to be tested.
The cases that are under investigation mean authorities are unsure how the person caught the virus and where it is linked from.
Health minister Jenny Mikakos said on Monday morning that the state now had 2099 confirmed coronavirus cases.
“We have six new cases believed to be community transmission, taking that to a total of 271, and there are currently 288 active cases in Victoria.
“Nine people in hospital, one in intensive care. 1789 people who have recovered, and we now have exceeded 792,000 tests undertaken and more than 15,000 since yesterday.”
Victoria has conducted 53,000 tests since the suburban coronavirus testing blitz started last week.
Australia stats
Total cases: 7,686 Total deaths: 104 Cases recovered: 6,993 Total test: 2,379,175 Positive: 0.3%
ICU: 1 Hospitalised: 11
Interestingly in Aus, the 20-36 age demographic, leads the number of cases, with females higher than males.

This is what happens, as you press enter, after each comma, i pressed enter, thus the lines end, at the point you enter,

I ran into my first COVID Karen today....
I'm at the local Kroger, just finished my quick lunch time Monday shopping. I jump in line behind an older lady, staying on the divisions noted on the floor. She walks around the front of her cart to unload it so I move up a bit so I'm not blocking the aisle. Of course I'm in a mask as required by state law, as is she.
She looks up and me, and in a raspy, condescending tone says " would you PLEASE stay six feet away from me?"
I said (cashier eagerly awaiting my response) "Lady, we ARE six feet apart, in fact we're ten feet apart given the two 4' carts between us and the 2' between them" .
'Karen' glared at me and made some comment about making sure. The cashier in her attempt to not be obvious with her laughing actually dislodged her mask.
Once she was gone I was advised she does that every day she comes in. I responded that she is probably on the board of a local HOA and had no hanging plants to cut down today.
Some people just have to be pain whenever they go...

You should go up north. I haven't run into a single COVID Karen and I have not worn a mask once.

^^^^ I've seen two videos of women pitching an absolute hissy fit in grocery stores. In both cases it seems each came in wearing a mask but then took it off. Then the temper tantrum came, cussing and yelling and removing the grocery items from the cart and throwing them on the floor.
It's an embarrassment to see grown adults pitching such a terrible temper tantrum hissy fit. .

Not sure what all the fuss is about - Fauci just announced that a miracle vaccine will be ready as soon as the election is over.
Of course, we all know that he has no financial interests in this vaccine......

Fucktardians all of them, Seminole County issues public mask requirement, the inmates are clearly taking over.
Regardless of ones proclivity to wear a mask, others shouldn't be forced to stay home or comply, it should be the other way around, go out with out a mask or wear one if you want, or stay the fuck inside your home if you are scared of COVID...
You should go up north. I haven't run into a single COVID Karen and I have not worn a mask once.

Today at the hardware store and grocery store, more people in northern AZ were wearing masks*. More state wide testing is revealing more crud-19 positives (not necessarily hospitalizations). I do not wear a mask. They just glared at me, but said nothing. I was prepared to tell them that I just got the new vaccine, so mind your own business.
At the vet this week a vet tech was actually having trouble breathing because she's required to wear a mask. When we asked if she was ok, she said that she has a pulmonary condition and is on meds, but needs the job.
*Northern AZ has no requirements to wear a mask like the 'valley of the damned' Phoenix. 110 degrees and being required to wear a mask is just asking for issues not even considered by the politicians.

I went to Home Depot yesterday, and everyone that I saw was wearing a mask. The left wing dimwit of a mayor got the law passed that all are required to wear one. Once out of the store, my mask went in my hip pocket.
The "cattle chute setup" out front was gone and one doesn't have to get in line.

The local Republican organization for my part of the County had our big fund raiser dinner last night. About 150 people in the same room, eating together. I did not wear a mask; no one at my table wore a mask. Only a few people other than the servers wore masks. I'll let you know in a couple of weeks if I have the Big Kahuna virus. By the way, I sat at a table with our Attorney General, Eric Schmitt, yes the one who is suing China over all of this.
What I don't get is why it's OK in St. Louis County for banquet centers to re-open indoors, for over 100 people, in a confined space... all breathing the same air. BUT it's NOT OK to have our picnic at a St. Louis County park unless it's for under 50 people. The picnic would be outdoors, not in a confined space... with plenty of fresh air. That was just cancelled.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Ducey is a lame duck governor. He's turning into a John Roberts as his term goes on. He started out strong but is becoming a disappointment.

In Massachusetts everyone where's a mask. I have great enjoyment walking through the supermarket with no mask and my Trump shirt on. They all glare at me and I just smile at them. I swear half of them want to pull a off their masks when they see freedom.
These go to eleven.
