And these are two reasons why the northern hemisphere is not doing well.

Absolutely, but if it was up to the weather then they should not be doing as badly as they are .  Spain and other European countries are also getting worse.

The way I read it Victoria recorded another 671 ( edit now up to 685 )  new COVID cases overnight, on top of the 397 recorded yesterday, so all up over 1000 in a day and a bit.

New lock down measures include no travel outside a 5 km. radius of home, all weddings cancelled,  schools closed and all but essential businesses closed as well as a nightly curfew..

This is pretty bad...... My thoughts go out to all Victorians, friend or foe.

5km is fine in some places but NOT in others.  I am almost out of my choock feed and will need some dog kibble soon, and the nearest feed and pet food stores are all over 6km from here.  PETCIRCLE was good for the convenience; if they were to be trusted to deliver on time.  😞

Am guessing that most people in Melb, will have to endure some kind of inconvenience to get this virus under control.

Tis a bit all over the place atm.   Was chatting with my neighbour today re her wearing/not wearing a mask out at her farm, some of the rules re this are just plain dumb.

The Premier mentioned the $1652 fine....if it's not paid and it goes to court and you lose,

it becomes a $10,000 fine.

I'm guessing the Sherrif will be busy assessing household goods.

I'm thinking a bit of common sense works in that predicament.

   Not needed if you are on your own property.

What seems obvious to me is that most politicians are bad at managing a health crisis. Doctors, nurses and front line staff have been pleading with them for months to do the right thing. But politicians have too many personal views and vested interests to listen. I doubt anything will change if/when this pandemic ends.

Wear the mask when travelling in between.   Not needed if you are on your own property.

Nothing to do with common sense, The law states, that, she doesnt have to wear one on her farm but if she is out there  with her nephew, they both do , cause he doesnt live with her
