Try turning the paper up the right way?

 

[Tectonic]

It's amazing what people will do to hijack this spotlight.

I know nothing about:

Microbiology
Immunology
Chemistry
Viral epidemiology.

..............I know, I will make some vague extrapolations of cherry picked data and correlate it all with Donald Trump!!!!

Kinda like blaming the premier of Victoria for traffic jams ay

 

[LuvtheKangas]

I'm beginning to believe that your idiocy has no limits.

Fox News agrees with you.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Fox News agrees with you.

See how easy they rope in morons?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

never underestimate technocratically competent government. Trump just virtue signals. Nothing else.

He can’t manage anything. We’re lucky as **** down here. Morrison and the premiers have let the experts dictate policy and look how we’re going.

The fact that Trump is president proved that contention over three years ago.

It's as if the virus itself just does not exist.

It's all just an imaginary billboard to plaster with Donald Trump.

I'm not clear on what you mean here.

Not even his worst enemies are saying he is responsible for the virus, but whilst his supporters won't acknowledge it, he is certainly responsible for the US' inappropriate response and he's also certainly responsible for his behaviour, which is unacceptable from any adult let alone one in a position of such power.

I require to see your evidence of Australian citizenship if you hadn’t heard the word maggotted before...

Might be a pre-weekend spike, but who knows.

I still think Victoria are a bit light on for testing, especially when compared to Queensland. I presume that may be less regional cities, despite a greater population overall.

The last point on Mikakos' tweet is interesting ("Those confirmed positive overseas are not added to Vic tally. Only those confirmed here"). I'm unsure all states are treating the figures that way, which means the state by state numbers may not be very comparable at all.

Confused Californian lock-down protester. His outfit vehemently disagrees with his sign.

Those first few years of the Simpson’s have compensated fir the last 20.

This is your true calling.

Nothing compensates for some of the newer episodes

I’d say 5 seasons out of 30 have been really good. That’s horrendous.

Bit more than that for me, after 8 it really deteriorated quickly

Yes Queensland have conducted more tests than Victoria. Marginally more in total. Obviously more per capita as Victoria has some 6 Million people as opposed to Queensland’s 5 Million. However Victoria did boost their testing yesterday.

 

[Zondor]

And 16 of the 17 cases picked up yesterday were from Overseas Travellers in Quarantine and from a Cruise Ship. At least now in Victoria if you have symptoms you can be tested regardless. :stern look

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Lots of providers down here gearing up for resting to ramp up.

Yeah, 'Total Tests Per Million People' are Vic = 11,916 & Qld = 16,719. SA actually leads the way in that stat with 22,384.

The virus exists in a vacuum of scientific purity and talking about human responses to this crisis just sullies that purity.
