I read all the negs you have written about your dad, so how about we change tack, a bit of soup for the soul.....think of one or two things that are/were positive about your dad.
Let’s do this.


I was not saying that my father was a bad father. He was quite a good father. It is just that he has a real problem with arrogance. For example, he acts like he is indestructible. Other people my age have said that they wish that they had a father like mine. But, when you come down to it, all the good that my father has done is heavily suppressed by his faults.

I hope I was specific or clear enough about requesting one or two good things you could write about your dear ole pa.... you did ...well sort of ..... and then followed by “but”....

So I have striked out the negative and left the 2 positives....paragraph all fixed now  Smiley

Well, okay. Dad worked hard for nearly 50 years of his life. He worked as a labourer. He was involved in cricket, rugby league, some soccer, hockey, and even played badminton in his later years. He is a grandfather to three grandchildren... (three legitimate grandchildren, that is). He likes his comedies, his police dramas, and various movies of the 1970s and 1980s. He has a particular fondness for looking after pets. He is a fan of looking after various birds.

And if Dad caught the coronavirus, he would probably end up in ICU.

Yes - for people over 65 it's about 1 in 50 who end up in hospital.

Okay, back on topic.....work this one out Bobby...
A guy walks in to a Melbourne bar - he’s just back from India, does 14 days quarantine in Adelaide, passes that and wanders the streets of Adelaide then flys to Melbourne AND THEN the virus that was on him all that time suddenly appears and starts spreading, and causes the complete lockdown of 6.5 million people for at least 7 days.

No one else in Adelaide quarantine or working there gets it, no one else in Adelaide anywhere gets it and no one else on the plane gets it.

But he gets to his home in Melbourne and SHAZAM, it takes off and shuts the whole state down.

And all this happens days before the State of Emergency runs out in Victoria.

And the reason for a lockdown, according to the govt, is that not enough people are “jabbed”.

But they get to extend the State of Emergency because of this sudden and mysterious outbreak that only happened AFTER the guy left quarantine and flew to Melbourne and mixed amongst his family.
Funny how no one is hospitalised or dead with this “deadly Indian variant”. Funny how it’s not thousands affected when it’s supposed to be so .... catchy.
Miraculous isn’t it?

Yep, it seems that this virus does indeed move in 'mysterious' ways, Lols.

I'm still trying to work out how we've been so lucky here in Perth with our 'close calls' with hotel quarantine breaches since the start of this year.

Infected "security guards" travelling far and wide around Perth and the metropolitan area yet they didn't manage to infect a single other person (as far as all the testing told us, at least).

We have another long weekend coming up this weekend... WA Day (formerly Foundation Day). I'm almost expecting another hotel quarantine 'breach' before the end of this week so we'll have another 3 day lockdown over the long weekend like we did over the ANZAC Day weekend.

Something doesn't add up with all this Covid business. I don't usually take notice of conspiracy theories but even I'm becoming increasingly suspicious about all this.

I saw an image on someone's Twitter page the other day - a figure with a raised arm and the caption read: "Hands up if you're tired of this Covid s**t".

Someone should sell t-shirts with that on, they'd make a fortune. Especially in Victoria.

5 new cases for Victoria yesterday.

Victoria has recorded five new local COVID-19 cases amid fears aged care residents have the virus.


Meanwhile... in other news...

Qantas offering 'mega prizes' of unlimited travel for a year for COVID-19 vaccine recipients


https://www.9news.com.au/national/qantas-coronavirus-vaccine-prizes-10-families-...

Quote:
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce is calling for more Australian companies to come forward with perks and incentives encouraging the public to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
The airline's vaccine incentive program, which launches in July, will offer several deals including unlimited travel for a year for 10 lucky families.
"We are looking at giving 1000 points flight vouchers, credits and we are going to offer ten mega prizes, at least one for each state and territory, where a family of four get unlimited travel on the Qantas and Jetstar network, anywhere in the network for a year," Mr Joyce told Today.


So, has it now been confirmed that vaccinated people cannot catch Covid and spread it far and wide around the country? Amazing, first I've heard of it.  Roll Eyes

Lucky we don't have people like Alan (and Jayne from Virgin) running the country. Or are they? Shocked

i reckon he caught it in Melbourne and the key is that he is a member of the Indian community , not that he returned from India with it. The government is doing all it can to suppress the information that the virus is spread much more by certain ethnic communities. It is these communities every single time which are responsible for the spread of the virus here.

FOUR Melbourne nursing homes are exposed to Covid with another worker testing positive and two aged care residents feared infected as the city faces new coronavirus disaster and longer lockdown


    An aged care worker who tested positive is Victoria's new mystery Covid case
    The home's local MP Bill Shorten said two residents have since tested positive
    There are thought to be among five new cases reported on Monday morning 
    Four nursing homes are now exposed with another worker testing positive
    Popular Coles and Kmart stores in Melbourne's north declared exposure sites
    Acting Premier James Merlino has not ruled out extending stay-at-home orders.


Victoria's coronavirus outbreak is on the brink of spiralling out of control and lockdown being extended after four aged care homes were exposed to the virus.

A resident at the Arcare facility in Maidstone, Melbourne caught the virus after an infected staffer worked while infectious, with another worker also testing positive on Monday.

The staff member, despite working with vulnerable people and being eligible for the jabs since February, was not vaccinated and the resident has only had their first jab.

An escalating situation in aged care could see Victoria facing an extended lockdown as its cluster swelled to 45 on Monday, with 279 exposure sites.

The elderly resident and second Arcare staffer are thought to be among the five new cases reported on Monday, as well as a separate care home worker at BlueCross Western Gardens. 

A further two aged care homes, Royal Freemans Coppin Centre and Royal Freemasons Footscray, have also been exposed as its workers are close contacts of the Arcare staffer.

Health bosses are holding their breath waiting for more test results from the nursing homes, with all four in lockdown and residents confined to their rooms.

Of Australia's 910 Covid-19 deaths since the pandemic began, three-quarters have been linked to aged care.

The Arcare employee, who is in her 50s, was infectious for two days while she worked at the facility before testing positive on Saturday.

Contact tracers have been scrambling work out how she caught the virus because she has no known links to Victoria's other infections, which are all linked to one another.

She is a close contact of the Western Gardens worker who has since tested positive, as well as the two Royal Freemasons workers, whose tests are still being processed.

University of South Australia chair of epidemiology Adrian Esterman said the next 48 hours will be critical in determining whether vulnerable residents were at risk, and whether the state's seven-day lockdown will be extended.

Either the tester failed to pick up that the man was infected. Or the man picked up the virus in Melbourne and passed it on. For all I know, maybe the man's clothing was infected by another person in India. He packed his clothes in a suitcase. Took the flight to Australia uninfected. Did the quarantine. Then the man finally got around to wearing the clothing after a two week period and the virus survived long enough to infect the man.
