CV and mad panic behaviour

Lockdown extended in Vic by 7 days. Had a laugh watching Dan Andrews dump on Sydney. He repeatedly stated that Covid was out of control in Sydney while advising that Victorians in Sydney can no longer return to Victoria as of right. They now need to seek permission to return on compassionate grounds if they don’t qualify under set exemptions.

Happy to help our little  Pacific Island friends, PNG etc but paying protection money to Indonesia is pathetic politics IMHO.

I think they are very strong Allies in the battle with China, we should work more closely with them.

I've travelled there a lot, not just as a tourist but for business and when I say a lot I mean enough to learn the rudimentary language. For most Indonesians China is sworn enemy, they'll happily take the Chinese money, but you should not confuse Bureaucratic pork barrelling with acceptance or compliance. If the government or authorities try to make them compliant under Chinese Directives there would be an uprising, most Indonesians see China as stealing their jobs.

The terrorism stuff comes mostly from the Western Provinces, West Sumatra, Medan, Aceh, and leaks across from Malaysia and the continent that houses many alleged radicals like the BMI. Nearly all the Bali bombing stuff has it's roots in Malaysia or further north.

Just to clarify, I was referring to the scum in China.

There’s an interesting theory China’s drive to be the World’s dominant superpower might be thwarted by, of all things, a population crisis. You’d think with a billion people, they’d have nothing to fear on that score. But the 1 child policy has led to a population that’s aging with little prospect of an influx of migrants to address this issue. Unfortunately, this might drive China to achieve global dominance before it needs to redirect its attention inwards.

They scrapped the 1 Child Policy 2016 but it didn't increase the birth-rate, now in May this year it's become one of each plus an extra.

However, they have a issue in that the youth are rapidly becoming westernised, and are likely to opt for wealth over family, I believe Sth Korea has a similar youth problem. The kids are growing up thinking an episode of "Friends" is normal, having a townhouse apartment with a 75" TV to yourself and eating in the café downstairs is what life is meant to be like!

US media are labelling the Delta variant as The Pandemic of the Unvaccinated

In areas with low vaccination rates hospitalisation cases are up this week by as much as 40%, averaging 33% increase in states with less than 50% vaccination. If the Delta variant follows the same trend line of the other variants, US health officials have warned deaths will start rising about 2 to 3 weeks behind the hospitalisations.

In countries with high vaccination rates, places like Israel, the bulk of the rising new cases are coming from groups previously unvaccinated. In Israel's case this is the u16 age group who were previously excluded from getting Pfizer. Now they have lowered the age cut-off to 12.

This is the reality of Delta variant summed up in a picture, because it's infecting young people;

Yep, time to bring in vaccine mandates & vaccine passports. I’ll help to hold down Flyboy so he can get his jab.

Heart breaking to see that picture [member=153]LP[/member] ... how do you comfort that guy in such a scene

Apparently 40% of 0eople hospitalised with covid in the UK are double vaccinated.

Its not the shield people think it is.
