I notice he's been verified on Twitter now that he's gotten media attention, it'll make him much more prominent on that platform.

Covid-19 is actually a secret plot by the mental health authorities to help them identify the people who urgently need assistance.

323 new cases for Australia and 19 deaths sees the CMR rise to 1.467% although active cases rise to 9,217. NSW recorded 22, Queensland recorded 1 case with the balance in Victoria. The deaths represent another highest daily total since the pandemic began.

No new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.402% and active cases drop to 22.

The UK recorded 816 new cases and -48 deaths after some reclassifications yesterday so the CMR drops to 14.929%.

Just over 50k new cases in the USA yesterday and 540 deaths sees CMR down to 3.184% and active cases at 45.6% with the raw numbers rising. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
The USA completes 66M tests;

Lebanon (295), El Salvador (449), Libya (478), Iraq (3,484) and the Philippines (6,958) all recorded new daily highs, those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

That was all over the news a few days ago.

Only problem is there is a surplus everywhere I go.

Coles is selling them by the box of 50 for $45.

I went to another shopping area and they were scattered everywhere for sale at around $1 each.

That will change as soon as they declare that they are to be worn by law but at the moment no one (especially health care providers that probably have access to stock directly from a supplier) should be saying that they can't get any or there is a limited supply.

What you can buy in the shops is not fit for healthcare workers. They are in an environment which is a whole different ball game. They need N95 or equivalent grade masks, hence why the gov is encouraging the general public NOT to buy those.

Distressing video shows a male Victoria Police officer grabbing a young woman by the throat as he arrests her for apparently failing to wear a mask.

A Victoria Police officer has been filmed grabbing a young woman by the throat and forcing her to the ground she struggles and screams, “He’s choking me!”

The distressing footage of the woman being arrested – apparently for not wearing a face mask – was uploaded to Twitter on Tuesday.

It begins mid-confrontation, as the grey-haired male officer pulls the woman along the street with one hand around her neck.
Arrested for no mask

Deliberate and planned to get some attention. Where's the full video? What was her behaviour like before her friend started filming?? Spitting at and assaulting the male officer not captured on camera?

Been there done that , I may have deserved it, but we don't like 'them' that that think they are the law as opposed to upholding the law (or chief health bla bla)

Again, the cops have a hard task atm, she is ok but maybe she didn't know .. stupid beach

Looks more like he has her by the collar than the throat, at least initially. Still able to talk **** quite fine for someone being choked

It does seem a weird way to perform an arrest however but I'm not a cop.

Nah, that's just what murdocracy wants you to believe. Car traffic has reduced dramatically in the past week. Shopping centre car parks are now 2/3 empty. People are actually complying. Why is there no news about that?

Hopefully we are starting to see some benefits of the lock downs. 2 x low 300 new cases in consecutive days....it should deserve a mention but you don't hear about it....its only "record deaths", "deadliest day"....

Murdocracy relies on fear and outrage to sell their papers. People are addicted to it. Nine Ent Co is the same, albeit to a lesser degree.

"Victoria to face years of restrictions".......Its almost like they are barracking for Victorians to become fed up and just run amok...

I think you're right, should have arrested that inconsiderate potential pandemic spreading individual affecting the whole population easier.
Give the cop...a new mask

Yep, I noticed a pattern of two smaller days, then one huge 6 to 700 one for some time - the last four days have all been lower in the 300s

Ahh ok.

Having said that, I have had to go to the Dr several times in the past few months and they as well as the receptionists were all wearing the cheap surgical type masks they sell at coles.

When I got tested the guy was wearing the masks you buy from Bunnings - 10 for $2...

I bought two of these when we were all on alert. Comfortable and high quality.
Has a disposable carbon filter in the front, the remainder is washable. Please search the best seller.

Good quality disposable:

Given that this may 'extend a while' ....

I wonder if he's using that hold to keep her face as far away as possible, with an assumption that she may be infected and to keep as much distance as possible?

From resuscitation training, there's a couple of parts of the hold that are familiar, including what looks like pistol grip and turning via safe recovery position - though I've got no training in restraint techniques so this is only 2c from the peanut gallery.

For the girl it would be quite terrifying, is wearing a mask when it's been directed all that hard?

Yeh its really hard to tell from looks alone as to what grade they are. When the bush fires kicked off, my folks bought a box of "surgical masks" off ebay. When the pandemic kicked off, I bought some genuine surgical masks through a contact in HK. They both look pretty much the same. But the genuine one is really hard to breath, there is no way I can wear it and do a brisk walk. But the ebay one I can wear it and run no problems.

Thank you for participating in my game - Rogosaurus picked up right away there's two sides to the story

Yes we don't know what happened in the lead up but still, take the higher ground, if he didn't choke her he probably wouldn't be on the news and I imagine his management team are going to be head in hands after this one

That 'lady' had it coming. She actually had an exemption for wearing the mask and rather than just act normal when asked normal questions by the cops she took it upon herself to exercise her God given right to be silent, not provide any personal details and best of all not state that she had an exemption for the mask...

The bloody book should be thrown at her... She also kicked the other officer.

There are probably several charges they should have given her - including assaulting an officer.

30 days in the slammer and $10k fine for these people.

Watch them comply with pleasure when they see a few before them get that.

Victorian MP David Limbrick was asking the CHO about their plan post lockdown - and of course the 'experts' have absolutely no idea on how we proceed afterwards.

Do we stay in lockdown forever? Seems like it
