ANZAC Day is not a bloody holiday as far as I am concerned, it's a day of solemn remembrance. And as far as the last post at 6am - well TBH, I'd rather see the candle type thing than something like that butchered. Also it's not like it can be played at 6am on the Monday. 25th April is the date whether it falls on a weekday or a weekend. Otherwise we may as well have stuck with November 11th and not had the day off.

Backing up NTA's stats I find the Australian government's daily infographic useful.
Last two days:
So a whole 13 new cases in the whole of Straya.
Nothing in WA, SA, NT or QLD.
A reminder if you want you can download the original pdf here ...

@NTA @Kiap Thanks for the heads up (ps. Like "embiggen", use of this word should be encouraged).
So NZ and QLD have essentially the same curve for essentially the same population. But somewhat different restrictions. Not sure where Qld is at, but it isn't level 4.

@SynicBast don't like day's off huh? No empathy for a day from work? No upside to people incentivised to have happy thoughts relating to our soldiers? Can t combine solemn remembrance with a day to spend with loved ones?😉
sorry should have made it clear. 25th April is a day of solemn remembrance only for me personally and is the date i observe it. I have no problem with people getting the monday off if ANZAC Day falls on a saturday or sunday. But there have been calls to have the actual commemorative services and observance done on the monday in those cases which i do not agree with.

I think there was enough push back to 'Mondayising' ANZAC Day that I think they would cause an uproar if they tried to change the actual day of rememberence to make it a week day!

And to bring things back on topic, what an inadvertent indicator of the difference between the ANZAC countries.
One is moaning because they want a day off work, and one is desperate to get back to work!🙂
I have seen the Bludgers and it ain't Us.

I think it's actually impossible to catch covid19 in cairns now

Over 75% of confirmed cases in Australia have now recovered. Only 45 in ICU across the country.

The Qld Teashers Union does not want kids back at school for the whole term
The state is still locked down
What the fuck is going on here?

@NTA said in Coronavirus - Australia:
Known new cases are in single figures now - some states recording zero new cases. We're nearly 2 weeks post-easter and that has to count for something.
Do you count 'probable cases' in Oz?
Here they are people that reported symptoms and have a connection to a positive test but tested negative themselves.

I don't think they are on the site i'm using for data.
