Jan assisted me move her new blanket box into the spare bedroom this morning.
81 homes now lost to the bushfire. The large bomber aircraft (2 x Boeing 737 and 1 x C130 Hercules) played a major role in saving many homes yesterday evening when they created retardant lines in front of the fire. The wind has picked up and again changed direction. Fortunately not in our direction. The remains of the cyclone up north are gradually making their way south down the coast and should arrive this weekend. Unfortunately it will mean more wind, but hopefully 100mm of needed rain.
Still only one COVID case (the security guard) which means restrictions will start to ease at 6pm on Friday after five days of lockdown. Latest update is the ‘Stay at Home’ restriction is to be lifted but masks will remain mandatory when in public.

At least you've got a Government that is more interested in the health of its population. Unlike the capitalists in charge in the UK, 1 year into the pandemic, 90 days after the South African variant was identified in England and they finally announce that in 10 days' time they will finally introduce compulsory quarantine for people coming into the country. That's why we had 20,634 cases yesterday and you only had 1.
Different strategies john.
UK strategy is to keep the economy going whilst attempting to ensure the pandemic doesn't overwhelm the NHS. A certain left of infection and fatalities is acceptable.
Australian strategy at Federal level is slightly similar but at State government level the strategy is elimination.
