    How’s the beard going Bumpa?

    oh it’s happening, the ginger is strong with this one and if there is another 4 weeks of growth, it will very likely be quite well beyond disgraceful.

    So far I am pretty happy, although I do catch myself looking at myself in meetings touching my head face a whole lot more than I hope I normally would so I quickly try and make it look like I am pensively and actively being engaged in said meeting.

    Excellent..,mine is coming along nicely…if all goes to shite work wise, I’ll be ready to apply for a job at Christmas as a shopping centre Santa!

    Having seen yours last night and Mads’ on some FB link…you both could donate them to new Santa’s learning the trade?

    Snippet from an email I just received from Keysie is keeping hope alive for my sanity

    Course Re-Opening
    In recent correspondence Daniel Andrews has indicated that he may lift the ban on Golf after the May 11 review. In light of this the club has decided to arrange timesheets for this.
    If golf restrictions are not lifted on 11 May, then Members who have booked to play from May 12 will be informed by email of the cancellation of their booking.

    All members must only proceed to pro-shop/tee or putting green 10 minutes prior to tee-time, no congregation in car park or any other areas of course allowed before or after round.

    Please note that all restrictions and rules will be reviewed constantly and may change without due notice.

    On another note, any of the Vic crew a member of the Dan Andrews Time to Allow Golfers to Play in Vic FB Group?

    As much as I agree with the overarching reason for the Group…..Christ almighty it’s the biggest group of dumkunts I’ve ever seen assembled, and I go to Adelaide a lot.
    Some of the nonsense spouted on there is enough to have them forced in isolation for the terms of their natural lives

    Yeah…I’ve had a look at it….and there are some fairly sub-par intellects in there…and they are more than happy to put forward their proposed solutions, and conspiracy theories.

    I can’t believe the sex machine hasn’t taken control of it, based on that.

    I think they kicked him out

    Golf Australia recommendations which will probably apply to all clubs are for 1 tee start, groups of 2 players, wait in car until 10 minutes before tee off time, social golf only interesting they say (stfd comp is counted as social), no monthly medals.no score cards.

    means half normal field size so members will missing out on a game as time sheet will likely book out in 10 minutes of opening.
    groups pf 2 should be able to get round in under 3hrs so might have some fast rounds.

    certainly going to be interesting golf until around October or November

    Home track has a 3hr 15min time frame for 18 holes with a 5min break at halfway. Vast majority are well within the allocated time frame.
    Comps are all single stab with tee times from 6.30am to 2.00pm each day. Previously it was members only, but as of next week Mon and Wed comps have been opened up to members guest with all the same social distancing rules in place.

    My new phone arrived today and I’ve spent the arvo setting it up.
    God I had a lot of apps !!!!!
    The Aussie COVIDsafe app won’t install: not compatible with Android 10.

    People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
    No championships worth mentioning in recent years.

    11.17 is available on Wednesday at the moment, but don’t now how long that will last. Unfortunately, the members guest thing is only after 11am.. Members only before that.

    Mouldy was such the trendsetter- pre-COVID outbreak and donning this stylish mask!

    He even had the 1.5mtr distancing thing happening.

    With all the new infections in Vic, I wouldn’t be surprised if the rest of Aust asks Trumpie for help with an anti-Mexican wall to keep us out of their territories.

    If, as they say, immunisation is at least a year away, then we will all get this virus at some point.
    Considering how rampantly infectious the virus is and if left to run in the wild, we would soon swamp our medical facilities. Hence the need to flattern the curve so that our requirements for hospitalisation are kept under control.
    So, keeping the infection rate at a gradual pace, the sooner we all get infected and over it (hopefully not dead), the sooner we can all get our lives back in order.

    I wonder how it will all pan out.

    OK, let’s just play a numbers game …

    20% of infected cases require hospital care, around 1/2 of them, so 10% of those infected (young or old) require ICU level care (respirators, high flow oxygen, critical care nursing).

    If as reported we have around 2200 ICU beds in the whole of Australia, and the government and health system can increase that to say 5000 beds. Take out 10% for ‘other illness’ impacts like Stroke, Heart Attack, Car Accident, Worksite Accident etc, we have at best 4500 ICU beds.

    Simple maths means if we get to 45,000 confirmed cases, our ICU is overloaded and serious Triage decisions get made.

    Over 70 with a preexisting health condition of any kind will be first to stop receiving treatment. Then if load still too much for ICU, it will drop to over 65 with any preexisting health issues to no longer receive treatment. If still overloaded, it will be ANYONE with any preexisting condition.

    So, while a ‘herd immunity’ idea might sound like a good idea, the impacts are HUGE.

    Our ONLY chance is to not get near the 45,000 – 50,000 confirmed cases.

    We HAVE to flatten the growth curve. Current effect are not good enough.

    Again, some simple maths … current growth rates of confirmed cases (and yes, still not enough testing, so really way more in the community, plus false negative runs at 20% too) we are around 10% minimum (official growth around 6%, but testing lags and error rates make it an easy 10%) … so, at our current rate, we are in ICU meltdown stages by middle of Winter.

    Follow the timeline through and we do not get out of the lock down phase until October at the earliest.

    Listen to the language used by ScoMo n co … it’s gone from “6 months” to “at least 6 months’ … population is being conditioned. Great ready for a long period of disruption.

    Well, here we are 3 months later.
    It looks like Victoria is going to win the races of health system overload and herd immunity.
    Surely the government steps to slow the progress are helping but we still have a long way to go.
    In 12 months we’ll still be asking the question: will we catch it or will immunisation arrive?
