Stab at Warra yesterday.
Crap round, a few wipes, 12 out, 12 back, total 24 points.With all those infectious city members banned from attending, we’ll have small fields until spring, provided normality returns then.
whoo hoo you actually have a chance to win now!;)
Not the way I’ve been playing.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Mads, we’re in carts next weekend aren’t we?
I am just deciding what to wear and to make the point that we will be in carts and that I am going to win the crownGood luck with that Bumpy.

After having lost 6 or more weeks of the best weather of the year to play golf ( thanks Dan Andrews) our course is now soggy and wet.
Both my pairs of golf shoes are currently drying in the back enclosed veranda.I was looking for some more water proof/ resistant golf shoes, then I thought of my snow boots. They should be ideal for the next months of golf. We are not going skiing this year anyway. My feet might be a bit too warm, but dry at least and I can hose the muck off them.
You’re only worried about a bit of footrot. Most courses around here disallow carts and ride-ons half the bloody time.
But at least we can play normal foursome golf, when we’re allowed on. And we can have a few beers afterwards.We’ll remember all our country members, from the infected city, when they’ll be back in spring (maybe).

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.How’s that going to work….now the boarders are closed between NSW & Vic? 😉
And we are going to have to get smuggled out of our poisonous postcodes, to go and play golf in the bush.(if golf is still allowed that is.)
You’re allowed to exercise within the prison confines. So you can zip down to Langy which is in Cardinia.
Error: the Lang Lang golf course is just outside the shire, immediately off the south east corner. But you might get away with it. Depends on where they put the checkpoint.
As I’m an outsider, I can go there, provided I go through Nyora.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Stab at Warra again today.
Driver mis-behaved on too many holes but I managed to recover adequately on most.
36 points – the best I’ve done since the lock down.Looks like you will still be able to play at “Warra”,but not be able to enter into a “poisonous area” and play at the home of golf.
The Olinda committee are proposing to use zoom for our AGM in a few weeks.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.Maybe us Melbourne players have to avoid the border police and dig a tunnel under the Murray and have a great escape to play golf in the clean virus free zone.
It’s not just the border, they are supposedly going to encircle Melb. We’d need another 50,000 coppers to do that.

sure, cannot force international travellers to get tested…
Not sure about other states, but pretty sure anyone coming into NSW on an international flight has to go into mandatory hotel quarantine for 2 weeks where they are tested upon entry and again prior to be released. You refuse the testing… you stay for another 10 days AT YOUR EXPENSE. Maybe Vic should have adopted something similar.
They did (the 10 extra day thing).
Legally, cannot charge for incarceration.Yeah got that part wrong.. It was what the NSW Health Minister wanted to do under the Public Health Orders but couldn’t. Never mind, the majority in all States are doing the right thing, but you will always get those that for whatever reason don’t want to fall into line with the rest of community expectation. So a very small minority have now screwed over their entire State.
Not the entire state. Those of us outside greater Melb can still live normally.
Unfortunately, all my family are in the danger zone, not that they visit regularly anyway.People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.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.We have 2 new Android phones and they are both compatible. turn off Wifi and try again. there are a couple of tricky little things that can interfere. I was getting the same thing when using WiFi. as soon as I turned it off I got through.
I reported the problem and, after a few weeks, they acknowledged it as a ‘known problem’.
I tried again a few weeks later, after they’d updated the app, and it installed ok. But it crashed the phone – complete lockup. After a few of those, I uninstalled it and no more crashes.As for wifi, no problem. Mine’s android, not iphone.

Progress is man's ability to complicate simplicity.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?People say that nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.
