    Early data on that. Australia had 440 deaths due to Flu last year, this year to date it is 40. The measures that defeat COVID-19 also defeat the flu.

    News Technic Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey cancelled?

    The consensus seems to be that if it wasn't officially licensed by Bell as a V-22, it probably would have passed (It has worked before). So it is an expensive license no matter what they paid for it.

    Drama in the 2020H2 Lego Technic set releases. https://brickset.com/article/52679/technic-bell-boeing-v-22-osprey-cancelled I'd expect this will hit the news in the next couple of days.

    Knighthoods have fallen from favor (cost a PM his job 7 years ago), but Order of Australia etc are still conferred upon worthy people. Australian of the Year is the top honor. Wealth or celebrity status is unlikely to help you earn one of these. ---------- Post added at 09:01 PM...

    Good to see them back. F3 Race 1 had 2 Aussies on the podium including the one that crashed at Monza. Also includes David Schumacher (Rolf's Son) and Jake Doohan (Mick Doohan's Son). Also on Schumacher news, Mick Schumacher does have his Super License.

    Melbourne Victoria is now back on level 3 restrictions after a spike in cases. Masks are not required yet, but they have left themselves open to it. I would imagine compliance would be low in some areas.

    News COVID-19 pandemic

    Most states in Oz have had no local transmission for a number of days (or the odd one) However there is now a significant outbreak in Victoria. There have been 20-40 cases everyday for the past week. Hopefully it drops soon, but might require the reintroduction of restrictions. I'd imagine that...

    We have around 5 million downloads out of 25 million people. So far the app has not picked up any contacts that the manual contact tracing didn't find. That said, we have the first case that went to the protests so that is an interesting line of data.

    When the grass grows? Between late Sep and March (if there is rain), you can mow it in the morning and it will need to be mowed again in the afternoon. Luckily the rain part can be patchy at times.

    News 2020 Formula 1 Grand Prix.

    I can't see anything happening before August. The problem is even if there is no lockdown, international transit is difficult and there would almost certainly be no spectators. Supercars is tentative for a restart in early July. This seems plausible for now. It is unknown if I will be able to...
