With all of the protests happening in Oz this weekend we'll no doubt have an increase :ohmy:

Health officials have to believe that the Covid cases are under control and that there is no community spread. This would be backed up by consistent community testing with zero cases recorded. A second wave is likely to begin from a person/s who had contracted the virus (from another who'd already had it earlier before they recovered) and had not isolated or had very few symptoms and were not tested.
Of course if borders are still open and those entering the country are not in quarantined for 2 weeks, then the virus could start again fresh from another source.

Aussie is a bit late, we had ours earlier on this week! I think it's a good thing as long as it's peaceful but definitely tricky with the virus still active in the community!
How's the viral load in QLD?
Re: New Zealand Out of Lockdown ...
Only 1 a tive case at the moment.

Hey that's great news, is that all of Qld (including Brisbane) or just your local area?
Re: New Zealand Out of Lockdown ...
That's all of QLD.
Fingers crossed the protests don't mess it up.

Whilst we're going through the canon of 70's comedic brilliance ... what about Porridge? Along with Fawlty Towers, Monty Python and others of that ilk, I still crease myself with laughter after 40 years. My favourite character was always the 'charmless Scottish nurk' screw Mackay. It wouldn't get commissioned nowadays in our humuorless PC society, but by god was it funny and very well written. Of its time and it struck a chord with the massive public viewing figures.
Porridge was excellent. They rerun them a lot at night. It hasn't lost it even after all these years just as others like Steptoe and Son haven't.
I didn't watch the reboot though.
