You are right. More than you can believe...

I’m busy, but I’ll answer asap. You struck a bare nerve with carbonara! Never challenge an Italian about cooking!!!

Carbonari, not carbonara. It's a humorous ambiguity and a serious one.

I am afraid Surpmil we have learned a few things from history we have got killing each other down to a fine art from a single person at longrange or the whole planet if they ever start throwing Nukes around.
Or perhaps a virus to create a new world order.

What we have lost from history is to extend the hand in friendship in an unquestioning way, sadly we too the Antipodeans have lost that spirit the Australia of old is long gone I am so glad I spent so long on the land and roustabouting for my Uncles shearing team.

Funny you should mention it as I was thinking after about that comment along the lines that the evil seem to learn the lessons quite well and their masks and methods become more effective with every passing century. It is the hopeful or hopeless herd who fail to learn, aside from the odd the contrarian here and there, or the Solzhenitsyns who escape some Brave New World and come back to try and warn.

You might as well tell us how things have changed there; it's off-topic here for a reason.

Besides, the young people o' today won't believe you anyway. [Pythons ]

I hoped I had pictures to explain the carbonara, but I don’t.
I’ll have to make it in the coming days and explain it, because it is a real specialty, but it is very often massacred, also in Italy.
Today, as expected, we had the confirmation that “all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others”.
Like I said last time, our commies just wen on the roads in some cities, among them Rome, and freely paraded, without the police moving a finger.
Had a priest held mass with more than the so called “acolytes” (happened last Sunday), the public force would have intervened, identified and fined everybody.
Lately I find that being an illegal immigrant or a commie would be a good way for living as usual, without limitations. I can’t become an illegal immigrant, but it would take a moment to wear a red scarf and play idiot...
I’ll sleep on it and see tomorrow.

I thought about that for a millisecond, but deemed it not likely.
Not many people, even here, know what the carboneria was. But in fact I could not place the carbonara
Thanks, that was really well played and I missed it like a rookie.

Not many people would understand the old bushies and that particular lifstyle as well thats part of my and our countries history bit like me asking you to explain your woodsman or the back blocks of Louisiana unless you've lived it it will go straight through to the keeper.

1 new case of Cov-19 Saturday in Perth so the lock down continues also a family was dobbed in by a neighbor in Perth for holding a birthday party (Dumb MFKRS) so the Police rocked up and handed out a total of $26,000 in fines to those gathered there.

Could always say your impersonating the Red Baron Ovidio or looking for a black & white dog flying a dog kennel hmmm better not say that you might end up in the funny farm!!!!!

Around here the isolation was not great enough or long enough to really develop that strong a regional culture. Also geographic distance and the westward progression of settlement. Not as cohesive an initial identity/mythology either, and McCulture is now a universal problem.

We have just been partially released.
From midnight we’ll not be restricted to 500 metres from home anymore.
We just have to stay within the boundaries of our community.
In my case it is not bad, since the place is very big. Just few people, but a big area.
I took a bite at freedom today with my wife.
There is a new road being built 300 metres from home, and today we found out that behind the bridge crossing our road, there is a great new bicycle road that leads directly into the vineyards... So we broke loose and walked 8 km.
I didn’t feel so good at breaking rules since I was a teenager.
But it was just a very minor “misdemeanor”. In the middle of nowhere, with nobody around, we could not infect anyone.
Still, I’m glad I did it.
Now, our PM just talked to the nation, but since I consider him an idiot, I’ll read on the papers what he said.
My stomach is more important to me than his words.
Very few dead today, compared to the last one and a half months. Around 250 if I’m not wrong. But more infected, which is bad.
Less ICU or hospitalized cases, anyway.
Tomorrow I’ll know more about the re-start policy of our government. Let’s see...

P.S. Any news about rocket man?

West Au has upped the No. of people groups to 10 with social distancing of 1.5 meters, fishing, hiking, exercising groups is allowed still take aways only still, no eateries opened for sit downs our boarder is still closed and regional travel is still restricted to essential services only so we are still going up the hill its just a bit flatter.

Our Ducatis are out and there is a group of us going for a burn to clear the cob webs not really my bikes have never sparkled so much well just a little bit more as if you see a well kept bike then the owner you can be assured looks after it well.

Hang in there guys I still see that the 3 main players are suffering badly especially the USA with the Brits and Italy being burned.

Well they said a group of specialist Dr's has gone to N.Korea from China and his presedential train has been spotted moved into the leaders station could be interesting if he does cark it as there is no successor meaning there could be factional wars going on.

People here are starting to wonder if we've been doing all this for nothing. And I admittedly am one of them. Don't get me wrong, I think some measures needed to be taken but shutdowns for this long went way too far. Our goals from the beginning were to prevent our health care system from being overwhelmed. Believe it nor not, that did not even occur in New York city, the heaviest and hardest hit area in the nation. We kept seeing stories of health care workers being over worked, etc yet the makeshift hospitals they set up all over New York were never used. The hospital ship sent to New York harbor had a total of 29 patients and they were not Covid patients. It will be leaving New York soon if it has not already done so. Here in PA, the at the highest point we still had 70% of capacity to go.

The numbers of deaths are being called into question as well. We haven't been being told who it is that is dying. Today I learned that in our county, not a single person under the age of 50 died. four died between 50-59, thirteen between 60-69, twenty-two between 70-79, fifty-nine between 80-89, and forty-seven over 90. How many of these older people died because of Covid-19 and how many died because of something else and had Covid-19. Old age does kill people yet it's never listed as a cause of death.

If these numbers are consistent nation wide and there's no real reason to think they are not, we will have a problem when the truth gets out.

And now many states including my own have a long drawn out process for opening up. Several are just opening up without many restrictions so we'll have those to watch. It's going to be interesting.

[Ovidio]

We're opening up, but just a tad.
I could go see my parents 500 km from here, but if I had a girlfriend 15 km from here, I would not be allowed to go.
I can go on the subway, but not to church.
I can go to my office, but not on the beach...
Logic has died of a violent death...
I also fear she's been raped too.

Because Uncle Sugar will pay a hospital for a COVID death.

Pass away form cancer, car wreck, or anything thing else....

I was just talking with my daughter and I had mentioned only 4 people under the age of 60 had died from this in our county. She said that her friends dad must have been one of them. I asked if she knew if he was overweight or diabetic and she said she did not think he was but he had been in an accident and had internal bleeding. He went to the hospital, complained of having breathing difficulties, they examined him but didn't find anything and sent him home. At some point he returned to the hospital and died and was diagnosed with Covid-19 and at that time found to have internal bleeding from the accident. Obvious question is did he die of internal bleeding from an accident or from Covid-19. The family says Covid-19.
