Yes laughs are very welcome thanks!

Things are gearing up here and infections and hospitalizations and deaths are all up (the last 2 less steeply). Running between 43,000 - 50,000 daily infections, deaths were 233 yesterday.

I think there's denial around because people say it's just we test more, identify more etc but that sounds tenuous to me. Government are saying no contingency plans (yet!) I'm just anticipating this escalating further and then punitive lockdowns put upon us because we're past the early intervention stage, it's how it's been every wave so far.

I don't even have the energy to be angry any more.
