556 further deaths to report today but the recording measure was suddenly changed this morning; the cynical might think that was so that the official figure of deaths given (111) doesn’t conflict with the easing of lockdown narrative.
At the press briefing, Peter Pandemic was asked if the Joint Biosecurity Unit exists yet - it’s “in the process of being set up.” So, no it doesn’t exist then, despite us being told a couple of weeks ago it was vital to have it up and running prior to easing lockdown restrictions if we were to prevent a second wave.
He was also unable to give us any figures at all for “our world-class track and trace system”; the slide tracking the R rate had mysteriously disappeared, as had the one showing that we were still at alert level 4 - as in no restrictions should yet be lifted.
But the football will be back soon, and you can go to the beach and have a BBQ.
No wonder governments in this country spend so little on education.
