Australia has isolated the state of Victoria in a bid to contain the worsening spread of the coronavirus as the city of Melbourne prepared for its second lockdown, an example of a resurgent disease in places that initially succeeded in taming it.

Police officers and healthcare workers are stationed outside a public housing tower that is locked down as a Coronavirus hotspot in Melbourne, Australia, Wednesday, July 8, 2020. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison says a shutdown of the nation's second-largest city is necessary and promised continuing financial support for businesses that fear they won't survive a second lockdown.

In Serbia, chaos erupted as thousands of protesters fought running battles with police and tried to storm the parliament building in Belgrade on Tuesday after the president announced that a coronavirus lockdown will be reintroduced in the Balkan country.President Aleksandar Vucic called the virus situation in Belgrade “alarming” and “critical” as the city’s hospitals neared their capacity limits after health officials reported the highest single-day death toll of 13 amid 299 new COVID-19 cases.

Pakistan’s daily infection rate dropped below 3,000 for the second straight day. Medical professionals are urging caution, noting testing has been cut by almost one third. Still some experts, particularly in the eastern city of Lahore, the capital of Pakistan’s Punjab province where nearly 60% of the country’s 220 million people live, are suggesting the virus may have peaked in June.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the entire nation was behind Melbourne as it locked down for six weeks from Wednesday night. Other states have warned that people from Victoria would be turned back or be forced to spend two weeks in quarantine on arrival. Air Commodore Darryn Webb, the head of managed isolation and quarantine, said the 32-year-old man escaped through a fence at the Stamford Plaza hotel and was gone for just over an hour before returning.

Yeah, it’s not going away. It will never go away. It’s a new virus from the same family as the common cold. It will always be with us. These lockdowns only serve to lessen strain in ICUs. Eventually, we all get it. Maybe we just open up and get it over with.

I live here, its because barely anyone wore masks and were in cafe's and bars and restaurants and not taking it seriously.

But hey, let’s use a report from April claiming it’s okay to send our kids back to school in person

French central bank sees full rebound in GDP in wake of virus lockdownThe French economy is on course to bounce back this quarter as much as it probably slumped in the previous three months, the central bank estimated on Monday, saying it might need to revise up its 2020 forecast. Less pensioners ? Our “fed” pumped trillions of dollars into lending institutions. I don’t think that they will be made whole anytime soon. Good for France though. I do wonder why there is not an EU central bank as they are a common wealth. There’s probably more to this story. I've always said the French drink entirely too much. Although I will confess I used to admire that trait.
