Slow alert level changes show strategy unsustainable – National, ACT

This is opposition solution? Ha, ha, ha ha, ha. Throw caution to wind and go back to trusting luck like India has.

National and ACT have welcomed yesterday’s alert level changes, but say border management strategy under Labour is not sustainable.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said despite the drop in levels, Aucklanders needed to remain vigilant and stay home when sick and get tested, “even if it is just a sniffle or a cough”, and continue to scan or keep a record of where they go.

Face coverings will continue to be mandatory on public transport and are also required on flights going through, to, or from Auckland.

In order for Auckland to move to level 1, it would require the city to maintain its current downward trajectory of cases, Ardern said.

“Essentially Auckland needs more time. Whilst we have reasonable confidence that we are on the right track there is still a need in Auckland for that cautious approach, this was the center of the outbreak and that is why that caution is required here.”

She said if Auckland remained on track, Cabinet would consider moving alert levels from 7 October.

Level 1 guidelines for rest of New Zealand

The rest of the country will move down to alert level 1 from midnight tonight.

Comic Book Cats highlights

In My Not So Humble Opinion

I did 100 entries of The Daily Comic Book Coffee on the Comic Book Historians group at Facebook. I decided to switch things up after that, and began posting Comic Book Cats. Each day I post cat-centric comic book artwork by a different artist.

Comic Book Cats is being archived on First Comics News. But here are 10 highlights from the first 50 entries.

Steve Ditko

Ghostly Tales #85, drawn by Steve Ditko and written by Joe Gill, published by Charlton Comics in April 1971, and Speedball , plotted & penciled by Steve Ditko, inked by Dan Day, scripted by Jo Duffy, lettered by Jack Morelli and colored by Tom Vincent, published by Marvel Comics in June 1989.

Steve Ditko drew a number of stories with cats throughout his lengthy career. Here is artwork from couple of them.

Too Much Of A Bad Thing

yaskhan

I write an antibacterial poem
On an antiseptic page
My pen metaphysical
A library of blue black ink
Fading into sepia of cornucopia
I hold my own hand
Fingers restless 
I clasp, unclasp slowly
In a forgotten time
The smell of sanitizer
Stretches the length of my breath
Mumble of masked words
Mouthed in a wail of release
Fertile eyes turn rubble
In the stillness of silence
Unsure of speech..

Corona is a loner, it would not die for me
But it has put the world on hold
On bated breath that fails to rise
An ancient disease brought into a new-age
Sitting on chests of men , with a violence bringing oblivion of death  
Science has kept us  waiting while the world is on a death-wish.....

Jumblat: Aoun Has No Right to Say We’re Going to Hell

The time for the sectarian government is over – the time is right for non-sectarian government with protections for religious freedom. W140

Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat on Monday voiced criticism in all directions in connection with the ongoing deadlock in the cabinet formation process.

“President Michel Aoun has no right to say that we’re going to hell. I support a settlement and when the storm lashes we must bow,” Jumblat said in an interview with Lebanon’s MTV.

“We have a silent epidemic emerging right now in K-12 schools” (A Covid-19 October Surprise blow up not a vaccine)

Sagg expects that coronavirus infections will rise over the next four weeks. He said the statistic to watch for is the percent positive, which he fears will give rise to an “October surprise.” “Our October surprise that what we’re going to have is an explosive number of adults showing up [positive] because they picked it up from the kids who have been back in school. And I’m very worried about that right now,” he said. “We can’t relax, this virus is here, it’s like a ghost, it’s kind of hanging out. It’s in the area. We can’t see it until we start seeing the cases come up.” Sagg says wearing a mask is a “patriotic duty,” and questioned why President Trump had not been an advocate for mask-wearing. “I don’t want to go into politics, but I will raise the question. I personally do not understand why the president is not just doubling down, but tripling down on the mask-wearing. It doesn’t add up,” he said
