After doing a little digging it appears that because we get paid for the preceeding week on the following Wednesday and this Wednesday is after the reduction date, it doesnt qualify for the full subsidy.
Not complaining, its been very good but a stupid way to finish off as anyone ive spoken to figured last week would be included and has caught many off gaurd.
Now multiply this by the 1.4-1.7 million on job keeper.

Yes, quite a saving by govco when you think about it.
They spruik the 6 months of $750pw subsidies but it looks as though its fallen 1 week short via a well concealed loophole that says all monies owed had to be paid by close of play on the 27th.

Data valid as at 23:58 GMT October 1st, 2020.

Note:
As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting except for the Victorian 14 day moving averages.

18 new cases for Australia and 2 deaths so the CMR rises to 3.277% while active cases drop to 1,424. NSW recorded 3 cases, WA recorded 1 with the balance in Victoria.

The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 16.5 with metro at 12.8 (14 unknown) and regional at 0.2 and no unknown cases. Victoria reported 7 new cases for the last 24 hours.

18 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.353% and active cases rise to 53.

The UK had a slightly lower 6,914 new cases yesterday. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore the CMR but even using their method they had 59 deaths yesterday.

Just under 41k new cases in the USA yesterday and 955 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.843% and active cases drop to 34.1% with the raw numbers falling. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
The USA completes 108M, India 75M, France 11M and Iran 4M tests;
Italy recorded their highest daily total (2,548) since April 24th;
Europe recorded a new daily case high of 68,322 (30/9);

Angola (142), Moldova (1,022), UAE (1,158), Poland (1,967), Czechia (3,484), Iran (3,825), Ukraine (4,069) recorded a new daily high; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive days.

Seems Trump will get his chance to try his remedies now he and Melania both have Cooties-19.

Click-bait feed has a banner saying both positive, but all new stories I can find have both being tested and in quarantine - so not sure which

His own tweeter feed says he tested positive so probably fair to say he's got it

This is a very odd and very un Trump like tweet. For starters he doesn't call it "covid 19". Wouldn't be surprised if someone tweeted it on his behalf.

Maybe Covfefe was a code word.

We are being soften up the potus is already dead. They will claim Covid 19 killed him in an ironic twist. The truth is noivcok delivered on the end of an umbrella by North Korean spies, trying to make it look like Chinese spies, trying to look like Russian spies, did it.

You heard it here first!....

He has some good things/thoughts but his mouth is faster than his brain.
He's not an idiot but often embarrassing, uninformed and divisive.
Probably a ploy to avoid a new debate cos they will turn his mic off next time.

Hydroxychloroquine flunks Phase III trial in mild-to-moderate Covid-19
The study adds to the growing body of evidence that the drug, promoted early in the pandemic by President Trump, is ineffective, despite its getting a briefly renewed lease on life earlier this month thanks to a retrospective analysis.


Thought it wasn't a problem, back peddle or what !

Now that is a breaking news headline when it comes to Trump.

It will be interesting to see how severe his symptoms are and whether it changes his perspective.

Some people have suggested that he doesn't actually have it but is saying he does so that he can show his 'recovery' in a couple weeks, use it as proof as to how mild the disease is even for the elderly. Wouldn't surprise me! Or perhaps he just wants to keep himself locked away so that he doesn't catch it while it's spreading amongst his inner circle, Kim Jong Un-style.

with all due respect, who knows, he is a showman as opposed to a President. Lets just hope he doesn't get too sick and we don't see him on a respirator as karma for his bs

10 days max according to previous White House physician.

Twitter is like a sewer with the animosity towards President Trump, wouldn't have expected anything less from the left.
He'll have the last laugh though.

There are a lot of people who wet themselves and take his comments out of context but **** me dead.

He sounds the same on CNN or FoxNews to me and I watch both.

He has constantly downplayed Covid. And now he has it so like I said let see how crazy it will get.

He is a fat **** and if he gets the Rona bad he is ****ed.
