What a pity we needed a round 18.
My guess the last will be 27.

If we reach thread 21, then we all have to get drunk and make embarrassing speeches about what Covid got up to at school.

It’s about now I shouldn’t remind everyone the life expectancy in Australia is 82.90 years
That’s unfortunate. I usually see that many Greek flags at the Aus Open.

It’s going to be like an 18th birthday.
Starts with so much promise, everyone is going to have the best time ever.
However it ends up being really messy, with a lot of fighting, and some of your friends end the night in hospital.

Apparently a child under 10 has died from Covid today.
A child under 10 has become Australia’s youngest person to die with Covid-19, authorities have confirmed.
The child was listed among the five people who died from the virus in Victoria on Friday.
The Department of Health did not specify the child’s age other than they were aged under 10.
It was also noted the child had “serious comorbidities”.
Previously, the youngest Australian to die with the virus was a 15-year-old teenager from Sydney.
Butterfly ward at RCH maybe?
Covid death recording = Died with Covid.

Victoria had previously recorded a death in the 10-19 age group, with journos referring to injuries. - think that one is subject a coronial Inquiry
There was an article last week (I think) with someone at Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine discussing along these lines, will need to find it.
