COVID-19: Early Childhood Education and Care Relief Package The Australian Government has announced a new Early Childhood Education and Care Relief Package, aimed at supporting services to remain open to ensure quality early childhood education and care continues to be available to essential workers and disadvantaged and vulnerable children and families. From Monday 6 April 2020 weekly payments will be made directly to early childhood education and care services in lieu of the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and the Additional Child Care Subsidy. Early childhood education and child care services do not need to apply for the payments, they will be paid automatically. Families will not be charged fees during this time. Payments will be based on 50 per cent of services’ fee revenue or the existing hourly rate cap, whichever is lower, based on the fortnight before 2 March 2020. Importantly, this measure will complement the Australian Government’s JobKeeper Payment. ...

COVID 19- The curve has turned slightly in Australia; Is it enough? – By Raj Gonsalkorale Since case numbers were reported by the Federal Health Department last week, the curve that the writer alluded to in the previous article that was published in eLanka on the 25th March and again on Sunday 29th March, this week’s data so far shows a slight change that could be indicative of a much awaited flattening of the curve. This data is from the Health.gov.au website and is available to anyone accessing it, so the intention here is not to repeat what is already there, but to reinforce the need to comply with all the health and governments directives and advice, so that the curve can well and truly flatten and decline. ...

COVID 19; Flattening the curve has not worked in Australia By Raj Gonsalkorale Despite many measures taken in Australia, the aggregate number of positive cases is rising exponentially and not showing any sign of flattening. The daily number of positive cases is rising by around 25% and the total number as of the 25th morning was 2136. If this rate of increase persists, the number affected will rise to over 10,000 by the 31st March, and very frighteningly, to over 8 million by the 30th of April. This is the cumulative effect of an exponential increase. The graph below shows how this increase is happening now in Australia Containment of the COVID 19 virus is only possible if the rate of daily increase in positive cases can be reduced, and the curve that is reaching for the skies is flattened. This is what the medical experts say, and this ...

“ESPECIALLY FOR YOU” – By Des Kelly The above “slogan” is one that I have been featuring on Facebook for a while now. To go with this little saying, I take pleasure in providing “especially for you”, my friends, carefully picked versions of what I think is the BEST Music & songs that have been recorded over the years, going back to the 1920’s. This was even before my time, yet, there were some lovely songs that my dear Dad used to sing, and he was born in 1910. Now, especially for you, my many readers of eLanka, I am very happy to bring you some breathtaking floral beauty, and the thoughtful wisdom of a little child simply to brighten up your day, and erase, even for a while, the growing anxiety of this “Covid 19” Virus that has taken over, on this ...
