Melbourne remains trapped in a state of limbo as its COVID-wary population eases itself out of months of isolation.  Tuesday marked the first time since February 29 — 269 days ago — that Victoria has not had a single active case of the dreaded virus.  If Melburnians plan to celebrate the milestone, which comes after 25 consecutive days of zero infections, they are doing it at home. Melbourne Town Hall is dressed up for Christmas festivities, but it remains to be seen if anyone will celebrate in town with it  Much of Melbourne remains boarded up - a grim reminder of the city's brutal lockdown Flinders Street Station is hardly a hive of activity despite the lifting of the most severe restrictions It is hardly surprising that the CBD has not instantly bounced back to life over the past couple of weeks.  A walk around town remains largely depressing, with once familiar cafes, shops and watering holes now boarded shut.  The court district - once a thriving beacon of life - continues to

Video has begun recirculating on Twitter of the 2018 presidential turkey pardoning  ceremony, when President Trump joked that which bird to cull was decided by the popular vote, but one had refused to concede. The entire ceremony was filled with tongue-in-cheek jokes about vote counting, recounts, subpoenas and judicial power, something when revisited in 2020 looks all too familiar. Although both turkeys were being pardoned, Trump declared Peas the winner of a White House poll that asked the public to pick their favorite turkey to pardon.   'The winner of this vote was decided by a fair and open election conducted on the White House website. This was a fair election. Unfortunately Carrots refused to concede and demanded a recount and we are still fighting with Carrots.  'We have come to a conclusion. Carrots, I'm sorry to tell you the result did not change. Too bad for Carrots,' Trump said. Two years ago President Trump pardoned turkeys 'Peas' and 'Carrots
