22.01.2022 Hello to all of our wonderful Fyreflies. What a rough time it has been for all. I hope you and your loved ones have remained safe and secure. We are about to relaunch our first dinner/ shows this week. They will begin in the fourth week of July and we will be fully respecting the COVID safe guidelines.

We and the artists will really need your support so please keep checking back to choose a show or two to come along to.

22.01.2022 Book of Life Blow the horn blow the horn Give a voice to all the mournful souls who search to be reborn tonight Forgiveness like the sharpest knife ... Oh G-d inscribe me in the Book of Life I’ve been hungry since before the dawn Everybody’s empty but it’s not for food Everybody’s praying here to be rescued Examining our sins it’s hard not to conclude We’re screwed The worlds in flames these maddened days of black and white No shades of grey to keep at bay the darkest night There’s never been a song that could save a life Blow the horn blow the horn.... Tired and full of uncried tears I still can’t shed Stored up with the unsaid things we never said You wanted forgiveness I wasn’t ready yet Now you’re dead For all the souls who lost themselves I sing for you Apart from that there’s nothing more that I can do And though I know it’s useless it kind of helps me through Blow the horn blow the horn.... I want to see my children out in the world Grown into women from little girls Why didn’t you want that too? The older you get the more friends you lose Next year I won’t disappear in fire or flood Next year I’ll still be here to do some good I won’t be taken by pills or thrills or wine I should be doing fine Blow the horn blow the horn....

22.01.2022 Phil is streaming from Friday Night @ Home tonight but I thought we would share over here too. You know the drill and if you can afford to pay something for your ticket we would certainly appreciate it BSB 033-055 ACC: 223253 Or https://paypal.me/philpara

22.01.2022 The Fyrefly features in the first episode of this new show. Mark Seymour and the Undertow recorded in our beautiful room last weekend. Brilliant to have some local live music back on TV. Watch on ABC at 5:30 on Sunday

22.01.2022 Long post but well worth the read, on first review the producer and I really think this could be the smartest solution of all that has been presented regarding ...the current COVID situation. Its not a conspiracy theory in fact quite the opposite, just a logical, scientific solution being offered up about emerging from lockdown and getting the economy moving whilst still lowering numbers. This one is being developed in Israel and with Australian numbers being so low it could be perfect for us. Love to hear some intelligent discussion in comments. The biggest worry as we start emerging from isolation in the Covid-19 pandemic: How do we return to schools and businesses without triggering a fresh outbreak? In many ways, this is a numbers game. In Israel, were seeing some strong reentry strategies coming from mathematicians. Their recommendations arent only for their home country. built around the three-day window between the time a person becomes infected with the novel coronavirus and the time that person can infect others. People would go to work or school for four days a week every two weeks, followed by 10 days of home lockdown. Ideally, the population would be split into two groups alternating weeks, with children and parents going to work and school on the same four days. Models we created at the Weizmann Institute in Israel predict that this two-week 10-4 cycle could suppress the epidemic while allowing sustainable economic activity, they explain. Intermittent lockdown In late March, Weizmanns Alon first proposed the intermittent lockdown idea. Think of dieting. You can fast for two months and lose weight, but you will probably die. Even if you survive, you will quickly gain weight again. Similarly, a two-month lockdown will suppress the coronavirus, but it will kill the economy. Lockdown will push hundreds of millions of people globally into unemployment and poverty, Alon said. At the end of each lockdown, remaining patients will cause a resurge in the epidemic, forcing another lockdown. This is the well-known yo-yo effect, with the number of coronavirus patients going up and down. At the same time, the global economy will be hit hard and hundreds of millions will go hungry. When the dust settles, more people will have died of hunger than of the coronavirus. An epidemiological model developed by Alon with graduate students Omer Karin and Yael Korem-Kohanim and senior engineer Boaz Dudovich suggested five days of lockdown and two days of work every week or even better, a four-day work/10-day lockdown cycle. In this way, the number of people infected by each infectious person drops below one the magic number that causes the epidemic to decline, he said. Alon suggested that the intermittent lockdown continue until the epidemic is contained through sufficient testing, effective treatment or a vaccine. Our main message is to open up the discussion on lockdown and point out that a well-designed smart lockdown strategy can suppress the epidemic and sustain the economy. Click here to read a paper by Alon and colleagues from Weizmann, Tel Aviv University and Ben-Gurion University. Invisible spreaders Alternating lockdowns also are championed by Bar-Ilan University Prof. Baruch Barzel, principal investigator of the universitys Data Science Institute and Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center. The Barzel labs mathematical model calls for the general population to be split into two groups. Each group would alternate between lockdown and routine activity in weekly succession. He says the combination of isolating virus spreaders and keeping up protective behaviors can help defeat the virus while sustaining socio-economic activity at a 50% level. The main advantage of this strategy is that it isolates not just the sick, but also the majority of presymptomatic or asymptomatic invisible spreaders. Barzel explained: Consider an individual who became infected during their active week. They are now in their pre-symptomatic period the most dangerous stage, in which they are invisible spreaders. According to the alternating lockdown routine, they are now scheduled to enter their lockdown phase. During their week at home, he reasons, invisible spreaders will most likely begin to exhibit symptoms and remain in isolation until full recovery. If following a week of lockdown they show no symptoms, they are most likely uninfected and can partake in social and professional activities during their active week. The Bar-Ilan simulation suggests that if the proportion of defectors people who continue to be active during their lockdown phase or who hold essential positions and cannot be under lockdown is kept at under 30%, viral spread could still be overcome. Easy to enforce? Milo says a cyclical work-lockdown strategy is equitable, easy to understand and easy to enforce as part of a comprehensive exit strategy. He suggests that countries try an alternating lockdown strategy as a pilot on a small scale in limited regions for a defined period of time say, a month and then reassess. We are in touch for example with officials in Peru who are interested in performing such a pilot study, he tells ISRAEL21c. If infection rates grow, it can be adjusted to fewer workdays. Conversely, if things are going well, additional workdays can be added. In certain scenarios, only four or five lockdown days in each two-week cycle could still prevent resurgence. While it will be difficult to do for very long, the alternative of going back to full lockdown for an unknown length of time might be much worse. Milo recently headed a project to organize the flood of coronavirus information in an orderly framework. He worked with Weizmann grad student Yinon Bar-On and US colleagues from Caltech and Berkeley. After consolidating hundreds of findings about SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19, the foursome revealed that the virus is 96% identical to a coronavirus genome that infects bats, 91% identical to a coronavirus genome that infects scaly anteaters (pangolins), 80% identical to the SARS virus, 55% identical to the MERS virus and 50% identical to the coronavirus that causes common colds. They also uncovered some good news: The viruss mutation accumulation rate is relatively slow compared to influenza viruses. Milo said hes cautiously optimistic that drugs and vaccines developed against Covid-19 will therefore prove durable in curbing outbreaks.

08.01.2022 Hey Fyreflies! An interesting article regarding the importance of listening to new music as well as returning to the comfort of familiar tunes during times of social change. Hope you are all safe & well <3

08.01.2022 To help keep the music industry afloat and supply some income for artists in these crazy times we are putting together an ongoing series of concerts for that wi...ll practice safe physical distancing. Utilising properties that have enough room to park some cars and set up a band or solo artist with a small PA. Guests are required to stay in their cars. This will benefit our musicians and allow people to get out of the house and not feel so isolated during these times. We already have some private properties on board around Victoria but if you would like to host an event and can park a minimum of 20 cars please message us. If you are a band that would like to get on board message us. These concerts can be open to the public or simply held for your own friends. More details soon See more
