NZ has recorded it's first case in the community in over two months. 56 year old woman returning from Europe did the 14 day hotel quarantine, tested negative twice while in quarantine, was released from quarantine 13th Jan. 15th Jan she developed symptoms. 22nd Jan tested positive.
Why did she wait a whole week after developing symptoms before getting tested?? Stupid. NZ authorities are now tracing back upto 30 venues the woman visited while being infectious. They also suspect she has the UK variant. This again raises the question of if 14 day quarantine is long enough. It has proven to be not enough in several cases so far. Some countries have moved to 21 days quarantine. https://www.forbes.com/sites/william...h=a17abdc721e9 Also, another report saying she may have caught the virus in her last few days of hotel quarantine from another positive case staying at the same hotel (Auckland's Pullman Hotel). There were at least 13 guests staying at the hotel at the same time as the woman who had tested positive.Do they not separate the negative cases and positive cases in different hotels?

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT January 24th, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 4 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.160%.. 7 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.095% and active cases 79. The UK had 30,552 cases yesterday and 610 deaths. Just over 173.5k new cases in the USA yesterday and 3,438 deaths sees CMR up to 1.673%. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: (weekend reporting) Europe passes 29M cases; South America passes 400k deaths; Only - UAE (3,579) ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

Good to see TGA approval for the Pfizer vaccine and looks like contact tracing has worked well in getting the outbreak under control. Only about 100 cases at the moment.

According to an article on Aunty, some Chinese are being tested for coronavirus both with nasal and anal swabs.
I really hope they go up the nose first! |

I think Australia only has one LGA left that is defined as a "red" zone. Somehow a group of "tourists" from this red zone got into Parliament house for a tour. Interesting the article doesn't mention how many people, and who may have known or who was the guide
This a week before Parliament is supposed to resume....maybe take another 6 months off. Tourists potentially from Sydney COVID-19 hotspot visited Canberra https://www.canberratimes.com.au/sto...-restrictions/ Quote:

Now Queensland has said anyone in Australia can visit. Genuinely, really pleasing to read this.
Although, I’m not going to be the only person distrustful of state governments snapping borders shut at a moment’s notice (or less!). I remain hopeful of longer term implementation of uniform criteria and policies, and life without the Soviet-style internal travel permits certain states are fostering. (Supermarket rationing, travel restrictions, demonstrations outlawed; who actually won the Cold War?) |

Covid Performance Index
https://interactives.lowyinstitute.o...d-performance/ NZ ranked 1. Aus came in at 8th, surprisingly. The ranking takes into account of testing regimes, so the "if you don't test you don't get cases" have been taken into consideration. The most surprising was Rwanda, came in at 6th. |

A lot has been made about the efficacy about the AZ vaccine but realistically it is better than nothing and we can make our own. If supply is an issue then really doesn't matter if other vaccines are better. We have 0% efficacy if no Aussie is getting vaccinated because we don't have it |

I’ll wait for the Premcar version of the vaccine. It should be better than OEM.
Been wondering how much coin would be required to persuade the slackers and anti’s to get on board? Seven days of drive through Macca’s vouchers, $50 in the mitt or three points’ credit on your licence? |

The Pfizer and Moderna numbers are a bit special. Never ever has the world seen a vaccine for corona viruses, yet in less than 12 months, two come out with 90% efficacy. Anyhow, there is nothing we average joes/janes can do except trust that the TGA experts have our best interest at heart. |

My mate’s in-laws have had their first dose of vaccine in the UK, it’s apparently a twelve week wait for the top-up. They are keen to leave the country!
In Sydney it’s been interesting to compare retail yesterday and today vis-à-vis the mask rules. Woolies felt more upbeat, many patrons wore masks still and there was much use of the sanitiser. The local Lebanese grocery was very much “masks off” and Petbarn - despite having a mask directive on the door - welcomed me as the only mask wearer. QR code check-ins? Pffft! I’m absolutely not a fan of masks and QR, but for at least a few more days I’ll probably go this way in public/retail spaces. The way I see it, NSW’s government has returned responsibility to the individual; in return for no longer being nannied I’m happy to step up. |
