Data valid as at 00:00 GMT April 3rd, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 8 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.098%. No new case and 0 deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.040% and active cases 67. The UK had a higher 3,423 cases yesterday and 10 deaths. That's the 8th consecutive day under 5k cases. Just over 72k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,097 deaths sees CMR at 1.813%. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: (weekend reporting) Global cases pass 131M, the last 1M in 2 days; Asia passes 29M cases; Canada passes 1M cases; Russia passes 100k deaths (officially); Bahrain (1,316); Venezuela (1,607); Kazakhstan (2,144);Ukraine (20,341); and Turkey (44,756) - for the 5th consecutive day ... recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. No countries move above the 90th percentile for their 10 day average and none drop below.

We may be raising the bat on 1m vacs this week.
If at the end of April we are not tracking up that will be a hard one to spin now with local production. Supply shouldn't be an issue like it has been before. |

My sis and bro in law, in the states, will be taking the pfizer tomorrow. Its not their turn yet, but they can skip the queue if they drive 2.5hrs to a site that will "take anyone". Apparently there are lots of pfizer vaccines allocated but unused in "Trump territories"
Also heard Florida passed legislation to ban vaccine passports. Interesting. |

I recall I was reading over there that they just want people to turn up so they don't go to waste. I'm not sure they even have a phased approach like we do.

I didn't think they had a phased approach either, but it looks like they do. Maybe its different in each state. |

Yes it's important to understand that while this last year we are only just understanding what power our states have, the US is next level on that. Both federations but a lot more of it over there.

More reason to own a coffee van! Roam the carpark effectively printing money.
This proposal of purpose-constructed venues will let suburban doctors get back to being doctors. |

There are reports that PNG have accepted 200k doses of Sinopharm from China. Seriously WTF is going on when the EU is still blocking our doses but also why can't we still send more from our local supply .

The USA still leads the way with 23.79% of all cases and 19.85% of all deaths despite only having 4.25% of the global population.
Brazil is just ahead of India with 9.84% of cases but 11.57% of deaths and 2.73% of the global population. India has 9.54% of cases and (a probably understated) 5.76% of deaths and 17.74% of the world population. France and Russia take up the next two biggest totals but they are well behind the other three. France has 3.66% of cases; 3.37% of deaths but only 0.8% of the population while Russia (also known to be understated) has 3.47% of cases; 3.5% of deaths and 1.87% of the world population.

Yes they are, sadly.
During the early stages of the pandemic we were about on par with UnZud at around 1% CMR but the Victorian 2nd wave killed that and we ended up with one of the worst case mortality rates of any developed country. We've had 29,344 cases for the 909 deaths and a fair whack of those (~800) were in the aged care sector where we frankly did too little, too late. Conversely, our Southern cousins have had 2,507 cases for 26 deaths. You can't even say it's related to the test percentages. We've got one of the highest test percentages in the world having tested the equivalent of 62% of the population compared to the ~40% of New Zealand. There are countries with worse CMR's than ours like Afghanistan, Bosnia, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Ecuador, Egypt, Guatemala, Iran, Liberia etc. but I'm not sure that we can be too proud of that. Even countries that haven't handled it well like the USA (1.8%), Brazil (2.5%), the UK (2.9%) and Italy (3.0%) have all done at least a bit better.

Perish the thought!
There’s no clarity on when they might get up, though. |

Well today's the day the NZ govt makes a decision on the day they open the boarder, just curious to see how many of you guys
would be prepared to travel to NZ, I suspect it will be a bit like covid roulette with on and off boarder closure. Cheers. Last edited by five 7; 06-04-2021 at 05:14 AM. |

The gay nomads are already planning to use NZ as a workaround for the not leaving Australia rules. Oz-NZ-Europe. I reckon there will be thousands pulling this move to travel everywhere!
Should be ideal for NZ return quarantine profitability. |
