Is it really an increase, or is it like DV, where there’s more effective logging of data than previously?

Whats the fuss all about? There is a jab for that as well
Cases from 2 in 2016 to 21 in 2019. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel now. The real story is that they are using CV genome sequencing techniques to track and trace the clusters. The locations where they are popping up tells an interesting story though. |

They need every cent they can get. However... just a test result for entry is playing with fire. Results come back wrong quite often. But, my selfish side is saying it's a good thing because I'm dying to hop on a plane and the more countries that open borders the more we will be compelled to follow....eventually..

Three members of Australia's Olympic skateboarding team contract COVID-19
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-05-...ovid/100159612 Ouch! Wasn't the 13 year old set to be our youngest Olympic competitor ever? Have noticed a rise in skateboarding amongst the teeny boppers post lock down. There are a couple of skate parks around our area and its ALWAYS packed, regardless of weather. |

Yes the whole team got their 1st shot before going. The shots don't stop you from getting it so it's not surprising in that front.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT May 23rd, 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 2 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 3.033%. 6 cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.975% and active cases 27. The UK had a lower 1,912 cases yesterday and 5 deaths. Just over 20k new cases in the USA yesterday and 452 deaths sees CMR at 1.782%. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences. Other notable points: (weekend reporting) Russia passes 5M cases; Asia passes 49M cases; Bahrain (3,177); Malaysia (6,976); and Colombia (21,669) - the previous high on 15/01/21 ... 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. I'm going to take a handful of countries off the watch list as they seem to have largely gotten their outbreaks under control. There are others that while being well below their peak are still recording daily case numbers per 100k of population that are concerning. Zimbabwe - peaked at 1,583 in late January; haven't crossed the 90th percentile threshold of 181 since early February and their 10-day average is only 19 cases/day. Ghana - peaked at 1,365 in January; haven't crossed the 90th percentile threshold of 617 since late February and their 10-day average is 46 cases/day. Nigeria - peaked at 1,964 in January; haven't crossed the 90th percentile threshold of 938 since mid February and their 10-day average is 37 cases/day. Senegal - peaked at 478 last July; haven't crossed the 90th percentile threshold of 221 since early March and their 10-day average is 30 cases/day. Malta - peaked at 510 in early March; haven't crossed the 90th percentile threshold of 184 since late March and their 10-day average is 3 cases/day. Myanmar - peaked at 2,158 last October; haven't crossed the 90th percentile threshold of 1,233 since mid December and their 10-day average is 23 cases/day. Israel - peaked at 11,316 last September; haven't crossed the 90th percentile threshold of 5,238 since early February and their 10-day average is 26 cases/day.

There is also mixed report as to whether the entire team now forfeits due to being close contacts or whether it's just the 3 that will drop out. One of the 3 is a coach.

I’m pencilled in for three weeks’ time to get the first vaccinamacation. Prior to that I’ll do my best to both offend and flatter everyone so that a fatal complication would be met with balanced relief and disappointment. :p

You might be in luck with a new gig, they’re looking for Olympic grade skateboarders without Covid-19.

‘Silently brewing’: No lockdown as missing links to new COVID cluster sought
A senior federal Coalition source on Monday night told The Age that Victorian health officials were working on the theory that the outbreak was linked to the Wollert case, but genomic sequencing was required to confirm the link. https://www.theage.com.au/national/v...24-p57ujw.html |

If they block them from attending then they need to ask every other participant to show proof that they have never been struck with Covid. Japan needs to be a little more diplomatic. They start going hardball blocking people from now it will be more reason to scrap the games - they are already skating on thin ice. Games are 2 months away. If these chaps get over it and are cleared why can't they attend? 2 weeks I can understand, but 2 months??

It appears that many needed to compete in the US competitions to qualify for the games. Some of the team have already qualified. Several of the team were too young for vaccination, under current guidelines.

So they went back to check after noticing abnormal sewerage samples? Sounds like they did a good thing there. The fact they haven't hinted on a lock down suggests enough people are coming forward for testing. If cases grow outside of the current family clusters, we might be in for a snap 2-3 day lock down. If we need to do it....do it! FFS. Wish they would just spit it out. Don't see the need for the secret hush hush psst psst I have a secret leak type mentality. |
