Good news is it looks like Vic Gov is trying not to impose full lock down. Hopefully they have caught this one soon enough to be able to ring fence the close contacts, lets see. The Blues vs Cats game is a bit worrying though, because blues fans are from a certain demographic which have a high likelihood to have also attended the Lygon st festivities on Monday morning. A couple of people I know went to both, although they weren't sitting in the direct exposure location at the MCG.

Lockdown or no lockdown, I think people will naturally move less. Some don't want to catch CV, but many just don't want to get caught at an exposure site where you'd then be forced to do 2 weeks isolation. People will impose their own "stay at home" until cases go back to 0, and that will hit businesses.
This post aged terribly.

Full lockdown for all of Victoria from mignight. Thanks NSW.

The guy is a joke. I lost all respect for him many months ago, especially the buck passing and the "It's not a race" comments.

The trip OS was the final nail in the coffin in terms of my opinion of him.

I can't watch the news any more in fear of putting my fist through the screen if he is holding a press conference.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT July 15th 2021.

Note
: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting.

84 new cases for Australia and no deaths so the CMR is 2.894%.

4 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.931% and active cases 45.

The UK had a higher 47,891 cases yesterday and higher 63 deaths for a CMR of 2.456%.

A higher 37,432 new cases in the USA yesterday and higher 403 deaths sees CMR at 1.790%.

Other notable points:
The last three days have seen global case number back over 500k / day;
Africa sets a new daily high of 47,661 cases;
India passes 31M cases;

Isle of Man (116);
Laos (116);
Cyprus (1,152);
Fiji (1,220);
Vietnam (3,416);
Kazakhstan (5,314);
Malaysia (13,215); and
Indonesia (56,757)

... all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

Malta moves above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period while no countries drop below.

I'm not sure that the UK strategy is going to be a whole lot of good in the short term even if it might be a better long term approach.

Case numbers have been on the increase since early June when they were ~7k per day and they have been above 30k for the last 9 days and above 40k the last two.

The only positive is that there had only been 752 deaths from the 338k cases during the previous rolling 14-day period which is a CMR of 0.222% so although there have been a further 450k cases in the last 14 days, if that CMR holds up then there would only be another ~1,000 deaths from those cases.

At least it can serve as an example of what might be achieved and if a >10 fold drop in CMR is what happens in a 65% vaccinated country then perhaps there is some daylight ahead.

It's still rubbery numbers though and it might well be another 3 months before the numbers get clearer.

We still don't know what percentage of those who get COVID have long term impacts from it and whether that is an acceptable societal risk.

Even a 10 fold drop here would still leave us at 0.3% CMR so is that an acceptable level? I guess the answer depends on what case numbers you get. If we got the ~100 cases a day that we have now then we'd have ~110 deaths per annum which is probably an acceptable level but if uncontrolled outbreaks led to Victoria 2020 levels of 500+ cases a day does that equation change? (500/day would equate to ~550 deaths per annum)

I'm not professing to have answers - just posing the questions.

I believe that psychologically, the UK’s position marks a shift from the prior near-global position of “Oh no! We’re in serious trouble!” to “Let’s get through this, even if there are low points”.

Cases vs deaths in the UK. Copied off another site, so validate the numbers for yourself. Speaking to a couple of, relatively conservative, work colleagues in the UK last night, they are ready to want to open up. The "fear" is no longer there.

Did I hear correctly today, when asked why luxury good retailers were still open, the response was "data does not show the virus spreads in retail settings" Yet there are close to 200 unlinked cases. It feels like Dr Chant is going to crack it at some stage, constantly being thrown under the bus at the pressers. I hope she kept documented evidence of her actual health advice.

Once Vic opens up, there is nothing to stop another incursion, except a gold plated border, but that won't happen for the sake of regional livelihoods. We are being held to ransom.

With the amount of cases and deaths earlier on, it was impossible to conduct a clinical assessment on every single death. So this is how they count.

https://publichealthmatters.blog.gov...vid-19-deaths/

Quote:
The additional indicators which will be used to calculate daily death figures are:

* the number of deaths in people with COVID-19 that occur within 28 days of a first positive laboratory-confirmed test. This is intended to provide a headline indicator of the immediate impact of recent epidemic activity. Deaths that occur more than 28 days after a positive test will not be included in this count.

* the number of deaths that occur within 60 days of a first positive test. Deaths that occur after 60 days will also be added to this figure if COVID-19 appears on the death certificate. This will provide a more complete measure of the burden of the disease over time.

Wow, assuming those graphs are correct that certainly puts things into perspective.

We are a long way off our freedom day. I think we just ticked over 13% full vaccination, but what's the single dose stat? Must be nearing 40% by now?

If that's the case and the fast tracking of the second AZ dose works then we should be at near 50% in 2 months.

See what happens!

Any other site that is near live that shows data as a percentage?

Thanks!

I was close. Almost 13% full vaccination and Almost 35% first dose.

Hoping for 40% full vaccination in 2 months.

Even a 10 fold drop here would still leave us at 0.3% CMR so is that an acceptable level? I guess the answer depends on what case numbers you get. If we got the ~100 cases a day that we have now then we'd have ~110 deaths per annum which is probably an acceptable level but if uncontrolled outbreaks led to Victoria 2020 levels of 500+ cases a day does that equation change? (500/day would equate to ~550 deaths per annum)

I'm not professing to have answers - just posing the questions.
It is a question with no pleasant answers.

Some perspective on 550 deaths per annum, to just scrape into the 20th leading cause of death, 2143 is the number needed per annum. Top ten, 3580. Lung cancer is number 4 at 8739.

So I would expect that all forms of smoking should be banned well before NOT opening up when we get to around 70% vaccinated. What impacts on our overall way of life more, stopping everyone smoking or continual lockdowns and travel bans?

(being a personal choice person I say let em smoke and open everything up at 70)

Default Re: Covid 19 -

IMO, once the rate of vaccination starts to fall noticeably, it's clear that for the most part, most of the people who intend to get the vaccine will have done so. I'm not interested in protecting the stupid from themselves.

You can't expect to benefit from herd immunity while refusing to contribute toward it.
