NSW appears to be near flatlining with new cases. Also the second dose Covid vaccination rate is measurably outpacing the first. First vaccinations increased by just under half the second dose tally. I’m genuinely concerned that effort to reach some of the disadvantaged communities will scale back heavily and smartly once we get the “target” numbers, irrespective of any civic responsibility.

And even if your website was based on Australian Law, you'd prefer to take the word of that website over the word of Dr. Marco Rizzi, a specialist in medical law at the University of Western Australia? How do you work out which one is 'garbage'?

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT September 22nd 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 1,663 new cases for Australia and 8 deaths so the CMR is 1.312%. 24 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.655%. The UK had 33,560 cases yesterday and 166 deaths for a CMR of 1.801%. 149,669 new cases in the USA yesterday and 2,582 deaths sees CMR at 1.612%. Other notable points: Russia passes 200k (official) deaths; North America passes 52M cases; Syria (278); Gabon (606); Singapore (1,457); and Belarus (1,989) ... recorded new 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 the 10 day period while Mexico and Azerbaijan drop below.

NSW/VIC
NSW records 1,064 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 0.9881 (from 0.9851) while the actual line is a bit further above the predictive trend line and based on the 4th order polynomial, that trend line now has a downward curve. ![]() VIC records 766 cases in the current period (another high for this outbreak) and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 1.2197 (from 1.10702) while the actual line is now above the predictive trend line. ![]()

Here's another definition for you: In internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others' perception. This is typically for the troll's amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival's online activities or manipulating a political process. Even so, Internet trolling can also be defined as purposefully causing confusion or harm to other users online, for no reason at all.

One of the things that has me puzzled is the disparity in mortality rates in the current outbreaks between Victoria and NSW with the former having an adjusted CMR of 0.185% and the latter 0.514% - almost three times higher.
I've got no logical explanation unless the higher numbers of cases in NSW caused some issues in health care ot the higher percentage of hospitalised Victorian patients being admitted to ICU is improving outcomes.

Also, would it be possible to overlay the death rates on the same graph? Again, we'd then be able to predict the rates in Vic.

One of the unexpected things is that the adjusted CMR in the UK has been rising since 'freedom day' - in the fortnight prior to that day, the CMR was 0.206% which was a lot better than their whole of pandemic average at that time which was 2.435%.
Despite the reasonably high vaccination rates, that figure has mostly climbed each subsequent 14 day period with: Fortnight 1 (548,676 cases) having a CMR of 0.239%; Fortnight 2 (410,237 cases) having a CMR of 0.376%; Fortnight 3 (490,412 cases) having a CMR of 0.372%; and Fortnight 4 (525,136 cases) having a CMR of 0.419% to date although we are still counting. This has also been the case in Florida with the fortnight prior to derestriction having a CMR of 1.422% and their whole of pandemic rate was pretty close at 1.399% but it's currently 1.452%: Fortnight 1 (203,325 cases) having a CMR of 1.585%; Fortnight 2 (305,305 cases) having a CMR of 1.635%; although Fortnight 3 (315,564 cases) might be lower based on the to-date data but there is also a significant delay in reporting deaths.

I wonder if Citroenbender happened to catch Ms Nicola Spurrier on the news last night.
Nice outfit. Must have a side gig at a burlesque show, bringing the raunchy to the local covid updates |

One hypnotises on Sydney's numbers is that certain groups are not keen to get tested even when they get symptoms and only calling an ambulance when things get worse or after it is too late. Nobody wants to name any ethnic backgrounds or cultural heritages; Aunty G defended her health minister when he made some comments about groups not following the rules. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/gladys-b...3-f742afebcc1c I live in one of the worst affected LGA, higher numbers come from certain suburbs - not whole LGA; only way out is to wait till full vaccination numbers reach their target.

If true then it's time to start cracking skulls, dust off the old hardwood batons and start dealing out a good old thrashing........cowardly a-holes!

Sadly, I must have missed that! Would hate to fund her endless wardrobe; it’s not just the clothes but the perfect accessorising as well.

Sad thing is the tradies that have been attending with a genuine cause will have their faces plastered all over social media now, and they'll get caught up in all of this. If you are going to attend a protest, know who is organising it and what their cause stands for.

i would have thought those tradies trying to do the right thing but wanting to protest about a shut down would continue to do the right thing and be wearing masks anyway?
You can always spot those not genuine because they're not wearing masks. Hell, pre covid those that didn't want to be caught doing something wrong wore masks to protect their identity. Anti-vaxxers and covid deniers so dumb that can't follow the basics. Bloody toddlers who do the opposite of what people tell them to do because they're contrarian (which is this whole issue, get told to do something, they get desperate to not do it. Get the vax - no. Don't be a fascist - no. We'll make it mandatory - I'm only vaxx hesitant but won't get it now because you told me I had to). Most of us grow up losing this attitude because life isn't easy if everything is a battle, parents and others force you to grow up. But some remain ignorant and spoilt, just cruising through life and become extreme right wing or antivaxx knobs. So anyone who had their face plastered over SM was asking for it! Doubly so because they're outed by their own crowd wanting to stream for clicks and likes. Last edited by oldel; 23-09-2021 at 07:42 PM. |
