VIC records 1,935 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate decreases to 0.9891 (from 1.0247) while the actual line falls well behind the predictive trend.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT October 23rd 2021.

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

1,912 new cases for Australia and 11 deaths so the CMR is 1.037%.

105 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.504%.

The UK had 44,985 cases yesterday and 135 deaths for a CMR of 1.597%.

84,514 new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,658 deaths sees CMR at 1.633%.

Other notable points: (weekend reporting)
Global cases pass 244M, the last 1M in 2 days;
Peru passes 200k deaths;

Barbados (297); and
Russia (37,678)

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

Austria moves above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period and no countries drop below.

Thinking about this Uber driver who has posted many anti-vax posts etc.
You know, the one who couldn't be bothered checking in to establishments so couldn't care less about the repercussions.
He is now infected with Covid and apparently in a bad way in hospital.
Does he get treated with drugs in an attempt to help him recover or does he just take up a bed until he dies?

He doesn't want any drugs to help him not get the disease so I figure he wouldn't want any to help treat it...

There's a lot of similar approaches to this line of thought, such as:

1) Smokers who know the health affects and receive treatment

2) Illegal drug users who take up health and community services from the effects of actions

3) People who fall down stairs despite being told the correct technique to avoid it and receive hospital care

The list could go on..

Of course he should be treated, and we should further accommodate close family for visiting during his recovery. Leading by positive example would be the right way.

The list could go on..
4) People who eat fast food boiled in trans-fats then take up vital resources, mainly hospital beds.

5) People who drink alcohol and know the health effects, and use up vital resources, mainly hospital beds.

6) People who drink sugary fizzy drinks and know the health effects, who then take up vital dental and hospital resources, and hospital beds.

7) People who drive petrol or diesel powered vehicles, who wantonly and with full knowledge, destroy the environment, sulphur dioxide being the main culprit, who get sick and take up health resources and hospital beds.


I could go on and on and on, problem is that we all know what we are doing, but do nothing until you or a loved one is taken ill.

Only because he is/was ignorant, not fully educated, and in pursuit of the "mighty dollar"
Sounds like you may like to give him 3 ounces of lead behind the left ear!
It's stupidity, nothing else, and that damned social media that keeps these folk from following the correct line!

Would love to buy this patron a beer.

Some of these so called freedom fighters are really showing their true colours. Fancy hassling people trying to enjoy their long awaited dine outs. Take it up with Gov if you have a problem, leave the public alone?

I agree we have to treat him properly; I was more trying to point out the hypocrisy of people such as him.

Yeh, I gave it 10 mins of my attention, saw the counter video and the counter counter videos.

Rebel "News", relies on creating outrage to gain subscribers. Walking around with one bad *** looking "security guard" and a camera crew looking for "news"? Agree the patron is not all 100% innocent, but its the first weekend that the public have been able to just enjoy a meal after how long? I'll bet my left nut he wasn't walking around looking to cover how people were celebrating lock downs ending and enjoying their meals. He went around looking for that type of "news" and he got it I suppose.

I found it ironic that it was called out by "news.com.au"

Just to play devil's advocate for a second.. what happens if/when our hospital systems end up saturated like has happened to many countries overseas. Where people who have episodes (that prior to covid were often treated with good outcomes) are unable to be treated, or have treatment delayed until it's too late, because beds are tied up with unvaccinated covid patients? There have been many stories of people dying from a treatable condition because there was nowhere to put them, and the beds were all full with "stupid" people.

If I lose someone to a treatable condition because a bed wasn't available, I'm not sure I'd take it all that well and my finger would probably be pointed right at said stupid people.

That is exactly what a real journalist would do, walk on. You would have seen it as they were being yelled at being part of the "MSM"

This guy is not a journalist, he is doing what you or I would do. We are not journalists.

so some one verbal abuses you and you go to incite the situation more and not just once in that clip
as a journo your there to cover the news not be there to make the news
and his security guy is no more than a hired thug using security as an excuse to get physical

the patron didnt go out to them , they went to confront the patron
and if you thing thats ok
That puts you in the same dog excrement class as far as I’m concerned

It is actually the start of the story.

Well you need to see then that this is what happens if people do not get vaccinated on-mass. We cannot in just over a year and a half suddenly train up all of the staff required to double or triple the hospital system.

That is what you would have if you got your wish that everyone just does what they want (not what is for the greater good) and bugger the consequences.

So you really should answer Leesa's question, if you got your way, and there was no twisting of people's arms to get vaccinated, no benefits to those who do, when the hospitals are inevitably full, what happens when you have to turn people away?

A - a lottery,
B - first come first served
C - those that made the effort get preference

I don't like any of them that is why I support vaccination. Or have you got another option?

Already happening. Hospitals stopped elective surgery two weeks ago in case of COVID Armageddon.

Well you need to see then that this is what happens if people do not get vaccinated on-mass. We cannot in just over a year and a half suddenly train up all of the staff required to double or triple the hospital system.

That is what you would have if you got your wish that everyone just does what they want (not what is for the greater good) and bugger the consequences.

So you really should answer Leesa's question, if you got your way, and there was no twisting of people's arms to get vaccinated, no benefits to those who do, when the hospitals are inevitably full, what happens when you have to turn people away?

A - a lottery,
B - first come first served
C - those that made the effort get preference

I don't like any of them that is why I support vaccination. Or have you got another option?
Governments have had two years to ready the hospitals for Covid patients; I don't see any hospitals atm being overwhelmed in Australia.
We will have to wait and see as to how hospitals handle the situation if they are overwhelmed.
By the way hospital staff will determine who gets preferential treatment as per diagnose unless you want to be in private health cover and that is no guarantee at times.

I will say it again "It will be a sad day when hospitals start refusing treating patients"

Cheers

Actually it has been happening for quite awhile with elective surgery being cancelled as I have experienced this myself 12 months ago.
Elective surgery can be effected at any time for many other reasons so nothing new there.

PS: Not all elective surgery is cancelled; only some atm.
