Greece makes vaccines mandatory for over 60s and adds the annual fine to your tax bill.

LOL probably more a previous generalization but a nice soft law that makes it look like you are doing something.

A monthly fine? That's not a fine, just another subscription. Now Demetrius has to cancel Netflix and no more Uber Eats, which in the long term would be beneficial. |

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT November 30th 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 1,092 new cases for Australia and 9 deaths so the CMR is 0.954%. 132 new cases and 1 death for NZ so CMR is 0.380%. The UK had 39,713 cases yesterday and 159 deaths for a CMR of 1.417%. 113,069 new cases in the USA yesterday and 979 deaths sees CMR at 1.625%. Other notable points: Global cases pass 263M, the last 1M in 1 day; North America passes 59M cases; Australia passes 2,000 deaths; No countries .... 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 and no countries drop below.

Anyone else wonder as to how we got from Delta to Omicron? Well, here's the official explanation; in short, the WHO uses three classifications to categorise variants: variants of concern (VOC), variants of interest (VOI), and variants under monitoring (VUM).
Alpha — a variant of concern Beta — a variant of concern Gamma — a variant of concern Delta — a variant of concern Epsilon — formerly a monitored variant Zeta — formerly a monitored variant Eta — variant under monitoring, formerly of interest Theta — formerly a monitored variant Iota — variant under monitoring, formerly of interest Kappa — variant under monitoring, formerly of interest Lambda — a variant of interest Mu — a variant of interest Omicron — a variant of concern So, what happened to Nu and Xi? According to a WHO spokesperson, Nu was skipped because "it is too easily confounded with 'new'." Meanwhile, the organisation opted against using Xi as it is a common surname. "WHO best practices for naming new diseases ... suggest avoiding 'causing offence to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional or ethnic groups'," they said. All of this is also detailed on the WHO website.

I was just looking at an aerial photograph of the Howard Springs detention centre; it’s genuinely surprising to note the lack of solar panels on roofs. Surely there are fixings rated for potentially cyclonic conditions.

I have noticed that there weekend reporting has dropped off and thus we get big numbers on Monday/Tuesday here as they filter through. Makes it hard to track trends though.

Well, we've been caught up in the Covid triangle again. Got an email from my daughter's school yesterday afternoon advising that a confirmed case attended the school on 26th Nov and that she was identified as a 'school-based contact'. as a result, she needs to get a PCR test 'straight away' and isolate until the test result comes back.
She was about to start work at Target when I read the message, so called her straight away. The manager then made the decision to have all employees that afternoon who were students at that school, not work. So, she's booked in this morning for her test. I have heard that test results are currently taking more than 24 hours to come back, with some up to 3 days. I hope that her results don't take that long. Not a great way to finish off the 2021 school year. Let's just hoe that 2022 is a better year.

While we have seen the CMR gradually reducing globally, it isn't reducing at a rate that it should be given the lower mortality rates for vaccinated people and a look at the whole of pandemic trends, seems to support the view that it isn't improving as much as it should.
Let's start with the global case numbers. In the chart below, you can clearly see the 5 individual waves with the 3rd being the most severe and the current one (mostly Europe) currently better than the previous two although it hasn't peaked yet. The trend line is, however, quite flat so that's a good sign. ![]() The whole of pandemic mortality graph below shows a not dissimilar pattern of 'waves' although they aren't quite as defined but the current trend is still upwards. ![]() The final chart plots the daily CMR for this year (2021) and while it's not an absolute measure, the trend should be downward and while it did dip a bit over September/October, it's trending upward again. ![]() About the only ray of light is the mortality model which shows that the trend is now running with the lower of the two predictive lines whereas it had been above the higher of the two liners earlier this year. ![]()

If you overlay the NSW and VIC figures from Russ' models then this is what it looks like based on a common start date for the 4 most significant outbreaks. I'd struggled sometimes to picture them all for duration and severity.

The only real question mark at the moment, is what is a reasonable amount of time to wait before taking that action.
