Been a trying couple of years and people are over it. The varying rule changes, the illogical, the Press in for their pound, I can't explain clearly how deflated people would be over all the BS that we've gone through. Most are triple vaxxed, look after yourselves and fam and be careful and consider others. I for one am glad trying to get on with life that I'm sure the rest of us are.

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT March 6th 2022.
19,519 new cases for Australia and 14 deaths so the CMR is 0.161%. NZ recorded 15,205 cases and 2 deaths for a CMR of 0.029%. The UK didn’t report (again) for a CMR of 0.847%. 16,213 new cases in the USA yesterday and 328 deaths sees CMR at 1.216%. Other notable points: Global cases pass 446M; South America drops below the 90th percentile over the 10-day period; Europe passes 160M cases; Italy passes 13M cases; Only - Vietnam (142,136) – the 8th consecutive day ...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 Romania and Mauritania drop below.

I think it is correct to say that most of the world is 'getting on with it' in one way or another. Most of Europe is over the explosion of Omicron cases that saw totals for the continent in excess of 1.5M cases per day and the 7-day average is now below the 90th percentile.
Some Asian countries (notably Vietnam & South Korea) are still getting very high case numbers and the continent 7-day average is still more than 100k cases above the 90th percentile so there are still some gains to be made there. Somewhat ironically, the UK has simpler entry requirements for an Australian visitor than we have for a returning traveller. They only require you to be fully vaccinated and complete a passenger locator form within 72 hours of arrival but have dropped any requirement for pre-departure or post-arrival testing and there are no quarantine rules. Despite some minor problems with the multi-purpose form, it is a simple process. Coming back requires a pre-departure negative test and digital passenger declaration within 72 hours of departure plus quarantine on arrival until a negative test result is obtained (at least for VIC).

They have 7 times more NOT double shot vaccinated. Funnily enough if you multiply our CMR of .161 by 7 you nearly end up with exactly the US CMR ......

Am hearing that HK is fast becoming out of control. A large part of their elderly population are very hesitant on vaccines. Gov are having to build make shift hospitals as they have run out of beds. The locals are also reluctant to receive medical personnel assistance from the mainland, for fear that their jobs will be taken in the longer term.
HK is extremely densely populated, its hard to see them reversing the trend.

HK is a basket case at the moment. They went from almost no cases a day to over 1k/day at the start of February; 5k/day by mid February and every day since 26th of February has been over 10k/day and the last week has seen a total of 257k cases!

Amazing isn't it, one stage sometime ago it was totally under control.
Over populated, high denisity living, its running rampant now. Very sad for low income people and the aged. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/02/b...ong-covid.html

Every day I read these numbers - USA hits 1,xxx pretty much everyday so wondered what that total is now.
951K, 961K and 987K depending on which website you choose (quite a variation too) Will be reaching the 1 million death mark within the 1st week of April if they keep losing people at that rate. |

One of the things I haven't looked at recently, is the variation in CMR between the States.
We know that for whole of pandemic, Victoria has the worst CMR (0.232%) thanks to the aged care debacle with WA the best (0.040%), then Tasmania (0.047%); ACT (0.062%); NT (0.069%); Queensland (0.101%); SA (0.131%) and NSW (0.136%). Put another way you were 3x more likely to die in NSW if you got infected than in WA. Anyway, the CMR's for this year make interesting reading. WA is still the best (0.010%) and well below the whole pandemic rate, followed by: Tasmania (0.024%) and ACT (0.037%) about half the whole pandemic rate; NT (0.067%) and barely changed; Queensland (0.102%) - actually a bit above the whole of pandemic rate; NSW (0.104%) and improved; Victoria (0.115%) and no longer the worst; and SA (0.136%) - somewhat higher and now the worst rate. The adjusted CMR does change the order a little: Tas 0.031% ACT 0.046% NT 0.080%; WA 0.089%; Qld 0.115%; NSW 0.118%; Vic 0.127%; and SA 0.165%.

Seems to have been a big jump in number of cases in NSW in the last few days, coinciding with the floods? People unable to practice covid safe?
The ratio of hospitilisations between Vic and NSW is also widening compared to the peak of Omnicron.

I have been back in the office for almost the last two weeks (7/9). Not a lot of people but with the way petrol is going even less incentive to be there
![]() I still mask up when going in and out the office and when at the shops. It's not a big deal for me. I was talking to a bloke who caught the rona. He is super fit and healthy who runs or rides ~20km+ to work and it floored him for most of a week. Double jabbed and was due for the booster. A new sub variant of Omnicron is suspected to be behind the rise in NSW. |

I haven't been following things too closely lately.
My question is where are we at with what happens 3 months after the booster or 3rd shot? Is there any answer on what happens next?

Global (figures up to 12/3/22)
During the last 14 days, global CMR's have mostly been dropping with the global average now at 1.328% compared to 1.331% in the previous period and 2.323% a year ago today. Case number have tapered off slightly with 22.462M in this period compared to 24.1M in the previous period with 99,858 deaths in the last 14 days for a lower CMR of 0.445% on an unadjusted basis. That's 26% less deaths than the previous period and the adjusted CMR based on the previous period case numbers is 0.414% but that's far from an exact science. Note that 'adjusted' CMR uses the case numbers from between 16 and 30 days ago and the mortalities from the last 14 days Overall the increase in cases numbers was 4.9% but the variance in the number of deaths only 1.65% so that's a positive sign. Countries (with >100k cases) that were above 10% growth rate are headed by Hong Kong (+86.1%); New Zealand (+80.4%); South Korea (+54.4%);Brunei (49.3%); Vietnam (+40.9%); Singapore (+25.1%); Iceland (+22.2%);Austria (+15.4%);Japan (+15.0%); Germany (+14.1%); Finland (+13.1%); Latvia (+12.9%); Australia (+11.5%);Netherlands (+11.4%); Malaysia (+10.7%);Channel Islands (+10.7%); Martinique (+10.6%) with Thailand & Switzerland right on +10.0%. Very few countries saw their mortalities increase by much with Hong Kong (+86.7%), New Zealand (+44.6%), Brunei (+29.4%), Iceland (+22.8%), South Korea (+22.2%), Singapore (+12.3%), Denmark (+11.5%), Japan (+11.0%), Australia (+11.4%) and Finland (+10.9%) having double digit growth amongst countries with >100k cases.
