That’s interesting and all, but cases and deaths still rose 2% last week and are at record levels in Australia. I don’t know how that would be possible with the vaccination numbers you are claiming in addition to shutdowns and travel restrictions. It likely won’t be long before the vaccinated catch and spread delta, as the vaccines you are relying on were designed around the alpha strain (it sounds like they already are). Good luck though, mate. We’re cheering for ya.
Thanks, but stay with me here...cases rose 2% nationally, due to, my above mentioned , lag in the Victoria outbreak. Cases in NSW, after 70% double dose, now 83%, have fallen from 1600 to around 300. Only 482 are still in hospital, and that is the parameter that is dropping even more rapidly, as we expect case numbers to actually increase and stabilise again
Victoria is still stuck on the 2,000 mark and yet to come off the peak, but they have opened up anyway based on vax of 70% today.
