Asia
Likewise, some countries case numbers per 100k of population have increased substantially including: Thailand (165), Iran (310), Malaysia (412), Kuwait (528), Bangladesh (948) and Cyprus (1,068). The trends show very mixed results. Amongst the largest group, I've actually taken Indonesia out of the graph as the trend is so steeply high that it makes the rest hard to see but the remainder are mostly trending downward except for Bangladesh. ![]() The next group are also all downward trending apart from Kazakhstan: ![]() .. and a similar story for the smallest group with only the UAE and Kyrgyzstan trending upward. ![]() Individual countries: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Source of the leak to tiktok man has been busted. I'm guessing they used the good old Tyrion Lanister, Game of Thrones, trickery!
Agree 1000%. There needs to be a plan to vaccinate all states at around the same rate before opening up. We can't have one state opening up faster, putting everyone else at risk.

Africa
The last 10 days have highlighted some countries where case numbers per 100k of population have increased substantially including: Libya (361), South Africa (401), Namibia (684) and Tunisia (862) Below are the trend graphs for Africa with the first group (those with the highest case numbers) both heading in the wrong direction again. ![]() The remaining group is a mixed bag with mostly upward trends except for Ethiopia and Kenya. ![]() Individual countries: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I read today, that it’s being implied one target of the NSW Government’s current restrictions is to achieve a vaccination rate of 80% or greater. I don’t know if that’s of gross population or eligible adults. Either way, it’s - as Sir Humphrey once said “courageous”.

6 States are following the plan to a certain extent, with between 40 and 52% total shots compared to total population. 1 state isn't, no prize for guessing which state thinks locking everyone out is the answer. 27% for them. So I say let them keep digging their iron ore and McGowan can sit on his iron throne worried about walkers from East of the wall. In the rest of the country, if you cant get Pfizer, see your GP and get AZ!! Or stay at home for the long winter. Shameless multiple Game of Thrones references in my open up when the rest of the country is at 70% opinion.

After 5 successful "calculations" in a row, he got today wrong. He called 105, but today was 98. I didn't watch the presser, but workmate told me NSW Health was asked if there was a sting set up to catch the leak. NSW Health denied there was one set up. There has been lots of rumours swirling around the use of tiktok guy. Some even linked him with GB, suggesting it was a way to soften the blow of the message, or to take attention away from the current crisis i.e. get everyone talking about tiktok guy rather than the case numbers. Some say he has been using the CovidSafe app which provides some details that you can use to calculate the numbers. All rumours and conjecture with no evidence.
Anyhow, he is now claiming that the numbers published today by NSW Health are "incorrect" and has been deliberately changed to discredit him. Sounds like a looney? My theory - they fed a bunch of suspected leakers with different incorrect numbers. So when tiktok guy published 105, they know who leaked it to him. The Tyrion Lanister trick!

A bit sad that catching the leaker is more important than many other jobs for the incumbents.
And it looks like the “hang ‘em high” crowds calling for blood of the infamous Molong removalists, have one corpse as a consequence. Also a bit sad. |

Why would anyone believe anything other than it being leaked? The formulas/diagrams he had on his whiteboard didnt even correspond to anything that could plausibly be linked to a case count calculation. It just looked something he got off a scene from Good Will Hunting.

I really hope these seemingly-endless loops tonight from around Gladesville to Dundas by Polair, are part of a one-off activity and not the “new normal”.

All States stepped up to cover the Feds **** for quarantine All States stepped up to help with the vaccine roll-out All States were busy managing their States issues and now you are saying they should have stepped up and looked after another Federal responsibility - seriously? Get your ScoMo blinkered glasses off ScoMo has a history of this - holidaying in Hawaii while the Eastern half of Australia was on fire - there is a saying 'couldn't organise a r*** in a b*****' and it fits here

Dan let the zombies out of quarantine with absolute incompetence. The Feds let the zombies then get into Federally run nursing homes with absolute incompetence. They are both equally culpable. If either of them did a good job it would not have happened that way.

I'm over all the blaming of different states and Commonwealth.
It doesn't help the situation at all. All I want is the Commonwealth, states and territories to work together and find a workable solution. No one of them is to take the credit. It should just be a collective agreement. |

I think we will need to face the reality that soon enough EVERY one of us will get Covid.
Looking at what has happened in the UK, Israel, USA, Canada, Germany etc All around or past 50% vaccination. All with large numbers being found every day. Daily numbers in the hundreds or thousands. They had a great head start, they had a far greater infection rate pre vaccination (population with possibly more natural immunity?) yet they have faced the reality that total eradication is never going to happen. Singapore no longer lists new Covid cases apparently, but rather deaths - makes sense seeing as the numbers alone play mind games and cause unnecessary fear and social tension. Our government is striving for an impossible target, perhaps they are trying to save face after their recent fall from grace. Who the hell knows? Continual lock downs, population control and 'expert advice' has caused nothing but personal and financial destruction to a huge percentage of our population. I hate to say it but this madness has to stop before we are already more rooted than we already are.

I am not sure about that, I think the Constitution is fine the way it is - do you want the Feds to over-rule the States? Really?
It has highlighted to the uneducated about how our Constitution works - my kids thought that the Feds ruled over the States, this has certainly educated them on how it really works and on some issues where the power sits and that education is a good thing

But, I do see a point in time where the medical community may still record the number of Covid infections, but both the general community and the media will lose interest in it, as it probably has little relevance for the average person. Quote:
On another note, I see that Queensland has recorded one locally acquired case today. A female who studies in Melbourne. Of most concern, she was in the community whilst infectious. This has the potential to gather momentum for Queensland. E: Interesting to hear that she was fully vaccinated with Pfizer, too. 2E: And visited Cairns and dined out in Mooloolaba whilst infectious.
