An interesting stat form yesterday that I wasn't aware of:
A total of 96,337 Victorians rolled up their sleeves for a first or second jab yesterday. That's more than every other state in Australia COMBINED. Well done, Viccos. We are smashing it, at a time when we need to.

Wow, this is ridiculous. You think that maybe he's not in the position to make statements to the media? And that there's a difference professionally between what's said privately and what's made as a now official statement to the media on Pfizer's behalf?
Again, this isn't the bombshell you think it is. It's not kept secret, you learn this in high school, or watching The Magic School Bus... |

No, that stat was for yesterday's results. Therefore, not a public holiday in the other states.

Even if she broke the rules, as has been hinted at, this sort of action is totally uncalled for:
Police believe COVID-positive woman's car and house targeted in SA Police believe a woman who tested positive to COVID-19 in South Australia's South East has been targeted in an attack overnight. The woman is in a medi-hotel in Adelaide with her children. Emergency services were called to car fire at a house in Mount Gambier just before 10 o'clock last night. They say the car had been set alight in the driveway and was threatening the home. The Police Commissioner Grant Stevens says it's believed the vehicle belonged to the woman who tested positive to COVID-19 after returning from Victoria last Friday. He's condemned the attack and called for people to be more understanding. "People shouldn't assume that they know what's going on," he said. "It's completely unnecessary, it's unwarranted they have committed a serious crime and if we do detect them then we will be dealing with them appropriately."

It’s easy to see the bridging from rhetoric of some, to such actions by others. Not unlike the old days of “poofter-bashing”.

NSW/VIC
NSW records 594 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate increases to 0.9570 (from 0.9542) while the actual line is about level with the predictive trend line and based on the 3rd order polynomial, that trend line now has a downward curve again. ![]() VIC records 1,420 cases in the current period and the 10-day average growth rate decreases to 1.0839 (from 1.0986) while the actual line is now below the predictive trend. ![]()

That's a great result for NSW and is continuing a good trend.
Clearly the vaccination push has made significant impact to the numbers. I see that other states, especially those who are not as significantly impacted by case numbers, are lagging behind the vaccination rates. Dose allocations (ie Sydney as a priority during their outbreak) would have had a part to play in that, but there is clearly a case of "if it's not in my backyard, I don't need to worry" about this, as identified by the Queensland Premier: Quote:

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT October 5th 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 2,389 new cases for Australia and 11 deaths so the CMR is 1.172%. 26 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.613%. The UK had 33,049 cases yesterday and 166 deaths for a CMR of 1.721%. 101,714 new cases in the USA yesterday and 2,082 deaths sees CMR at 1.618%. Other notable points: Singapore (3,486); and Romania (15,037) ... recorded new highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. Bulgaria moves above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period while no countries drop below.

One of the things I've come to learn in life is that, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you just have to accept that hitting your head against a brick wall is not going to move the wall, and you're just going to give yourself a headache.

NSW’s Tuesday vaccination tallies are out, 89,0 / 69,1 percent. That means the GSS will likely cross the 70%x2 benchmark during today.

They may possibly reduce indoor numbers at 80% if there is a full on outbreak, but it won't be scrapped altogether. Well...thats my bet. So far they have stuck to their roadmap when its been published, from 2nd lockdown till now.

Went to see my GP today, have a 7:30 am appointment every second Wednesday for my opioid contract, which is due to be assessed as I may need to increase it, so I get what I came for, this is due to increased pain from my little effort changing trans oil then on my hands and knees yesterday with a scrubbing brush and degreaser!
Must of torn right shoulder tendon again, but the GP starts coughing, I say you alright mate, had ya covid shots, he says yeh, what about flu!..had ya flu shot!....he said f#&k off Billy, your giving me the ****s, go home and tear some more tendons and I'll see you next week, too funny, I ended up looking at his secretary's Hyundai Sonato, said her heater stopped working, spent an hour looking at that, told her its either blocked heating radiator or a thermostat. I left a note for her son to flush out the heater etc, she said oh my husband checked all the fuses!...I said which ones, she said not sure, I said does he speak French to which she replied no, and I said well he dident check the fuses then because it's all in French!....see you later..... |
