Re: Coronavirus - how's everyone doing?
I've been peddling it for a while now. You don't like it? You don't think it helps keep the death rate low working in tandem with high testing? We are hardly in the type of lockdown other countries have ...... yet ..... They will want to keep it that way and avoid full lockdown.

I have never seen the appeal either. Maybe I am missing out. Seems like an RSL club on water. Maybe the marketing is all wrong. One thing is for certain, it's going to take the cruise industry a long time to recover from this. Plus the cities and ports they go to will suffer too.

Today's spreadsheet - last night’s reports from the CMO indicated that we still haven’t hit our peak of the curve. The modelling suggests that Qld could even be much later as in August/ September. There is a bit of Influenza A about.

Yesterday was the 3rd, today is the 4th.
Rates over the previous few days are :
1st April 7%
2nd April 6%
3rd April 4%
4th April 4% (so far)
We are at 16 days doubling time. Which is about as good as it's going to get and the right time to go hard or see this drag on for months on end (which practically means it will go off the rails).

I think the rise in cases over the past couple of days for NZ is because more testing has been rolled out. The criteria also altered somewhat.

I think flu jabs are still available in some places but many GPs have closed completely to visitors and are only doing teleconsults, which are now temporarily being funded by Medicare.

Same here. In Western Australia you can now get a test if you're showing a fever of 38 and have respiratory symptoms.

2 months of lockdown to be sure of a full stamp out. Maybe even more as it's a multiplier virus.
It will be interesting to see where NZ is at the end of their 4 weeks. They are about 2 weeks in and still seeing growth in new cases, and they have bugger all cases in the grand scheme of things.
I am in 2 minds on this. Not totally against full lock down especially if it gets out of control but today (and I say today as things can change rapidly) things are in control and the effects on many fronts of full lockdown are much more intense to what they are now.
Bearing in mind the world is not going to operate for the next 6 month's at the earliest anyway, is dragging it along with a degree functionality, providing its in a degree of control, that bad?
Not sure.
