Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

[HappyFlyerFamily]

Is there a breakdown of NSW daily case numbers ie Sydney vs Regional?

From today's NSW Health daily report

Of the 478 locally acquired cases reported to 8pm last night, ...

[Sydney bold; regional/rural Italics]...183 are from Western Sydney Local Health District (LHD), 144 are from South Western Sydney LHD, 43 are from Sydney LHD, 35 are from Western NSW LHD, 25 are from South Eastern Sydney LHD, 18 are from Nepean Blue Mountains LHD [I think Greater Sydney], 16 are from Hunter New England LHD, four are from Northern Sydney LHD, two are from Central Coast LHD, two are from Illawarra Shoalhaven LHD and six cases are yet to be assigned to an LHD.

I would argue the exact opposite. At least if they developed outcomes to improve the situation in the nation going forward.

Given how little they have done in the last year two more weeks won’t make much difference.

Some more exposure sites near you. The notes column say St Kilda. So that may or may not mean thy are linked to the party.

Coles Balaclava also now has a tier 1 exposure listed for 4 hours on Friday.

So 4-5 days ago. This is the pattern that we saw in NSW as case numbers expanded, because of the timescales between infection and detection, and tracing activities.

You got your wish. NSW did 119.652

Yesterday the Commonwealth changed its method of accounting for vaccinations which saw on the day numbers swing about. Ie Vic was recorded as -30K and NSW +119K.

If the Commonwealth data is accurate there were on Sunday about 94 thousand doses nationally and 47 thousand in NSW.

However with them only transitioning their reporting yesterday they could easily have some bugs in their reporting as some of the other data looks odd.

Not sure it's the same. NSW Health has barely listed any exposure sites in Sydney in the last few days...for 800 odd cases. It looks like they've given up and are just working on regional.

This exposure no doubt results from the engagement party. Test results were coming in yesterday. It would be a typical timeline overall for a wild, not already directed to isolate, case.

Next thing people will be claiming that NSW retrospectively extracted the doses out of Victorians arms and somehow moved them north….

You could be on to something - maybe it's vaccinated Victorians who have moved to other states so they don't have to face another lockdown.

Oh damn I thought it was too good to be true.

Oh well, we all will just have to set a new record THIS week Today preferably.

And ended up in Sydney hahah how funny (kind of / black humour). Oh well, best laid plans!

Yes, like the Hoxton illegal gathering that kicked it off big time up here.

Ah yes. What was it - 46 cases from the '30' attendees? And the organiser 'forgot' about her father from Melbourne attending! No video though.

Well, on a numerical count of lockdowns we're still ahead here in Sydney at 2.25 (counting the Northern Beaches as the 0.25)

I was talking about vaccinations who honestly cares if Sydney has had more lockdowns or not . Now vaccinations are the only race we need to be caring about.

It's not the number, it's the duration that counts

No doubt this gathering could be the same. But still, the fact is that an exposure site is listed for Friday is not indicative of anything other than a wild case.

 

[jakeseven7]

No, just don’t care about state v state comparisons on anything other than vaccines. We have other members who are very good at screeching about that incessantly

 

[bcworld]

I have a feeling that Sydney might end up with the title of longest continuous lockdown, with Melbourne talking out the coughulative prize.

Of the 24 locally-acquired cases, 21 are linked to known outbreaks and 14 have been in isolation throughout their infectious period. [2/2]

So 3 unlinked as of now. Cases are to midnight though and so like yesterday they may not all end up staying that way for long.

 

[jakeseven7]

Anyway back on topic.

Would hope most were vaccinated anyway being vulnerable.

New Zealand wants to avoid 'dire consequences' seen in neighbours like Australia — as it happened

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announces a snap three-day lockdown after a single case of COVID-19, warning: "We've seen the dire consequences of taking too long to act in other countries, not least our neighbours."
