Unless I'm having groundhog day syndrome, I think its 20 cases again today, all in Auckland.

Changes to restrictions for the rest of NZ might be announced on Monday 4pm (NZ time) - Level 4 for Auckland is until midnight 13/9 at the moment.

Yes 20 again.

Do we still care about case numbers?
Oh right we do because they forgot to vaccinate in NZ

Another Groundhog Day of 20 cases in Auckland

Delta version of level 2 restriction outside of Auckland from 1159pm Tuesday.

Auckland remains level 4 for a week.

I think they're officially in the "stubborn cases" phase of the outbreak, as we saw early on in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.

It will be interesting to see if their tougher level 4 lockdown is enough to squash it.

However, still enough cases not linked / too many infectious in the community and testing woefully low - just over 2,000 tests in Auckland and less than 5,000 tests nationally. The population of NZ is very close to QLD, and Auckland and Brisbane have similar population sizes as well - yet even on a low day Queensland is testing closer to 10,000 (which is low by Australian standards).

just over 2,000 tests in Auckland

With a population of 1.7 million in an outbreak setting they see the need to "crush and kill" that is absolutely woeful

Why doesn’t NZ just take a couple of million of our AZ and fix their problems in a couple of weeks? Or has the media and ‘medical advisory groups’ destroyed the AZ vaccine there too?

Don't know, it's approved for use as far as I'm aware.

Fees like a no brainer…. Keep Pfizer for the kids or Moderna if that’s coming… They could easily be done in a few months and trans Tasman open for Xmas

 

[burmans]

Not sure how this would help a lot, they are due to get all Pfizer by end Oct anyway so already can be done by Xmas. Now whether they will be is another matter but not sure I'd want to introduce AZ into that equation, I'm sure the same arguments would flare there as have here.

Oh dear still very slow. Hope it picks up.... What interval are they using - have they tried to lengthen it to avoid the Pfizer fade?

That would be seen as a political failure by NZ Govt
Having spent last winter in MEL and this winter in NZ, the NZ CV19 responce is far more politically driven. All about spin and making some people look *good*.

Interesting graphic to actually show how many have booked. A bit weird that some haven't booked their second dose.

Interesting interpretation, 63% of over 12's is actually higher than Aus at 63.2% of over 16's. Second doses they are behind so if anything I'd be saying they need to up the 2nd dose rate.

Graph below comparing Aus and NZ confirms they have definitely picked up the first dose rate.

Yep, and second dose rate is the reverse of that graph (Australia recently overtaking NZ)

NZ extended Pfizer to 6 weeks which explains the surge in first doses and slump in second doses.

I was looking at the fully vaccinated rate which is behind WA…. Sigh.

No need for WA to speed up vaccinations.Their Premier is happy to keep border closed until April next year.

WA border likely shut until April

West Australia could have its borders shut to the rest of the country for another seven months as Premier Mark McGowan takes a swipe at stranded overseas Aussies.

Covid has been a remarkable economic boom?

Does he work for Pfizer or something?

You'd think the treasurer of a state would happen to understand the concept of how much debt is being created to finance this so-called "boom".
