    PSA for Tassie folk: bookings (registration and actual appointments, you have to do both) are now open for 30s+. Pfizer. Actual jabs start early-mid September. No doctor's notes necessary, though obviously check with them if you have any issues of concern. https://www.coronavirus.tas.gov.au/v...k-your-vaccine , or Tasmanian Public Health Hotline: 1800 671 73 .

    Get in quick before Gladys Berejiklian comes over the Bass Strait on the Ruby Princess and steals them all!

    More an unresolved observation than anything, but on the worldometers.info website, under the countries listing for corona, there are daily new infections/recoveries graphs for each country (orange and green graph). Some countries such as Australia and Canada have 'recovery spikes' that stand out as interesting if nothing else. What caused these recovery spikes, can 'it' be induced to recover more people?

    Your thoughts and assumptions : )

    Not much tbh
    PolAir is doing fly bys 4 times a day in Western Sydney, while over at Bondi the locals & Police don't give a shit.

    Rapid antigen tests are looking interesting. Quick 15min test to see if you have c19. High enough accuracy and more convenient than a pcr. Especially if it didn't involve a long cotton bud swab.

    It's hard to say for the newer spikes, but part of the large spikes last year would be a combination of what defines "recovery" and when that milestone is reported - quite possibly a single day when a lot of the low impact cases were transferred from "active" to "recovered"

    Well Australia's gone from being a poster child for good COVID policy to a basketcase. Super smart delaying NSW lockdown by 10 days, then going in very soft, and allowing people outside the poor areas to flout the rules. Super smart. Thanks Gladys and Morrison.

    Oh the things I'd like to say about the botched lockdown. But also if people would do the right thing, it wouldn't be as bad. Can't trust humans.

    You don't really know what effect, if any, lockdown is having because there is no decernable control group.

    Yes and no. Time will tell. How long did other states wait to lockdown when cases started popping up? How long did NSW take? Hard to close the gates once the horse bolts
