In my family we have a common joke about Australia being the land of Inquiries- its just the way it is here. Anything out of the ordinary on the news there are hoots about need for an inquiry.....

So it was natural with Covid 19 Australia shoots from the hip- we need an Inquiry.

Cultural divide is now an ever increasing chasm- Australia sees the need for an inquiry into Covid 19 (like a natural function akin to using toilet paper for a no 2) China sees as a personal vindictive vicious attack.

Interesting times in the world.

9 new cases for Australia and 2 deaths so the CMR rises to 3.191% while active cases drop to 1,671. NSW recorded 1 case, WA 3, SA recorded 1 with the balance in Victoria. The Victorian State 14 day moving average is now 29.57 with metro at 26.7 (37 unknown) and regional at 1.1 and no unknown cases.

3 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.368% and active cases rise to 65.

The UK had 6,634 new cases yesterday, the highest since April and they have implemented a 2nd lockdown. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore those figures.

Just over 41.5k new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,115 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.894% and active cases drop to 35.5% with the raw numbers falling slightly. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
Global new cases set a daily high of 316,036;
Europe recorded a new daily cases high of 61,236 - almost 10k higher than the previous mark;
The USA completes 101M, India 67M, and tests;

Lebanon (1,027), Poland (1,136), Netherlands (2,544) and Indonesia (4,634)all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

Russ,

Does that 6 need a 1 in front of it?

Can I make a request that you add a reporting date to your update

I can add a reporting date. The 6 is based on the number that is in the global data set but it is only applicable at the time of day and varies based on the time I do it which was earlier than normal today. It is currently at 9 so I'll update the data. Ideally, they need to be done about this time of day as most of the data is in by about 11:00 our time.

Hey Russ, out of interest, how come you’re a day behind with your reports?

Because these are global data sets and the rest of the world doesn't run to our time.

As noted earlier, if I compile them before about 11:00 our time, a lot of the South American data isn't in so while the individual country data is based on the previous day (using GMT), the continent data is based on the last complete day which will be, for example, the 24th September today.

This is further complicated by the fact that whereas most countries are reporting from 00:00-23:59 as their day, we've chosen to make the Australian reporting period inconsistent with some States ending their day at 20:00 or 21:00 while others, like Victoria close each 24 hour period at 10:00.

Russell, would it be possible for your daily update to be about midday and split Australia/Rest of the world? The VIC daily update data is released closer to 11:00am. And when they are, the numbers don't match with your daily update.

**Plus, since the borders are closed and we can't travel overseas, who cares about the rest of the world anyway??

Ungrateful much?...

And... There ARE people that view this forum that live in other parts of the world!

WHAT??? Ungrateful? For from it matey.

If you have been reading the thread you would have seen me occasionally posting the VIC daily numbers within an hour or so of Russell's daily update. The VIC update data is usually released about an hour after Russell does his daily update about 10:00am. Since VIC's position is the main focus point in Australia, I was merely making a suggestion so the Australian numbers would be accurate at the time of Russell doing his daily update.

If Russell is unable to, that's is perfectly fine. It's not a big drama. But maybe drama is something you seem to thrive on eh??

In Minnesota the CDC attempted to do a door to door survey to determine how far the virus had spread and who had been infected. The survey had to be halted due to multiple incidents of intimidation, racial slurs and threats.

2 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 1.367% and active cases fall to 60.

The UK had 6,873 new cases yesterday, the highest since April and they have implemented a 2nd lockdown. We know they are now not counting their mortalities by the WHO guidelines so we are going to ignore those figures.

Just over 45.5k new cases in the USA yesterday and 924 deaths sees CMR drop to 2.888% and active cases drop to 35.4% with the raw numbers rising slightly. Note that the USA is actually minus one day due to time differences.

Other notable points:
The global new case high from yesterday was reduced below the level of the previous high;
Europe recorded an amended daily case high of 57,782;
The USA completes 102M, India 68M, Russia 44M, UK 23M and Belgium 3M tests;
Asia passes 10M cases;

Denmark (678), Lebanon (1,143), Poland (1,587), Netherlands (2,777 for 5 days in a row), Ukraine (3,827), Indonesia (4,823) and Argentina (13,467 the day before yesterday) all recorded new daily highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

The graphs for today are ones we haven't looked at for awhile, the case and mortality rates per 100k adults for selected countries:





... and the CMR by continent where our region (Oceania) has fallen below Asia and Africa and is only just below the global average -



... and the CMR for selected countries which also shows Australia slightly above the global average -



... and the test percentages (based on adult population) for selected countries -



.. and the tests per identified case where Australia is still way out in front of most countries which suggests that we are possibly close to knowing what the real infection rate is -

Marathon runner unable to breathe properly months after COVID-19: 'Like being on your deathbed'

Just as Fox's health began to show positive signs, her post-viral syndrome began to target her heart.

Seven weeks after the original infection, the fit and healthy 36-year-old felt like she was about to have a heart attack.

"My fingers all swelled up, my heart rate went to over 120 bpm," Fox shares.

"And my heart rate stayed like that for five-and-a-half months after that initial infection."

Two weeks ago, Fox began urinating blood. Among her ongoing symptoms is muscle pain, tremors and sharp stabbing pains in her lungs.

"My lungs, my heart and now my kidneys have been affected by this. I still can't talk properly," she says.

She's part of the statistics that "recovered" tho. Anyone have any guesses as to her life expectancy? Think she'll lead a full life?

No it wont, she works in medical sales, but that wasn't the question that was asked and I was answering.

You got caught in the click bait headline and didn't read the article I guess.

Just for interest - sounds a lot like the way some people have long lasting issues from the flu

So much we don't know about the long term effects. Seems like every part of the body is affected, strange new stuff

But when will she resign from parliament,doesn’t say immediately!!

[cheap]

+700 people dead.

Manslaughter charges likely.

Department heads run things.

Politicians love publicity, often forget what they say but it’s all on video tape.

Sit back and watch them eat their own.

Jenny the first domino to fall.

It is a shame other ministers and senior public officials along with the Premier has not resigned.
I sincerely hope more will follow soon.

That is a silly view. What good is that going achieve. We need a stable government to get us out on the other side. Not a government ripped to shreds to please the Murdoch press and Liberal fan boys. Lets not forget Victoria prior to the pandemic had the nations leading economy.

This just shows how incompetent the red raggers are when a bit of pressure is applied.While everything was rolling along just fine with the commo party riding on the libs prior achievments.But when a bit of leadership is needed the whole thing falls into a disastrous hole.Just imagine where the country would be if the labor party was trying to get the nation back on track.

What let a dysfunctional team keep on destroying peoples lives with their mismanagement, you can be Dans fan boy but I'm certainly not.
I just hope some other ministers in his government has got the guts to stand up and get rid of the loon.

[Romulus]

The Victorian government saying it doesn't know who was responsible is deceptive. Of course they know.
Someone awarded the contract for payment to the security company.
That requires a signature or authorisation.
That signator has a department head or manager.
Simply follow the chain of command or hierarchy.

We're not all a bunch of fools.

Wow I don't know why I bother checking up on this thread. Some of you need to get a life start a hobby or do something with yourselves. All over a virus that affects +99% people no worse than a flu, just like my extended family overseas.

Then spare us from your supercilious attitude and don't bother.

In short, no. You (and the rest of the country) have ready access to the AU data and the figures for VIC 14 day averages are correct for the day posted. You may not care about the rest of the World but it helps keep perspective.

I can see how my question may have come across as being unappreciative. Forgot to use the word 'please' there. But ok, not a problem. Appreciate you keeping us updated.

Russ, I think you may have missed the fine print underlined above. Was a cheeky comment made in tone with a certain forum member, who's comments come across as very self-centred. Most definitely not a case of not caring about the rest of the world from my side. Having family and friends living/working in just over 20 different countries around the world atm, quite the opposite actually.
