Holy smokes... 20,000 here we come....no turning back now.
Better hope Omnicron does turn out to be less severe than its predecessors, and that it doesn't present something more sinister further down the track. Looks like face nappies will be back on at the MCG :((((((

Back to back records for ACT with 85. Testing sites jammed. They really need to get rid of casual contact sites and also remove PCR tests that some states have. Just clogging **** up.

They never really went away here. We still had to use them in retail spaces. Not that everyone was doing that, but.....

If we ever get symptoms sufficient enough for us to be concerned we can take a quick test at home to see whether we need to follow up with a proper test. It's just a way of avoiding having to sit in a car for hours at our local test centre if it turns out unnecessary. Plus there is talk that chicken lady will be changing the requirements to allow a rapid antigen test instead of the demanded PCR test for entry into Qld. Travellers could be stocking up in preparation. https://www.news.com.au/travel/trave...dbcf7417ef127e |

But interested in the travel bit. Like how will officials know your results are genuine? Do you bring the coloured "strip" to show them? And whats to say you didn't run the test on someone else. ![]() I must say, I'm really surprised that we are still seeing 10s of thousands of people willing to line up for hours to get tested, excluding holiday makers.

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 5,531 new cases for Australia (another record high) and 8 deaths so the CMR is 0.817%. NSW (3,763), Queensland (186), Tasmania (26) and SA (85) all set new daily highs again yesterday (22/12). 58 new cases for NZ and no deaths so CMR is 0.361%. The UK had 105,330 cases yesterday m(another record) and 140 deaths for a CMR of 1.267%. 213,063 new cases in the USA yesterday and 1,630 deaths sees CMR at 1.589%. That's the first day over 200k since January. Other notable points: (weekend reporting) Global cases pass 277M, the last 1M in 1 day; Global cases pass 800k for the first time since May this year; Europe sets a new daily case high with 470,014 cases; North America goes over the 90th percentile for the 10-day period; Russia passes 300k (official) deaths; Greenland (213); Iceland (372); Malta (582) - the previous high on 10/3/21; Nigeria (2,123) - the previous high on 21/1/21; Finland (2,877); Ethiopia (2,992) - the previous high on 1/4/21; Kenya (3,328); Réunion (4,558); Australia (5,531); Vietnam (16,555); Spain (60,041); France (84,272); and United Kingdom (105,330) .... recorded new highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day.

![]() Chicken lady changes direction like a fart in the wind. It could be something she's said just to placate other state governments given how many people are testing just to get into Qld. I'm sure I saw an article earlier this week that said something like 160,000 people have travelled here since the border opened and there are still 200,000 border passes that have been issued. That's a fu*k load of tests. All of who have to be retested 5 days after arrival. Make that a double fu*k load of tests. Like you I'm stunned at the testing numbers. I cant understand what would make someone wake up at 5am drag the whole family into a car to sit in a line for 5 hours in the sun to get a test that has no real basis for needing. The only thing I can think of is the scaremongering by the media and messages from the government. Got everyone running scared and in a panic. |

And density limits. Even Vic hasn't gone there yet.....probably influenced by the Aus Open looming in the background.
Reckon the 10% jump in hospitilisations overnight may have prompted a rethink. That and businesses now saying people are cancelling bookings due to the surge in case numbers. In the UK people are tending to stay home even though no lock down have been imposed.

I see on Yahoo News NSW are contemplating billing unvaccinated who are admitted to hospital.
"But the premier on Monday said of 33 in the ICU on that day, 26 were unvaccinated people. It is not immediately clear how many of Wednesday’s ICU patients are unvaccinated. According to the Medical Journal of Australia, the average cost for an ICU bed is $4375."

Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 8,370 new cases for Australia (another record high) and 11 deaths so the CMR is 0.796%.

The logic is obviously based on the fact that they could 'probably' have avoided the need for hospitalisation if they were vaccinated although that's certainly not a 100% guarantee but then do we: Charge RTA victims if they were speeding or careless? Charge smokers if they get a smoking related illness? Charge anyone who has ever had a drink if they get a related illness? Charge the overweight if they get a related illness? Those 4 things add up to about 50k or a third of our annual death toll but closer to 40% of our hospitalisations - although sometimes the 'contribution' is a bit tenuous which is a problem in itself!

The year isn't quite over yet but I was just comparing the annual data 2020 to 2021 on a global basis.
In 2020, over the 9 months that the pandemic really ran for there were 83.5M cases reported and 1.935M deaths for a CMR of 2.3064%. In 2021 (with a week to go), the year has seen 194M cases (+231%) and 3.453M deaths (+178%) for a CMR of 1.7763%. The difference in those CMR numbers resulted in 1,030,441 people not dying, largely due to the vaccination programs along with better treatment protocols. In our little microcosm, the numbers are a bit more stark given how bad the impact was of the aged-care debacle in 2020. 2020 saw 29,707 cases and 910 deaths for a CMR that was poor by global standards, of 3.063%. This year to date, we've had 258,346 (8.7x more) cases and 2,181 deaths (1.4x more) for a much better than the global average CMR of 0.492%. Just as well we didn't have the same CMR as last year becasue that would have resulted in another 6,643 deaths or about triple the number we actually had.
