OH MY GOD ITS 172 TODAY
cases
that's a good question that i have no answer tooh shit. It’s only going to increase from here .
rip hsc exams
also whats going to happen to your trials?
Delta variant - problematically more infectious...Putting this in perspective, the numbers are still hovering around that of the first wave last year (which peaked around 200+ cases in a day) for NSW and nowhere near Melbourne’s second wave (which peaked around 600+ cases a day).
Why not? So you have a more infectious variant which may impact the dynamics of the situation. However, what matters at the end of the day is outcomes (i.e. number of infections/hospitalisations/deaths) and at this stage they are not at the levels of previous waves.Delta variant - problematically more infectious...
You cant feasibly put it in perspective based off previous outbreaks
Thus more potential to spiral out of control, as it seems to have done...So you have a more infectious variant which may impact the dynamics of the situation
I disagree, using the previous outbreaks as a model to prognosticate future trends etc is rendered useless with the heightened infectiousness of the variant and lack of ability to bring the situation under control, which was not necessarily the case with the earlier outbreaks... Victoria saw 600+ cases in their major outbreak months ago but I would argue that NSW's present situation is even more dire given the nature of the Delta variant.However, what matters at the end of the day is outcomes (i.e. number of infections/hospitalisations/deaths) and at this stage they are not at the levels of previous waves.
Hey just seeing where was this from?
These are Dr Chris Billington's graphs that get posted on reddit.a mate sent it to me from discord
ahh okay thxThese are Dr Chris Billington's graphs that get posted on reddit.
You can find the graphs and methodology here: https://chrisbillington.net/COVID_NSW.html
Just to be clear, I didn’t actually make any inference about future trends based on the previous waves. To clarify, my comparison was purely a statement of the data as of today comparing the outcomes of this wave so far versus previous waves at a similar point in time.Thus more potential to spiral out of control, as it seems to have done...

Pfizer or AZ?i must be the only person here who is fully vaccinated
Medical workers/quarantine households or people with underlying health conditions are some of the options if we are talking Pfizer.Wait how? I thought we can’t get vaccinated until the elderly, health workers, etc. (you know, priorities)
Low platelets/family history of clotting are potential issues for the AZ vaccine. Your GP is one of the better-placed positions to help you make the decision if AZ is suitable for you.Dont know the difference between the two, I just want to get vaccinated
I have a fairly weak immune system and I don’t know what’s going to happen to me if I get covid, so it’s better to stay safe than sorry.
Thanks, I’ll definitely get AZ if its available at my GP : )
pfizerPfizer or AZ?
wait so since i have a health condition, does that mean i’ll be getting pfizer? because my mom was saying i can’t get vaccinated at all due to that reasonMedical workers/quarantine households or people with underlying health conditions are some of the options if we are talking Pfizer.
Otherwise, AZ is fairly available.
The underlying health reason is a fairly strict list, such as having had cancer so unlikely you will qualify but best to discuss with a GP.wait so since i have a health condition, does that mean i’ll be getting pfizer? because my mom was saying i can’t get vaccinated at all due to that reason
