This bulletin brought to you from the Central West town of Young. I will try to get the data the same time each day so the reports are consistent but there may be some constraints on that depending on where I am but any slight discrepancies will be evened out over time.

BTW Young is the site of the Lambing Flat riots so there is something to google if that interests you. It even has a link to the title of this thread.

It is hard to believe that there are over 2000 deaths each day in the USA. There was a segment on an ABC current affairs program a couple of days ago about Utah. Apparently in Utah the ICU system is overwhelmed by Covid cases and the report told the story of a lady who’s sister died from a heart attack because the ICU was full and she couldn’t receive appropriate treatment. I am not sure of her age but I would estimate in her late 40s.

A very sad story and why it is foolish to let Covid cases get away from you. The Australian and New Zealand experience as well as several Asian countries is “go early and go hard”. This is the only containment strategy that works.

Tier system working!!

Looks like Boris’s much maligned tier system is actually WORKING??
New infections in the northern areas where the infections were high
and where most so called tory rebels resided have fallen by 50%!
What more is needed to prove that lockdowns DOwork!
Good for Boris!!

Donkeyman!

Now there’s a coincidence Donkeyman…:surprised:

But the incidence of new infections has fallen by30% in tier2
as well OGF, so, either the data is being manipulated or the
science is working ??
Myself , l dont think the lock downs are the way to go as far as
beating the virus is concerned, but, due to our limited bed capacity
of the NHS we have to control new infection numbers to the extent
that the NHS never gets overloaded??
especially now that a vaccine is on the horizon!!
However, it does seem fortunate that all comes right just at the
right moment as you point out ??

Donkeyman!

How did we get here?

The border between NSW and Queensland opened today and WA announced that NSW and Victorian residents will be able to travel to that state on 8th December without quarantining.

This is a very pleasing graph showing the number of days since the last new local case of Covid. (Generally - All the cases reported in the daily statistics are returning residents in hotel quarantine).

Or at least it would be good were it not for the fact that we know how quickly the disease can escape into the community from just one person doing the wrong thing.
