Coronavirus 4 - Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[nomadjack]

Would be interesting to know the breakdown of hospitalisation by variant. In Victoria my understanding is that Omicron has only just become dominant in the last few days. Given the 1-2 week lag between case numbers and hospitalisation, can we assume the rise in hospitalisations are partly due to the tail end of the Delta wave and that the current trend line in hospitalisations due to the increased transmissibility of Omicron will plateau as Delta is out competed?

Not if new case numbers keep doubling every couple of days. Obviously, there will be an end to the exponential increases - but when will that be?

I would not be Shocked IF some more Restrictions come back shortly.

As they want to try and Stop Big Gatherings

And that’s the thing Dave, if people had any common sense they would have to try and stop big gatherings, they just would not be happening!

Not going to happen, they've already knocked back Suttons recommendations, Dan won't be first to blink, he'll be watching NSW.

There's fewer people in hospital in Vic with Covid than there was 2.5 months ago and a lot less in ICU and on ventilators. Numbers will increase before they go down again but should stay manageable.

Delta got into the lungs and fvcked people up, Omicron tends to stay more in the nasal passages as an upper respiratory infection so even with exploding case numbers it's unlikely that ICUs will have capacity stretched

Last 2 Days the ICU Cases have Gone Up and same with People in Hospital

[stui magpie]

2 days doesn't make a trend, ICU are lower than 7 days ago

Or maybe their GP $@&^# up and forgot to order? There’s 20 million doses in the country which is enough to cover everyone’s boosters.

[stui magpie]

And?

3 months ago it was 1500, then steadily went down to stay around 500 for a while then has just spiked hard in the past 7 days. Most of those hospitalization will be in and out quickly, expect numbers to start going down again in a few weeks

In NSW, half of the hospital admissions aren't COVID related.

"The state’s Health Minister has revealed that many of those listed as having being “hospitalised” for the virus are simply testing positive in routine checks after being admitted for broken bones, labour pains or even mental health issues."

The milder Omicron means that these people wouldn't even have presented to hospital if not for another reason.

Good pickup and correct

What's a big mass gathering?

50 people? 100? 250?, a high school?

[Dark Beanie]

No RATs, long lines for PCR tests, what a shermozzle.

Going to be an interesting couple of weeks.

At least in lockdown you knew where things were at. At the moment playing COVID roulette.
