Re: Back in lockdown again.

Yes jab doesn't mean you can't get it, but likelihood of spreading, ending up in hospital or dying is a lot less (thats the blurb anyway) Here is the blurb from three UK sources which forms the basis of predictions being made in this country: Vaccine Effectiveness 3 British Sources.JPG What has to ...

Re: Back in lockdown again.

I said I would post more info on how Victoria is tracking when more info arrived and things firmed up on our trajectory. No quite their to make any reliable sort of projection but there are some indicative results coming through. A few other credible modellers have been looking at the Doherty Instit...

Re: Back in lockdown again.

Billington's work is exceptional isn't it. Yes Dougie it is excellent particularly considering he hasn't got a biological background (but a strong mathematical one). Like the information I've presented from the European model there are limitations using this type of model which relies on a normal d...

Re: Back in lockdown again.

People have asked me how the situation for our friends across the ditch is playing out. They are even more vulnerable than us in terms of vaccination rates - they have had issues with 'big pharma' and don't want to publicise it as they are over a barrel. Like Victoria it is a bit early to tell but t...

Re: Back in lockdown again.

Yes, ok, here is the link: https://chrisbillington.net/COVID_NSW.html Scroll down and you can see which local government areas are playing the game and who are an issue.

Re: Back in lockdown again.

As I have indicated previously modelling is going on for the outbreaks in both NSW and Victoria. Unfortunately those things aren't being made public. There are confidentiality agreements in place restricting discussion. I support what Bob Hawke said years ago that providing the public with informati...

Re: Back in lockdown again.

I can imagine the shitfight that the hospitals will face when it comes time to open up the country. This is the sort of shitfight they will face. I shouldn't be doing this but people have asked for clarification so ok. I need to state this is NOT the Doherty modelling. It comes from another which i...

Re: Back in lockdown again.

Watch out for the new doomsday variant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLH5rAKj0is&list=WL&index=68 That is a pretty appalling video! I suppose anything to sell news. I'll make three points: 1. The rate of mutation is not a measure of virulence. The nature of the changes determines that; 2. A fast...

Re: Back in lockdown again.

This is a good read on where we are heading. Take note of the dampening effect of a 67% vaccination rate on an outbreak causing hundreds of new cases a day with many not linked:
