Speaking of Sky News...... they have been caught using actors, posing as disgruntled citizens, to slag off certain states. They are also now scrubbing their youtube videos as they have been caught spreading lies and false information on covid ![]() ![]() Its any wonder why people who watch it religiously are always scared and angry at the world.

There have been 162 deaths in NSW this year which is actually a crude CMR of 0.448% but if we factor out the cases in the last 14 days then the CMR is more like 0.92% YTD and that rate has been hovering around the 1% mark since this outbreak began. My modelling (probably a little pessimistic) shows that there will be ~170 deaths from the 18,510 cases recorded in the last 14 days. I've said before, based on UK, Israel and Florida modelling, that the likely 80% of eligible persons vaccinated CMR is going to be between 0.4% and 1% - well less than the global average last year of 2.7%. Worth adding that Victoria has a crude CMR this year of 0.1% so far and the adjusted CMR is 0.28%. Whole of pandemic, Victoria has 25,786 cases and 824 deaths for an overall CMR of 3.2% thanks mostly to the aged care debacle last year. By contrast, NSW has 40,967 cases and 162 deaths for a CMR of 0.53%.

![]() Interesting though, that News Corp is doing a complete 180 on climate change now. I think they see the writing on the wall i.e. real threat to being cancelled.

I managed to move my first jab from 6/10 to next Thursday arvo so good to see those extra doses coming online. Hopefully we come out of lockdown next Friday.
ACT CM has already said we won't be enforcing passports and in any case the vaccination rate is high enough that it provides no incentive. Private business may choose to insist but it will not be required. |

https://www.theguardian.com/environm...eaths-research Another article from Harvard about the same report goes into detail about the approach and models that were used to produce the estimates. https://www.seas.harvard.edu/news/20...iously-thought Precise figures on deaths from pollution are obviously difficult to determine and collect, however the estimates produced by the models were compared to pollution measurements and fatalities over several years and there was a correlation.

Since the latest outbreak vaccination rates have stepped up over the ditch 66% of over 12 year olds have now had at least one shot so steadily getting there
Maori and Pacifica people are supposed to be the most at risk ...and their rates are'nt good

Data valid as at 00:00 GMT September 10th 2021.
Note: As not all Australian States report at the same time, the data below is based on the previous full day reporting. 1,871 new cases for Australia (a new record) and 10 deaths so the CMR is 1.539%. 19 new cases and no deaths for NZ so CMR is 0.698%. The UK had a lower 36,734 cases yesterday and lower 144 deaths for a CMR of 1.869%. A higher 170,160 new cases in the USA yesterday and lower 2,638 deaths sees CMR at 1.624%. Other notable points: Global cases pass 224M, the last 1M in 2 days; Africa moves below the 90th percentile for the 10-day period; North America passes 50M cases; Bermuda (192); Grenada (216); Suriname (575); and Australia (1,871) ... recorded new highs; those in blue for the second consecutive day and those in red for a third or more consecutive day. No countries move above the 90th percentile for the 10 day period while no countries drop below.

NSW records 1,603 cases in the current period (another new high) and the 10-day average growth rate increases slightly to 1.0417 (from 1.0335) while the actual line remains below the predictive trend line but still climbing.
![]() VIC records 450 cases in the current period (a new high for this outbreak) but the 10-day average growth rate decreases to 1.1613 (from 1.1845) while the actual line moves even further above the predictive trend line. ![]()

Was just down at the local farmers market this morning. Absolute chocker blocks. Whilst 99% were masked up, social distancing was out the window. The fear is gone and people are over it. Was obviously council sanctioned as there were a few covid marshals there.
Wouldn't surprise me if there is unofficial "learn to live with it" experiments going on in selective parts of metro melb, which could then give gov some learnings for when they open up.
