That's where the focus has moved. Some new horror story to scare the kids. That and the Russia/Ukraine thing. Russia has been expected to invade within the next hour for almost a week now. It must be draining on these "journalists" having to drag out the same concept with new ideas daily. ![]() |

Kinda have to agree. There was an article a day or two ago now trying to drum up fear about a new omicron variant doing the rounds in Denmark. But you look at the numbers and they dont appear any worse than regular omicron, so must have been a slow news day.

Hey Russ,
Totally appreciate what you are doing here - what would be the chances of adding NZ to your graph populations? Not sure if you have had them going concurrently but now that its picking up here in NZ would be a good visualizer - not really anything around similar to what you are doing? Totally understand if that may be a stretch - can imagine the time involved...

Well, I'm on the covid iso roller coaster once again. My daughter had a bit of a sore throat this morning, and tested positive on two RATs. Why two? Because the first was so faint we weren't sure if she was imagining it or not. So, did a second to see if it was any more obvious. second result was the same as the first: virtually unintelligible.
Came home form work straight away, as my daughter is with me this week and next, and therefore I am a close contact. As I came into town, I noticed the pop-up testing station was open, with no one there waiting to be tested. So, given both results were very weak, decided to get both of us PCR tested. This clinic apparently has fast turn around times, so I'm hoping we have test results back by tomoz. In the meantime, we're both isolating, to be on the safe side. ![]()

I have read before always treat a faint positive RAT as being positive and get a PCR. You have done the right thing.
I'm surprised about the Kiwi cases being 12k today. Where the **** did that come from? I'm out of the loop a bit because last I knew it wasn't that much and they had restrictions where as we had decided to let it rip. In other news the mask mandate has been lifted in the ACT tonight for most settings and I can go back to the office next week ![]() |

We had an email come out yesterday, "inviting" us to go back to the office. I say "invite" because, apparently, we are not allowed to mandate people going back. Offices in Victoria are the only ones that need to show proof of vax before being allowed to return too. I was surprised WA wasn't on that list!

Anyway, we got our pcr results back over night, and both of us are negative. So glad, as I was going to go insane looking after the daughter whilst she was isolating.

The current fortnight of UK data for cases and elapsed mortalities has finished.
There were 2,012,097 cases in the period to 10/2 and 2,066 deaths between 11-25/2 for a CMR of 0.103% which is a third that of the previous period - 0.315% and closer to what it had been however there was a major adjustment to case numbers (+900k) that impacts the data. Thus, in the 210 days since 'freedom day' they have totalled 12,680,065 cases and 31,641 deaths for an overall CMR of 0.250% which is below the 0.277% at day 195. That’s 24.38% of the adult population who have been infected in that time! Here it is graphed - note that the base column at the end is the 2 week period prior to freedom day. ![]() On an annualised basis, that’s 23.73M cases and about 60k (at the average CMR) deaths and just over half of the adult population would get COVID in the year.

Global 27/2/22 (figures up to 26/2/22)
During the last 14 days, global CMR's have mostly been dropping with the global average now at 1.372% compared to 1.424% in the previous period and 2.325% a year ago today. Case number have tapered off significantly with 24.1M in this period compared to 38.2M in the previous period with 135,680 deaths in the last 14 days for a higher CMR of 0.562% on an unadjusted basis. That's only 2.3% more deaths than the previous period and the adjusted CMR based on the previous period case numbers is 0.395% but that's far from an exact science. Note that 'adjusted' CMR uses the case numbers from between 16 and 30 days ago and the mortalities from the last 14 days Overall the increase in cases numbers was 5.6% but the variance in the number of deaths only 2.3% so that's a positive sign. Countries (with <100k cases) that were above 10% growth rate are headed by South Korea (+54.3%); Singapore (+34.0%);Iceland (+30.3%); Vietnam (+22.8%); Japan (+21.8%); Latvia (+20.7%);Austria (+14.7%); Norway (+16.4%); Germany & Denmark (+16.1%);Estonia (+14.7%);Slovakia (+14.4%); Chile (+14.3%); Russia (+13.8%); Indonesia (+13.5%); Réunion (+12.1%); Malaysia (+11.1%); Finland (+10.6%);Jordan & Martinique (+10.3%) plusBahrain, Netherlands & Georgia (+10.0%);. Australia wasn’t far off with 9.3% and although case numbers are below the 100k threshold (this week anyway) both New Zealand (+72.2%) and Hong Kong (+78.6%) had big gains. Very few countries saw their mortalities increase by much with only Japan (+12.8%), Réunion (+11.7%), South Korea (+10.8%), Iceland (+11.5%), Australia (+11.4%), Denmark (+11.0%) and Singapore (+10.6%) having double digit growth amongst countries with >100k cases. Worth noting that along with the big increase in cases, deaths are also up by 56.5% in Hong Kong and it will pass the 100k threshold tomorrow.

Any news on how Clive is doing? Had covid symptoms, apparently tested negative, but was rush to hospital last I heard. He is unvaxxed, fair to say probably in the "at risk" group. Has been a fan of Ivermectin. Wonder if he'll miraculously recover then come out and say he took all these special pills.
