NZ covid case data?

 

MOH previously(?) published a daily updated csv file with limited cumulative case details (imported vs local, age band, gender).  Last one I downloaded was mid-April ("covid_cases_2021-04-12.csv"), but I can no longer file a link to the dataset.

 

Anyone here know if it is still available?  If so, where?

 

Or is this yet another case of further restricting public access to information?

 

==

 

Yes, I know researchers can email and request data (likelihood of getting it?).  But hopefully there is still a readily accessible basic list as previously published. 

 

 

 

 

I recall he stated that they update the website each day with gender, ethnicity and so on, maybe its web only now and not a csv?

GV27:

 

We are seeing new LOIs post-lockdown, however, in places that provide essential goods. That's something we haven't seen before. 

 

Given that the entire NSW cluster started from a single case, it's hard to imagine that Auckland will move alert levels while we still have new LOIs popping up from the post-lockdown period. 

 

 

Do we know that? They are being released post lockdown but are the cases infected after lockdown? I'm sure some have, due to asymptomatic going to the supermarket, but I dont think we have numbers. While its not been reported, Dr A said he has a team extracting cases to pre and post lockdown infection. Maybe that's not sensational enough I guess. Thats a crucial metric IMO. Much as like we have had say 30 cases today and all are already in MIQ, that's what we need pre and post lockdown.

 

 

Easy to find that info https://www.health.govt.nz/our-work/diseases-and-conditions/covid-19-novel-coronavirus/covid-19-health-advice-public/contact-tracing-covid-19/covid-19-contact-tracing-locations-interest

 

Yes, mostly supermarkets etc, but others also.  a few bus trips, Seaworld Fisheries Otara, etc

Downloadable version appears to have gone. But there are more inclusive graphs

stats NZ link has the cumulative increase on a bar. But not the breakdowns it seems.

On the Government’s Covid-19 website, people are asked not to go swimming, surfing, boating, hunting or do any other outdoor activities at alert level 4

 

In my view this is quite clear. Hunting is a clue as is any other outdoor activities. We all know its exercise only, the terms aren't that loose (in fact they cover everything but exercise) but they are being exploited. Police fail

 

Stay at home, the stated essential services, or exercise locally is ALL that is allowed

 

 

I think the problem is that people are *asked* not to, not *told*.

Thanks. 8 days in. Id hope that these are ore lockdown cases, got round to a test, got results a day or so later, got called for POI info, so maybe most are pre lockdown related?

The dates in the third column go up to Sun 22 Aug (3 days ago), and are the dates when the LoI was visited by an infected person, not when the infected person was tested or got test results back.

 

Presumably there is a ~2-3 day lag between visit and a person getting a positive result, being interviewed and the LoI published.  So it seems likely there will continue to be new LoI's with even more recent post-lockdown dates notified as new people test positive.

Yes, aware of that.  But I was specifically after the csv file data.

 

NSW might have botched their response but at least they continue to provide updated, 'detailed' information if the type that was in the MOH csv file.

Plus the lag from infection date to a decision to get a test? Shorter for any that got a test based on having been to a LOI.

I wonder how many people are taking the "opportunity" to do a Computer Backup during the Lock Down?

In my view this is quite clear. Hunting is a clue as is any other outdoor activities. We all know its exercise only, the terms aren't that loose (in fact they cover everything but exercise) but they are being exploited. Police fail

Actual order is here:

 

https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regulation/public/2021/0210/latest/whole.html#LMS536774

 

Politicians & covid-19 website seems to often either over simplify, or get it outright wrong. Police can only enforce the order, not what politicians say at press conferences...

 

 

 

You will see under section 16 (e), "other recreation" is allowed, given the listed conditions are met.

I've taken the opportunity to fully patch up some servers which we usually have to do late at night :D

HelloThere: Rule change for hot drinks

Sounds like a loop hole. Nzers love to find loopholes. But people should know what is right and wrong, and food shops and cafes are not open. Even for takeaway.
