Scott3:

Overall trend seems to be declining cases in Auckland, and comparatively increasing cases in other regions. Given the very high vaccination rates in Auckland It seems probable this trend will continue.

The DHB stats show that there are only about 50K people (excl <12) in Auckland who have not had at least one Jab.... ( its about 100K without full dose coverage, again excl <12)

KrazyKid:

The cut-off time may be midnight, but they ministry still won't get those results collated until the next morning after someone starts work.
Then they write the Press Release, add in the vax details, public health messages etc etc

12 hours lag is not to bad when it is really 4-5 working hours.

Kinda what I'm getting at The 'cutoff' currently is 9am. The rest of the report is written up after that, with those figures included. Likely based on previous afternoon/overnight and up until for any more done in the AM - often have some outside that timeframe that are also mentioned. I've never really considered the total a 'today' as they mention it. It's a 'what we tested yesterday and up until they told us at 9am'

Thus 9Am currently means the figures are likely to midnight or when the labs close already (which are probably 24/7). As like you say processing/collating times of the day of release would be a right squeeze to get in given its.. 9am. Sooooo shifting the cutoff time backwards seems kinda odd if they are also needing to move to a modeled approach as a result rather than actual. When the tally is essentially likely the same. The previous days 24hr cycle. Just now minus whatever is updated/confirmed in the AM till 9 too.

Voices for Freedom seem to be going all out with their leaflet drops - I saw two lying in the wet grass in separate places on my way to the park. Took great pleasure in throwing them both in the bin. One about the vaccine for children not being safe and the other one about how masks don't work.

One of the lines on there that stood out cracked me up - went along the lines of "this is not medical advice...this is information only", lol, more like misinformation!

MikeB4:
If your statement is accurate, then logic tells us that the government should not be even thinking about opening our international border. If they think we can "live" with Covid they are dreaming, decades of severe mismanagement of our health services means we cannot deal with it. The ministers has handed out some lose change this week which is too little (no pun intended) too late.

NZ is living with Covid as it has no alternative.

Funny how all the complaining about the majority of MIQ facilities being in Auckland and how they are carrying so much more risk for the country...

Good luck Christchurch, you're going to need it...

they still them a domestic planeload at a time (and we got direct flights from SQ still too)

But watch the testing/jab rates jump. As long as they in the border setting vs home and protocols followed (lol?) then won't breach.

I think these two Graphs of Reff in NSW are very interesting. Sydney vs Newcastle (Hunter Region).

Newcastle is where Omicron has some pub superspreader events first. It seems clear to me where Omicron is more active currently.

Saying that Sydney's Reff has be increasing over the past few days so Omicron is clearly there as well.

Probably. Same will apply to every other MIQ town, as most cases will end up being Omicron not Delta in a fairly short time

if anyone thought that the media would be measured and not get hysterical when Omicron gets to NZ you only have to hear the questions they are asking Bloomfield to know that wont happen.

Common sense is not as common as you think.

When you think you're buying the dip but it's actually just the start of the crash : r/RobinHoodPennyStocks

But honestly I am believing that since they were moved to a quarantine side and they won't be allowed out of rooms until they test negative as per protocol. We should be okay.

Game on. Rock n Roll. A timely test for our best border systems. We have been waiting for it, now that 98% of cases in Gauteng are omicron, and the peak has stalled, we are getting a sense of a insanely fast spread, manageable with some herd immunity whether from a recent Delta wave or vaccination, however at least one South African virologist thinks that the suggestion of a milder disease is completely wrong.

If that virologist is right, it will smash the antivaxxers here within the most intense month any of us have ever seen. then rappidly go into decline.

Just keep swimming...

For some good news. We have about 2.5M vaccine doses in storage available for distribution.

My 6 months after second dose came up late in November (was jabbed ahead of my age band due to association with MIQ worker - Military) and I was going to wait an extra month or two for the booster to more closely align to others that I cross paths with at work, but because the 5 - 11 year olds will hopefully be starting in January I thought better to just sort it now while there is plenty of capacity at the vax centres, and not be in their way then.

Had the booster last Saturday. Bit of a sore arm for a day but no headache this time
