1,193 new 1st vaccinations yesterday, it appears the pace is very snail like for the rest.
I suppose it will only be the when 4 week paid holiday runs out that we might see a boost ?

 

With about 25% of the population the virus can work on unvaccinated.
Mainly, children, but,
Something like 300K in the eligible but won't camp who may be in groups that gather, actively ignore restrictions.

 

So we shall see how this progresses has Auckland reached an equilibrium of cases vs mobility ?

 

Like Victoria seems to be at a steady state, 1100-1200 cases a day, 11,649 active cases.
Hospitalized stuck in 200 to a bit over 300 range

We could have plateaued in the context of a change of settings, although ideally you want a month, two full cycles, and then there is the unique time of the year festive days of Xmas and New Year which will throw things out a bit.

Interesting when you compare Vic and NSW. You get the overwhelming impression that the protests is what separates them. Numbers are creeping up in NSW. As is the case with every Delta wave in the world, you squash it then it slowly creeps back up.

All cards are off the table with Omicron of course, in terms of case numbers, Omicron walks through 2 shots and eats the unvaccinated for breakfast.

It will be interesting to see what happens in Aus, since they are launching their kids roll outs. We look on with anticipation for a hint of what may happen here.
