17.19.20 grandiose feelings about an institution which has tangible value to society and quantifiable success in their field, and is demonstrably superior to all alternatives, are normal and healthy
Looks like the Omicron variant is no big deal, less concerning than Delta...perhaps something of a media beat up. Time will tell.
No need for earlier boosters and current vaccine induced immunity should be adequate. Good news.
Probably will become dominant here in time, then to be replaced by another strain. Normal process.
If the current vaccines remain effective that will be great, otherwise boosters targeting newer strains is all that is needed.
Currently in Melbourne CBD...still very quiet. Long way from a return to normal. Melbourne has done the last two years very tough.
But.....Saw Moulin Rouge last night...theatre full. People enjoying life again. Great to see. All fully vaccinated and feeling comfortable about those around them. Light at the end of this tunnel!

I'm waiting for the Pi variant. This will definitely spread around in circles...
You have to be amazed at how well NSW and VIC are going. Burnett Institute modelling was telling us VIC would peak in mid-December at approx. 4,000 daily cases and somewhere between 1,000-1,500 hospitalisations. We are miles below those numbers.
?
Firstly the time people who get hospitalised are spending in hospital is on average much lower than the modelling suggested and secondly the programs that are being run to treat people in their homes (called COVID community pathways) have been really successful in Melbourne in particular.
We are well below it which is a good thing but there are a couple of factors that are leading to reduced hospitalisation other than the raw case numbers.

Isn't that just making sure that people who don't need to be treated at hospital, aren't in the hospital? Which is the way I'd hope the system operates in any circumstance.
No. It is a specific program set up specifically for COVID patients.
The difference is that the patients are cared for in their homes by hospital staff even though they aren’t admitted patients any more.
It was set up to reduce demands on physical beds in hospitals
Fact based journalism matters.
The Age has had weeks to publish these difference in the Bill between Victoria & NSW but has instead chosen not to & fanned the protests of those outside Victorian State Parliament.
Totally irresponsible & shaping the narrative to suit their Liberal leaning agendas.
No wonder readers are abandoning them in droves.

BTW the virus must be rife in Melbourne right now. I played golf a Brighton yesterday next to the testing station & the queues were ridiculously long. I assume most of it would be going through the schools.
It's not going away. Cases at both my kids primary and senior schools. Business partner son has it. Basketball teammate had it. Only person who has been ill was basketball teammate who only had first dose vaccine. He got it bad, everyone else double-vaxed and mild.
Why Victoria's still recording hundreds more daily COVID-19 cases than NSW
While Victoria and New South Wales's daily tallies are still hundreds of cases apart, those watching the numbers closely say the shape of their infection curve largely tells the same story.

The propoganda around the whole issue of Covid has been ridiculous.
My neighbour who is an anti vaxxer (for Covid) actually said to me the other day that if the legislation passes she will move States!! That she doesn't understand that the other States already have this legislation and in many cases WORSE legislation just shows how much crap there is out there for people to read, whether in the newspapers or on the internet.
Tell her that Lightening Ridge is a freedom utopia, with a donald trump impersonator as mayor, and real estate is free.
No surprises here but how many people killed by misinformation?
These are correlations so don’t prove something categorically but death rates and voting percentages in USA would be high quality data.
Spreading misinformation IMO kills people and is morally repugnant. The pure tribalism of it in the USA is truly scary.
Imagine if being a Richmond supporter meant you were pro vax / scientific studies and Essendon meant you were pro injecting random *smile* to help your immune system. Just imagine…..

Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates. Misinformation is to blame
An analysis by NPR shows that since the vaccine rollout, counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump have had more than twice the COVID mortality rates of those that voted for Joe Biden.

120 children hospitalized, province suspends Pfizer vaccine batch - VnExpress International
Thanh Hoa has suspended the use of a Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine batch after over 120 students were hospitalized following their inoculation.

I wonder if it has something to do with storage.
