Completely correct. It's not just a matter of getting a good estimate of the numbers infected. It's also vitally important to get an estimate of the uncertainty of the estimate. We do this all the time in numerical weather and ocean prediction. Even bad observations can be useful so long as we know how good or bad they are. No doubt the epidemiologists have similar systems.

There are two PCR testing sites out my way...unsure how busy.The folks are over from Tas (staying at sisters) and meant go to Ocean Grove for holiday on Thurs for a week...sigh. Kids devastated.
Also had booster booked for tomozTiming is everything...
1 Mooroolbark..Lakeside Drive...Probably busy.
2 Healesville. ....1 .Badger Creek Rd ...this is usually very quiet. It is not always open and you would need to check on this.
If it is open you would have no issues, but obviously a drive for you...
Just looked it up....
Open Wednesday 9.30 to 11.30. Get there at 9 ish and would expect a quick turnaround.
Spot on. Case numbers are the primary data source. Everything else - hospitalisations, deaths, ICU etc - are all derivatives of it.
And a derivative is meaningless unless you know what the primary source that it’s being derived from is.
Yeah I'm Ok cheers mate, little bit fatigued and annoying cough but ok other than that.
Could have picked it up at game outside but more likely in AFL members inside bar for final session or cricketers arms upstairs beer garden for an hr or so post game.
Timing with holidays/kids etc more annoying than what virus is physically causing so far tbh.
nice one cheers P & S
I'm in Forest Hill so not ridiculous. Dare say likely be quicker than trying to find one locally anyhow.
Thanks!
My partners’ parents went to get tested last week. 15 minutes. Just roll up. No appointment needed. Ok they live in Bendigo but cmon …it’s only 90 mins away !
Pop in at the Rifle after if you test negative.
Novax gets a medical exemption. I wonder who granted him that? Money talks.
Could get an interesting reception from the Melbourne crowd, if they turn up to watch him.

What is a Medical Exemption? As in what qualifies for one? He's had Covid, so it it the fact he has antibodies?
This is going to be fun to watch. Every anti-vax nutter now trying to get into the Aus Open to cheer everything Djoker does. While the rest of the crowd, sick to death of all the restrictions Melbourne has endured, while hate the fact he's here and give him a hard time.

'Who let him into Australia?' probably.
FFS Australians not vaccinated can't even enter a restaurant but an unvaccinated bloke from Serbia who just happens to whack a tennis ball well?
No problem mate into the country you come!
I reckon Haiti has a more honest, reputable government than the oxygen thieves in Canberra
All this does is further undermine the health message. Absolute hypocrisy asking people now not to enter anywhere.
If I was an Australian antivaxxer I'd be seriously pissed off with the Feds. Imagine losing your job here because you're not vaxxed & then seeing this joker waltz into the country?
