I read something today that pointed to there being 3 super-spreaders from the hotel quarantine, just 3. No wonder this thing gets out of control so quickly.
Just as an anecdote, one of my partner's siblings is in hospital and another sibling is coming over from interstate, although they don't really understand that the restrictions are such that they won't be visiting in the hospital (people from other states have no idea). Anyway the visiting sibling is bringing kids and the grandparents in law said they could drop the kids around during the day. Say what? They can't drop the kids off during the day, that is precisely how this bloody thing spreads. How do people either not get the rules or just ignore them like this? It is truly astounding.
Bit like wearing a mask not covering the nose mentioned above - wearing a mask and not covering the nose is useless, it is the same as not wearing the mask. Masks do appear to be effective, can't see the mask rules being lifted for a long time to be honest.
The numbers are heading in the right direction at the moment, here's how it looks:
By the numbers:
Date | New Infections | 7 Day Trailing ave | 5 Day Centred ave | 14 Day Trailing ave |
11 October 2020 | 14 | 11.14 | 11.20 | 10.21 |
12 October 2020 | 11 | 10.71 | 9.60 | 10.36 |
13 October 2020 | 5 | 10.71 | 7.60 | 10.00 |
14 October 2020 | 6 | 10.29 | 5.00 | 9.43 |
15 October 2020 | 2 | 9.14 | 3.20 | 9.21 |
16 October 2020 | 1 | 7.29 | | 8.64 |
17 October 2020 | 2 | 5.86 | | 8.07 |
Looking a lot better.
Still, won't be able to have my daughter around for the Grand Final
