15 new cases yesterday for Australia (11 in NSW) and 5 deaths so the CMR is up to 1.319% although the active case percentage did drop to 14.7%.
2 new cases for New Zealand and zero deaths so the CMR drops to 1.289%. Bad news for the UK after they finally added the aged care related COVID19 deaths (approx 3,900) which raised the CMR to 15.795% which surpasses the previous high held by Belgium to be the worst of the statistically significant countries. The USA had under 20k new cases, the best it's been for awhile but almost 2,500 deaths so the CMR rose to 5.722%. In other words, the time for complacency isn't here yet. Russia will likely pass the 100k case mark today and the USA now has almost a third of all cases globally.

No doubt the USA has many cases, but I think the individual members of the EU should be treated as one combined statistic - they are after all forever harping on about being United.
You'll find the EU is way ahead of the USA in deaths/cases. |

We're all in this together, yet you've never been as busy as you are now? You are just like everyone else who is not affected financially or emotionally with the loss of an income or incomes and piling mountains of debt. You sound just like the people who make these decisions, the politicians and government workers who are completely unaffected financially while destroying the lives of millions, based on a virus which 95% of the population will get over without any major complications. Get off your high horse, you're attitude is disgraceful. Show some empathy for those who are about to or have lost everything. Tell me, why has the government sank millions for additional funding for the domestic violence helpline and lifeline? Fortunately for me, I'm like you, I get to sit in my ivory tower not affected what so ever but do have empathy for those who've lost lives and lost jobs.

Sloppy on our part not to have a couple of other countries atleast join in the chorus at the same time. In saying that we need to stand firm, stick to facts, and let them make fools of themselves.

Like you said stand firm, be objective about it and be prepared to call their bluff if we have to. I suspect it will all fizzle it out though. |

Since when is the EU a country? It's not. I've separately listed the continents but for those not paying attention here is that graph currently. ![]() This compares percentage of global population with percentage of cases and percentage of deaths. The key takeaways: Europe has a 21.4% higher population base than North America. North America is rapidly closing the gap to Europe for number of cases and will pass them in the next week or so even though you'd expect Europe to be 21% higher. In terms of cases per 100k of population, Europe is at 185.2 and North America at 197.2 so whatever way you cut it their case rate is higher. Europe does have twice the number of deaths that North America has so in that sense their performance is worse. The rate per 100k is 17.9 for Europe and 11.5 for North America. Both are underperforming in terms of infections although Europe is worse. North America has 7.4% of the global population but 35.6% of the cases and 29.2% of the deaths. Europe has 9.5% of the population but 42% of the cases and 58.5% of the deaths. South America is about level in terms of cases with 5.4% of the population and 5.1% of the cases and ahead in deaths with only 3.55%. Africa, Asia and Oceania are all well ahead of the curve. Africa has the least cases per 100k (3.06) followed by Asia (11.06) and Oceania (21.73). The order is slightly altered for deaths per 100k with Africa (0.13) still leading ahead of Oceania (0.282), Asia (0.398) and South America (1.91).

There are no key takeaways until the denominator is known.

If we had at least the G8 countries or even better the G20 unified on this then the pressure is much more. |

I must be bored but I've been playing this little game every time I open this thread.
So I scroll down slowly to each different post but only far enough that I see the text but not the 'thanks' at the bottom, then I guess who's given it 'thanks'. Im getting pretty good at it now, so predictable. |

We are all in this together. My personal situation- the breakdown is in my immediate family 3 of my household have suffered significant financial impact as a result of Covid 19, with significantly reduced work for 2, and inability to acquire work for the 3rd in her area due to this virus. I am the only one who to date has not been impacted on. This is because my work NOW is based on what was going on some 1.5 to 2 years ago in the economy. However, I will be significantly impacted in 1.5 to 2 years from March 2020 and will have significant work reduction then based on the shutdown that occurred back then. Everything is connected. So it is in my interests for the Australian marketplace to open up asap and things like Covidsafe are an exceptionally important tool to enable this. We obviously have different perspectives which are clearly laid out in our respective posts, evidencing what ethics and morality and compassion we have for society- both in terms of keeping the Australian Covid 19 mortality rate down for the old and vulnerable and for keeping the economy open and pumping.
