Good article in The Guardian today regarding the figures (NSW)

So because the sheer number of vaccinated people is far larger than the number of unvaccinated people, the total number of “breakthrough” cases outnumbers the number of cases among unvaccinated people.

This also means that total number of severe outcomes is potentially going to be larger. However, when these numbers are put into context as proportions of the total number of people in the state, the protective effect of vaccines is obvious.

When you plot the data as a proportion of cases by age group, you can see that although the risk goes up with age, it also shows vaccinated people of all age groups are less likely to die or require treatment in intensive care if they catch Covid:

Excellent information - thank you.

Karnal -
these are the rules:

(1) leap out of bed every morning with a purpose.
(2) Take vitamins: C, D and also zinc.
(3) get regular exercise.
(4) get your vax shots.
(5) become awesome.

Good point. Bobby, point this out to Jacinda, please. Tell her it doesn't matter what she does with the borders, the chodes will still cower in fear when, instead, they could be going to the shopping malls and being awesome.

I'm sure Jacinda reads this forum.
She waits for our advice every day.

5 deaths reported in South Australia today.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-01-28/five-people-with-covid19-die-in-sa-as-res...

Quote:

Five South Australians with COVID-19 have died in the last reporting period, all of them over the age of 80.

Hospitalisations have dropped to 285 people, including 24 in intensive care and four on ventilators.

The state has recorded 1,846 cases, the lowest daily numbers since the start of the year.

"That's a very positive number," Premier Steven Marshall said.

Density at hospitality venues will double to 50 per cent capacity from midnight and QR code check-ins will no longer be required at retail venues.

Only politicians (and mostly Liberal ones) could possibly try to find something positive in all this.

97 deaths
in the past 24 hours in Australia.

Under dopey Dan in Melbourne -
we went from an extreme lockdown to nothing overnight -
which saw morons packed in like sardines into night clubs -
without masks or proper ventilation.

Idiots thought that - because Dan said it was OK
then it was alright to do that.

Now look at the results and 2 doses of vax gives
almost no protection against Omicron.

No wonder a friend of mine calls Australia "moronia".

He really can't win with you can he.

You endlessly complain during lockdowns, then when he opens up, you complain about that too...

Your friend's "paying attention", Bobby. Omicron here is the biggest in the world.

Marvellous stuff. Tell your friend to stay positive, take his zinc, do 5 chin-ups if he's up for it (just don't strain himself). If he takes your advice he'll be well prepared to take on Omicron.

Tell him to keep some extra tissues in the house and keep his Netflix paid up just in case, otherwise it's all good.

Way to go again, Jacinda. Smiley

Another example of a great leader doing what needs to be done because many people (myself included) have always believed 14 days quarantine was never long enough with COVID-19, especially now with Omicron.
