In Russia, experts are challenging official pandemic figures as too low. They refuse to be silenced.
Medical workers transfer a patient from an ambulance at an area reserved for coronavirus cases at the Kommunarka Hospital outside

Yesterday at 6:00 a.m. EDT
MOSCOW — Unshaven and puffy faced, with tubes in his nose, a patient in a hospital’s coronavirus “red zone” recorded a desperate message for Russians.
“I turned my life and my health into a disaster,” said Innokenty Sheremet, 55, who is from the Ural Mountain region city of Yekaterinburg and came down with covid-19 after forgoing vaccination.
“I turned into an infirm old man,” he continued, describing “terrible pain from any movement.” Many employees at his TV news agency also became infected. Sheremet survived, but his news service collapsed.
In Russia, a “fourth wave” of coronavirus is setting records in daily infection and death numbers, according to official statistics.
But the truth is far worse, say independent demographers and data analysts who are challenging the pandemic data issued by President Vladimir Putin’s government and who, in turn, are facing retribution from authorities. At least three top researchers have been dismissed or have resigned from their posts in government or at state universities amid pressure from bosses.
Russia’s official statistics showed 221,313 pandemic-related deaths by mid-October, but the independent demographer Alexey Raksha calculated that excess mortality — seen by analysts as the most reliable indicator of coronavirus deaths — has reached around 750,000. Raksha’s calculation used figures maintained by Rosstat, Russia’s statistical agency. Meanwhile, a report in the Moscow Times estimated the figure at about 660,000.
Russian independent analysts say officials manipulated statistics and underplayed the crisis, most likely for political reasons — claims that have been made about governments in other countries, including China and Turkey. Critics alleging data manipulation by governments say the practice is an obstacle to a full global reckoning of the pandemic’s reach.

The Russian Ministry of Health and Rospotrebnadzor, the government agency that publishes daily coronavirus numbers, did not respond to requests for comment on allegations of low counts. Russian official statistics exclude many deaths of patients with the coronavirus where doctors judge another major factor was to blame, such as heart failure.
“The data for is absolutely unreliable,” said Alexei Kouprianov, an independent analyst and biologist who last year organized a community of experts on social media, Watching Covid. He was fired from the St. Petersburg campus of the Higher School of Economics in September 2020.
As Putin’s government tightens political control in the country, the handling of the pandemic has largely been left to the regions. The pandemic has exposed fragilities in a system in which regional officials conceal problems for fear of losing their posts and critics — even analytical experts — are sidelined.
Before the pandemic, life expectancy in Russia was 73 years, whereas it was 84 in countries including Australia, Italy and Spain, and its spending on health care was 5.6 percent of GDP compared with 16.8 percent in the United States and more than 10 percent in Japan and much of Europe, according the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Russia’s baths hold onto communal spirit in age of social distancing
Russian authorities say their handling of the pandemic has been better than the performance of many Western countries. But with 43 million Russians fully vaccinated by Oct. 14, according to the Health Ministry, about 30 percent of the 144.4 million population, Russia’s vaccination rate is one of the world’s lowest, according to data from the Britain-based Global Change Data Lab. Russia’s rate compares with 56 percent in the United States, 65 percent in Britain and 72 percent in Canada.
Recently, official Russian rhetoric has shifted. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Oct. 11 that mortality rates were high because of the “unacceptably low level of vaccination,” adding that “all conditions have been provided to citizens to save their lives by getting inoculated.”
Since Russian parliamentary elections last month, officials and state media have amplified warnings about the dangers of the coronavirus. The daily coronavirus death toll hit a record 1,002 on Friday, and the country surpassed 33,000 daily infection cases, according to state-approved figures.
“Actually, excess mortality now is more than 2,000 people each day on average,” claimed the demographer Raksha, who was fired by the official statistical agency Rosstat last year for exposing alleged undercounting of daily deaths by the reporting agency Rospotrebnadzor.
“Hospitals are overloaded,” said Andrei Konoval, the head of the independent Union of Medical Workers. Ambulance drivers were ordered to work 24-hours shifts in Yekaterinburg, the independent Znak media reported. Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko on Thursday called on retired doctors to return to work.
Putin’s vaccine puzzle: Why the secrecy over his jab?
Denis Protsenko, a pro-Kremlin chief of one of Moscow’s main covid-19 hospitals, sounded the alarm Friday, calling the situation “close to critical.”
“Guys, the coronavirus is not a joke or a fiction. It is surprising that in the second year of the pandemic, people still need to be convinced of this,” he said, calling on medical colleagues to “start talking in a frank and unadorned way to our compatriots.”
Raksha said he thinks that inaccurate statistics sent a message to Russians that the pandemic had been beaten and therefore left space for covid conspiracy disinformation and anti-vaccination propaganda to flood Russian social media.
“In Russia, the covid dissidents won,” he said

Kouprianov said covid dissidents targeting the Watching Covid social media page often cited official statistics to argue that “nothing special is happening.”
Raksha says he never uses Russia’s official daily statistics on infections and deaths, and “I don’t recommend anyone to do it.” In Russia, a regional official typically “just draws a line by hand to flatten the curve,” he said. “They are just making up numbers, literally.”
Russia’s official coronavirus numbers are relatively low. Even Moscow’s mayor is questioning the count.
One of his prized possessions is a Soviet statistical yearbook from 1987, one of only 100 copies from the period in 1974 to 1988 when demographic statistics were kept secret. He sees a parallel now: The few Russians who follow the social media pages of reliable independent analysts can find a more accurate picture.
Another independent data expert, Alexander Dragan, monitors regional coronavirus surges by tracking searches on Yandex, Russia’s search engine, and on Google. The correlation with excess mortality has been striking, he said.
Tatiana Mikhailova an economist and expert in data analysis, formerly of the prestigious Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, discovered a pattern in many Russian regions’ reporting on daily cases. Instead of the familiar pandemic curve, the overall case numbers swung wildly in regional reports. Numbers for the main city in region went up one day and the rest of the region’s numbers went down — as if the city and the wider region were taking turns in experiencing surges.
Now booming on Moscow’s black market: Fake vaccine certificates
“I discovered this strange pattern in many regions that basically told me that the official statistics are lying,” she said. “They just underreport the cases that they have so as not to show the growth of cases.”
After she published her graphs, the academy blocked her from giving interviews, and she resigned rather than be silenced.
“If you are working on issues that are critical for society, you have to speak to the press because you have to make your results known to the public,” Mikhailova said. “I think it’s your duty as a scientist.”
Doctors are afraid to speak out about the crisis, said Semyon Galperin, the head of the Doctors’ Defense League, an independent association. He said the crisis was sharpened by Russian health system reforms under which more than half the nation’s hospitals and clinics shut down between 2000 and 2015 and thousands of medical workers left the profession.
“The result of these reforms is a broken system,” he said. Unreliable information about the pandemic and vaccines made it worse, he added.
“We don’t know what is going on. Nobody can say what the exact situation is,” he said. “Nobody trusts anyone anymore.

Some people object to an all-purpose national ID card. Besides it can all be done with smartphones these days so it might be time to declare them an essential service as we go forward considering the increasing digitisation of society.
Yet nearly all of them have a smart phone or go online with a computing device.
Our statistics here on deaths are likely to be reasonable, allowing for the dying with/dying of COVID argument.
However, our stats on cases have quite a lot of unreliability built in. As far as I know, there was no area anywhere that did blanket testing to get a snapshot at any one time. So our case numbers here
do not count most of the asymptomatic. For many months you could only get a test if you had or claimed to have symptoms – I read the webpage of instructions for going to get a test locally here. Or if you were contacted as a Tier 1 or Tier 2 contact.
I’m sure there were cases who had symptoms of variable intensity who didn’t go for testing or felt too unwell to go for a test (but just survived at home anyway) or couldn’t get to a test. Many testing stations were drive through only. This removes the opportunity for people who don’t drive to get tested. And really, if you think you might be carrying a contagious disease, should you be using public transport to go for a test?
It’s pretty complicated, but then stats usually are.
How about a vaccination card with a chip that lists all your vaccinations?
Too easy to forge. How about they just insert a chip with each vaccination? That way vaccination status can be determined with a simple hand-held scanner.
But the problem is really societal. In ye-olden times (the ’70s) the population would get vaccinated because it was the right thing to do and if the wallopers had to be sent in to encourage the hesitant to perform their societal duty, then so be it.
Unfortunately, politicians have proven themselves to less than trustworthy and people have grown more selfish and here we are.

In NSW you’ve been able to get tested regardless of symptoms for many months.
But that was not the case at the beginning? I think the last time I checked the webpage here it was still saying that you would be questioned when you got there to see if you were eligible for a test. Although I admit that I haven’t looked for a few months, and they may have just not bothered to update it.
I can’t see anything similar on the NSW website. If I found the right one.
They ask you why but don’t turn anyone away if the answer isn’t one they want.
I imagine the worried well go prepared with a symptom or two anyway. My father would have had to go for testing every week he was such a worrywart. I also think it has evolved and the need for symptoms for testing was in place for the first year or so and then eased off. Times for testing out here where there have been very few cases are down to a couple of hours a day and I suspect there are days when no-one turns up.
There is a big difference in my experience to my brother (in Melbourne). In the regions we’ve had little disease (at least little disease that has been picked up) and we live in less close contact with other people. I doubt many of the farmers have bothered to go for a test because they sneezed or coughed one morning.
There doesn’t seem to be a requirement to have symptoms. Though they suggest that if you have any symptoms to get tested. the map shows though that “no referral is required” for any testing clinic.

Surprisingly, good and effective practice in a pandemic of an infectious disease that is 1/4 of the time asymptomatic, is to test anyone regardless of symptoms.
As yous’l know we often have much less than complimentary to say about NSWuhan but we’ll say this about them, just like Wuhan Proper they have done a good share of mass and asymptomatic testing.
Premier Peter Gutwein says there will be some additional restrictions.
Masks still need to be worn until 6:00pm on Friday.
Masks will apply indoors and outdoors for anyone 12 years and over unless in your own home or in your own vehicle driven either by yourself or with your immediate family.
Importantly, if you visit someone else’s home, you must wear a mask.
If you leave the 12 LGAs which were under lockdown, or travel north out of that area, you must continue to wear your mask while you’re in another part of the state.
If you’re somebody travelling into the 12 LGAs from another part of the state, you will need to wear a mask as well.
Restrictions that currently apply for aged care and hospitals will remain in place until 6:00pm on Friday night.”
How about a vaccination card with a chip that lists all your vaccinations?
Or an updated medicare card with a chip?
Too expensive and cumbersome. It is much easier to just grab the vaccination data from a web server as required. This way the information is always up-to-date and you don’t have to worry about re-issuing cards.
In the old days you could prove your vaccination status just by showing the vaccine scar on your arm.

Using AirPhysio is easy – it’s like an OPEP device, but much more efficient:
Blow into the AirPhysio. You don’t need to breathe too hard – just enough to make the ball bearing inside the clear cap lift up (that’s how you know it’s working). This builds pressure within the lungs, which opens them up and gets behind the mucus that’s responsible for the heaviness in your chest.
As the mucus is lifted upward toward the throat, you’ll be able to remove it by coughing or swallowing.
Repeat this process as often as needed (usually about 10 times) to fully clean your lungs from the mucus. The more you use it, the cleaner your lungs will be!

You noticed that is an advertorial, didn’t you?
Yes, and its highly priced at $97.
Still, I’d like to try it though.
Interestingly, my grandmother (who suffered severe asthma all her adult life) had a cheap device that did the same thing this expensive device purports to do.
It was a plastic tube with one end in a jug of water. Her doctor prescribed this in 1967, requiring her to push all the air in her lungs out through the tube several times a day. He threatened her with the possibility of hospital over Christmas. She did this exercise for the rest of her life and was never hospitalised again.

About another thirty years IIRC.

Obesity is very rarely seen as a positive factor in any clinical situation.
Then again, apparently a little overweight can be a Good Thing. This seems to be a very recent paper on the topic. Using the Framingham heart study data. Gosh that study has been analyzed to death!

As per the findings published in the journal Accident Emergency Medicine in May 2020, 50 patients with confirmed hypoxia were under focus for this study and their median saturation of oxygen in blood was 80 per cent, which was raised to 84 per cent after the provision of supplemental oxygen. After five minutes of lying in the prone position, the levels of oxygen saturation were raised to 94 per cent, and the patients were also put on supplemental oxygen. In this study, intubation was not needed in nearly two-thirds of the admitted patients.
According to Dr Praveen Gupta, director and head of department, neurology, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, “This position helps in improving oxygen flow in patients who are critical, in turn ensuring that they are less likely to require ventilator support.”
As per a National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) study ‘Awake Proning: A Necessary Evil During the COVID-19 Pandemic’ published in Cureus Journal in July 2020, “Awake proning delays the use of mechanical ventilation and facilitates the patients with severe ARDS or severe pneumonia in maintaining the supply of oxygen to the body tissues. Since medical institutes are overburdened and limited ventilators are available, awake proning can reduce not only the burden on hospitals but also decrease the need for ventilators.”

*: obviously there are other factors like vaccination, normalised mask wearing, delay between superspreading and case ascertainment
Three. Assuming the numbers are legit’** then the clear interpretation should be: before the tipping point, numbers climb dramatically and scarily; after the tipping point they fall persistently and reassuringly. Which fits entirely with simple exponential modelling of R > 1 and R < 1 scenarios, which makes it even more pointed a question why anyone would insist on flipping it back and forth above and below 1 in a game of ICU chicken when you could just get cases low and then keep R anywhere below 1 persistently.

Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner says he is not worried about job losses that occur as a result of his government’s COVID vaccine mandate.
Mr Gunner said any job losses would be necessary and acceptable to keep vulnerable Territorians safe as governments across Australia relaxed public health measures.
Last week, Mr Gunner announced a vaccine mandate covering workers in a broad range of settings, including workers in all public-facing roles.

“There may be people who choose not to continue in their current jobs because we are requiring vaccination, that may happen,” Mr Gunner told ABC Radio Darwin this morning.

Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner says he is not worried about job losses that occur as a result of his government’s COVID vaccine mandate.
Mr Gunner said any job losses would be necessary and acceptable to keep vulnerable Territorians safe as governments across Australia relaxed public health measures.
Last week, Mr Gunner announced a vaccine mandate covering workers in a broad range of settings, including workers in all public-facing roles.
Under the mandate workers could be fined or potentially dismissed if they do not receive at least one dose of a COVID vaccine by November 13 and a second dose by December 24.

While Queensland typically staffed about 300 intensive care unit beds, Dr Young said that could be safely and “rapidly increased” to 600, if needed.

Novak Djokovic won’t be able to enter Australia unless he is vaccinated, Immigration Minister Alex Hawke says.

“Things being as they are, I still don’t know if I will go to Melbourne,” Djokovic said.
“I will not reveal my status, whether I have been vaccinated or not. It is a private matter and an inappropriate inquiry.
“People go too far these days in taking the liberty to ask questions and judge a person. Whatever you say, ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘maybe’, ‘I am thinking about it’, they will take advantage.”
On Wednesday morning Mr Hawke said Australia’s policy for incoming arrivals would also apply to international athletes.
“Our health advice is that when we open the borders everyone that comes to Australia will have to be double-vaccinated,” Mr Hawke said.
Djokovic has won the Australian Open a record nine times, including the last three times in a row.

and must say the writer writing for the apparatus did a grand job of avoiding explicit reference to travel and human travel being a vehicle for viruses (particularly when they travel together in capsules), but more impressive was the absence of the more informal or personal dimension of prophylactic behaviors to reduce the likelihood of contracting infections, and transmitting them, behaviors people commonly adopt, that preceded covid, which includes traveling less

Some people are just thoughtless. Just thoughtless.
prima facie seems reasonable but we’ll give you 900 s to pre-empt us and give us your
¿ thoughts ?
oh all right we’ll mollwollfumble this one
The sluggish vaccination rollout in non-COVID states such as Western Australia and Queensland — and both states’ resistance to exposing their population to the virus — means they are missing out on the “maximum protection period” from the vaccines, leading experts say.
Why is this important ¿ Why do they need “maximum protection” right now, when they actually have control without “maximum protection” ¿ Surely maximum protection comes from having good infection control measures already.
Experts say research showing a waning efficacy of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines means a sluggish rollout could equate to more circulation of the virus when the states eventually open up, putting the vulnerable at risk.
Well yes, that’s going to happen no matter when your waning efficacy happens.
Bennett told the ABC the first couple of months after vaccination was the “maximum protection period” and the population was “less likely” to pass on the virus. “In the short term, the vaccines work particularly well,” Professor Bennett said
Oh so now it’s apparently mainstream after we’ve been saying for 6 months, it wears off, well, so, where’s them booster shots then ¿
“So this is the advantage of taking the maximum benefit from the vaccines in those first couple of months after most people get their second dose, as we’ve seen in NSW and [now] Victoria, to actually ease restrictions because that should help us not get the big surge [during the] necessary part of opening up.”
“nececssary” … “opening up” WTF
because the “big surge” comes from mobility going from 30% to 100%, and not from mobility going from 100% to 100% ¿ Think about that for a moment
MacIntyre said a speedy rollout was critical for the non-COVID states. “You never know when an outbreak is going to occur that can upend everything,” Professor MacIntyre said. “They need to vaccinate everyone as soon as possible.”
On what basis is that justified ¿ That is: if vaccine effectiveness wears off after a couple of months, then what do you think is going to happen if you vaccinate everyone as soon as possible, but the outbreak that upends everything happens 4 months after that ¿
Oh wait, that’s what’s been happening in other places around the world, who the fuck would have thought ¿
Oh oh wait wait here’s the punch line, suddenly here we go ¡
According to Professor Cunningham, getting to 90 per cent or above should still be the main priority for all jurisdictions, to reduce the circulation of the virus.
Imagine that.
“My professional recommendation is booster shots for the ageing after six months, and for the immunocompromised after three months,” he said.
About 500,000 people would be eligible for a third dose under ATAGI’s advice. The federal government is yet to commit to date for booster shots for the elderly or other vulnerable communities, but yesterday indicated it would like the rollout in aged care to start next month.
OH, RIGHT
Maybe lead with this actual valid justification that you can only get your 3rd dose after you get your 2nd after you get your 1st, for greater and more durable protection, from severe disease as well as transmission.
Maybe actually also correctly frame the justification, because claiming that “studies of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines showed they were still highly effective in protecting people from hospitalisation and death” means that the actual purpose of the 3rd dose is not going to be to maintain an already maintained protection “from hospitalisation and death”, but to restore protection from transmission.
Nah, as transition says, the fuckers in the media don’t do correct justification, they do narrative and sycophandemicpanderemic clickbait.

Unclear at this stage why new Queensland COVID case was not in quarantine.
As we know, a new positive COVID case on the Gold Coast presented to the emergency department at Robina Hospital yesterday and is now so sick with the virus he can barely speak to contact tracers.
What we don’t know for sure is what happened in the week-and-a-half or so prior to that.
CHO Jeannette Young says it’s believed the man had been infectious since October 9, when he was in Melbourne, but returned to Queensland two days later.
It is not clear why the man was not in hotel quarantine after returning to Queensland.
Authorities were working with Uber to see if the man had driven any customers while infectious, and the man had not used the Check In Queensland app since September 18.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk says the case is on the Gold Coast. The man was not vaccinated and was “potentially infectious in the community for up to 10 days”.

>Nah, as transition says, the fuckers in the media don’t do correct justification, they do narrative and sycophandemicpanderemic clickbait.
well, what I would say, state unreservedly as fact, is the inconvenience of circulating covid is being shifted into the informal dimension of peoples lives, where it is and will be harder to measure, become largely immeasurable, uncountable, and the contraction of peoples social interaction will be substantial
vaccines won’t fix that suppressive effect, and contraction, in fact broad vaccination uptake + wild covid is much worse than elimination, certainly for many people
but the theme is get those fucken planes in the air, the global village rules, fuck the parochial locals

Nope I’m not allowed to ask I just have to say ok and move on and that’s fair enough none of my business fair call, and to be honest i didn’t want to even ask I’m just drained by the whole Covid situation right now. I’ve had to continue to go to work into one of the hottest of hotspots in Sydney all year, every day. There have been two of us there, the cleaner, who I must say is an absolute legend and me. Other staff have been in but they were rotating to minimise their exposure….. maybe saw the same person once every two to three weeks.
At my school all the teaching and auxiliary staff finally had to come back on site today. by the 5th person complaining to me that they were unhappy about coming back I went all Oprah in my head and was like well you can get fucked and you can get fucked …..you can all go and get royally fucked.
Much anger and disappointment in a few people right now.

Right there with you mate.
When I have to head out to the shops, I notice that a fair few people aren’t using the check-in app. And in larger shops like Coles & Woolies, despite having a number of signs on the entry stating that one of the rules of entry is that you have to be wearing a mask, a good 15% – 20% aren’t, and the staff aren’t doing a thing about it.
Fair enough the COVID numbers are really low here but I’d very much like to keep it that way.

When I have to head out to the shops, I notice that a fair few people aren’t using the check-in app. And in larger shops like Coles & Woolies, despite having a number of signs on the entry stating that one of the rules of entry is that you have to be wearing a mask, a good 15% – 20% aren’t, and the staff aren’t doing a thing about it.
Fair enough the COVID numbers are really low here but I’d very much like to keep it that way.
Might not be low really soon, given today’s events.
Nope I’m not allowed to ask I just have to say ok and move on and that’s fair enough none of my business fair call, and to be honest i didn’t want to even ask I’m just drained by the whole Covid situation right now. I’ve had to continue to go to work into one of the hottest of hotspots in Sydney all year, every day. There have been two of us there, the cleaner, who I must say is an absolute legend and me. Other staff have been in but they were rotating to minimise their exposure….. maybe saw the same person once every two to three weeks.
At my school all the teaching and auxiliary staff finally had to come back on site today. by the 5th person complaining to me that they were unhappy about coming back I went all Oprah in my head and was like well you can get fucked and you can get fucked …..you can all go and get royally fucked.

It took a while, and it was a nasty scare at the start, but a lot of info is in now and the models have been refined.
Politicians now know roughly the rate at which people will die, and what social,economic, and voting strata are most likely to be affected.
They’re reassured that not too many of the ‘right sort’ of people will be too badly affected, and the losses in other groups will not upset the status quo too much.
So, the rules can be relaxed, and business can get back to normal.

Don’t misquote me so early in the morning.
It looks like my quote was also wrong. Apparently it is “This too shall pass”. It’s obviously too long since I read any of the Bible.

They are low. Way too low, really. But you know how a lot of people think: no COVID, no need to test.
Victoria AMA says Covid-deniers and anti-vaxxers should opt out of public health system and ‘let nature run its course’
Hospital system is already under pressure and will get worse as restrictions lift, state AMA president says
“Covid-deniers” and “anti-vaxxers” should opt out of care in the public health system if they catch the virus as Victoria reopens, says the Victorian branch of the Australian Medical Association.
The AMA Victoria president, Dr Roderick McRae, said those who do not believe Covid-19 is real or a threat should update their advanced care directives and inform their relatives that they do not wish to receive care in the public health system if diagnosed with the virus.
They are low. Way too low, really. But you know how a lot of people think: no COVID, no need to test.
But you can still die of a cold.
Remember how we suggested mass random asymptomatic testing for the willing (possibly also incentivised by financial reward similar to how research sometimes does)¿
“ If it has been more than three months since you recovered from COVID-19 you should get tested for COVID-19 if you have symptoms because your immunity may have decreased. Unfortunately, people can become unwell with COVID-19 more than once.
Routine COVID-19 testing when you do not have symptoms (such as workplace surveillance testing) is not recommended for six months after you have recovered. This is because tests for COVID-19 may continue to give a positive result for a while after infection, even though you are no longer infectious. “
“We are clearly in a fourth wave,” said the Belgian health minister, Frank Vandenbroucke. “We will see a major increase in infections and, unfortunately, hospital admissions.” Testing will be free for people using a government website to check their symptoms.
In the Netherlands, new daily cases have more than doubled over the past two weeks. In Germany, which had maintained a rate of about 100 new cases per million since mid-September, daily infections have leapt by about 40% in a week.
France – where MPs voted on Wednesday night to allow use of the country’s vaccine passport until next summer if necessary – and Spain have both recorded 17% increases in new daily cases over the past seven days, and Italy a rise of nearly 6%.
Some experts, however, have suggested that the UK may also be feeling the effects of its fast early vaccine rollout, since a larger proportion of adults than in western Europe have now reached the point, five or six months on, where vaccine effectiveness starts to fade.
—
in honesty that last idea smells to us like some kind of stealth antivaccination mindvirus
convince people that “getting vaccinated early means you are more susceptible later” which plays straight into the story that “vaccines are useless”
and unfortunately in some ways there is truth in that if there are bullshit barriers to 3rd dosing
“ If it has been more than three months since you recovered from COVID-19 you should get tested for COVID-19 if you have symptoms because your immunity may have decreased. Unfortunately, people can become unwell with COVID-19 more than once.
Routine COVID-19 testing when you do not have symptoms (such as workplace surveillance testing) is not recommended for six months after you have recovered. This is because tests for COVID-19 may continue to give a positive result for a while after infection, even though you are no longer infectious. “
OK didn’t expect confirmation from the hoarse’s oropharynx so clearly. So they specifically exclude possibility of asymptomatic reinfection less than 3 months from recovery, thanks.
This bloke must have gone downhill very fast. There is a contact site that is a cinema and it’s from only 4 days ago. And the barber’s shop is also from the 18th. And he only went to hospital on the 20th.

Isn’t that one of the reasons so may died at home in Sydney? Going downhill fast?

Pretty much. Though I am sure it wasn’t all that pretty.
So is this Victoria opening up thing really a good idea right now?
I’ll assess properly when the experiment is completed. Right now is just the start of the experiment. No inferences can be drawn. However, in a week or two, we could have a good idea how things are panning out.

If the hospitals fill up and are overloaded then it’s a bad idea. If they don’t then it was a good idea. Time will tell.
Given it wasn’t really working anyway, why not vaccinate faster and actually wear N95+ masks…

I must say the different reaction to NSW removing restrictions and Victoria removing restrictions is a little odd.
It’s almost as if people are letting party politics affect their opinion on these things.
like, you suggest there’s a politically different response, so we now request evidence
especially if the one evidence we cite is considered sorry didn’t hear you
Well what I said was:
“It’s almost as if people are letting party politics affect their opinion on these things.”
where “people” refers to the people who populate this forum, rather than the people who populate the government buildings of Sydney and Melbourne, and “these things” refers to government actions on dealing with the Covid problem.
So I don’t see what the resignation of the NSW premier has to do with it.

maybe they feel sorry for poor little Gutless who through no fault of her own let someone else destroy her legacy and found it irretrievable
and can’t really blame Perrottet for a Gutless plan
In a long-awaited decision the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved “mix and match” COVID-19 vaccine boosters, meaning your third dose does not need to be the same vaccine brand as your primary course. Alongside this announcement the FDA also recommended booster shots for all Americans who initially received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

I still have no idea what you are on about.
Are you seriously asking for evidence that when NSW announced relaxation of restrictions the general comment here was “terrible idea”, but when Victoria did the same the general comment was “let’s wait and see how it goes”?
If so, feel free to review this thread, and previous ones with a similar name.

I didn’t say “let’s wait and see how it goes”.
I said that I couldn’t make any inferences yet.
Mind you, I have no choice but “wait and see how it goes”. The experiment is being run by others.
Personally, I’d prefer a step-wise, change one parameter at a time approach. By changing a lot of stuff at once, it may well be very difficult to impossible to decipher which actions work and which don’t.

I don’t think I ever commented about NSW coming out of lockdown. I was scathing about their tardiness about going into lock dowm.

Don’t worry anyone watching would have recognised that in Old North Wales relaxing seemed to make fuck all difference but forcing students back to schools without other measures is looking disastrous.

We are also having ramping problems in Australia.
large part the trouble is in using vaccination to release a virus, to raise background covid levels for the conveniences of relaxed prophylaxis, further releasing a virus because it is too contagious to contain
Everywhere is busy; most ICUs have expanded outwards. It’s mostly manageable, and if it isn’t you just deal with it. This is what we are paid to do.
I am yet to place a fully vaccinated person on life support.
I thought I had seen it all but I am exposed to new levels of crazy every day.
Some dude who was teetering on the edge of coming to ICU decided to go home. Explained that he would very likely die should he go home but not having a bar of it. Can’t stop him as he is competent and it’s a hospital, not a jail. Son organised some oxygen for home – never going to be enough. Gets home and amazingly lasts an hour. Calls ambulance. By the time they got there, his oxygen level was so low his heart stopped. Dead.
Demands by relatives to not place loved ones on ventilators because “they kill”.
The usual demands for ivermectin continue.
One relative had obviously read up on google about ECMO (a relatively specialised machine that takes over the function of the heart and lungs – need enormous pipes to pump blood out and then back into the body). Asking if they could buy one and take their relative home on it. It’s hard to not laugh in these circumstances.
Death threats. Threats to hospitals, with at least one instance where family had brought stuff to burn down a hospital. One friend had to do a family meeting under police guard. Lots of security in the carparks now, particularly at night.
Then there are extreme acts of kindness. Some random fruiterer dropped off 3 boxes of mangoes, just because. A Sydney ICU sent us a box of macarons. The local Rotary club sent us tote bags full of crap.
Now that we’re opening up, there will probably be another wave that’ll keep us well and truly busy through December, and hopefully it’ll ease by mid to late January.

It goes roughly around the halfway mark depending upon the issue at hand. 60/40 much of the time. Again, depending upon the issue as to which side is the 60.

One relative had obviously read up on google about ECMO (a relatively specialised machine that takes over the function of the heart and lungs – need enormous pipes to pump blood out and then back into the body). Asking if they could buy one and take their relative home on it. It’s hard to not laugh in these circumstances.
Death threats. Threats to hospitals, with at least one instance where family had brought stuff to burn down a hospital. One friend had to do a family meeting under police guard. Lots of security in the carparks now, particularly at night.
Then there are extreme acts of kindness. Some random fruiterer dropped off 3 boxes of mangoes, just because. A Sydney ICU sent us a box of macarons. The local Rotary club sent us tote bags full of crap.
Now that we’re opening up, there will probably be another wave that’ll keep us well and truly busy through December, and hopefully it’ll ease by mid to late January.
Maybe hospital emergency departments should be designed to expand out into other wards when pandemics roll across the country then return to normal when things calm down again?
It sounds like that is precisely what is happening.
Everywhere is busy; most ICUs have expanded outwards. It’s mostly manageable, and if it isn’t you just deal with it. This is what we are paid to do.
I am yet to place a fully vaccinated person on life support.
I thought I had seen it all but I am exposed to new levels of crazy every day.
Some dude who was teetering on the edge of coming to ICU decided to go home. Explained that he would very likely die should he go home but not having a bar of it. Can’t stop him as he is competent and it’s a hospital, not a jail. Son organised some oxygen for home – never going to be enough. Gets home and amazingly lasts an hour. Calls ambulance. By the time they got there, his oxygen level was so low his heart stopped. Dead.

A callous view of it would be that the average intelligence value will be raised a bit by all this.
I was wonder if the human race is getting stupider, our knowledge and technological ability is increasing but the nonsense people believe seems to also be increasing.

even if that were true, substantially true, and maybe it is, it’s not so much that, it’s the squeezing out of voices that are saying don’t release covid for wild circulation, basically much of the language people are being offered to explain anything to do with covid has about it a theme to squeeze out those voices, i’d further suggest that practice is endemic from the apparatus
to the extent it’s near an unnatural work of imagination to conjure those voices, which are saying no
xkcd neatly highlights the problem with clinical trials.
Step 3 should come after step 4. Because putting step 3 before step 4 kills all those people who could have been helped but denied help because of implementation delays. That’s why clinical trials are mass murder.
For lots of other products, eg. herbal and chinese medicines, step 3 does come after step 4.

“All vaccinated interstate and international arrivals can enter Tasmania without a need for quarantine from December 15, as long as they have returned a negative COVID-19 test, the state government has announced.”
They’re all opening up now.

A new mutated form of coronavirus that some are calling “Delta Plus” may spread more easily than regular Delta, UK experts now say. There is no evidence yet that it causes worse illness.
Dead fucking serious we must be dreaming or this is pretty much a paraphrase of what they said about “Delta” compared to “Alpha” or ancestralstrain or whatever, we mean, holy shit. You can also hear the overtones of passive fatalism in there, there is nothing we can do, the disease, it spreads, we must submit.
Three months after Britain celebrated Freedom Day and ended COVID-19 restrictions, the country is recording one of the worst daily infection rates in the world, with close to 50 000 daily cases. The UK’s rate of infection, hospitalisation and death from COVID is higher than its European neighbours and some health experts are pressing the British government to reimpose social restrictions.
Assessment of Cognitive Function in Patients After COVID-19 Infection
In this study, we found a relatively high frequency of cognitive impairment several months after patients contracted COVID-19. Impairments in executive functioning, processing speed, category fluency, memory encoding, and recall were predominant among hospitalized patients. The relative sparing of memory recognition in the context of impaired encoding and recall suggests an executive pattern. This pattern is consistent with zombifying processes, decreasing the volition and capacity for independent thought* of patients.
*: of course, for those patients choosing to not mask or vaccinate, it seems impossible to decrease this below zero, yet here we all are
Seems it’s not as bad as you might think though, they go on to say
The findings of this study are generally consistent with those of research on other viruses (eg, influenza).
so if only hospitalisation rates were as low as influenza…
oh well guess Australia backed a gift horse that keeps on giving
The hundreds of thousands of people who brought forward their second AstraZeneca dose to within eight weeks of the first during Sydney’s Delta outbreak should not delay their booster shot, GPs have warned.
According to data from the Australian Immunisation Register, more than 177,000 people in NSW received the two doses of the AstraZeneca shot four weeks apart after the recommended interval was shortened from 12 weeks to between four and eight.
“The UK response has been a matter of clutching defeat from the jaws of victory,” Danny Altmann, professor of immunology at Imperial College London, told Al Jazeera.
“We looked in a good place after the initial vaccine rollout, but now the situation looks bleak indeed,” he said.
Altmann conceded the UK may need to “learn to live with COVID-19” given the unlikelihood of now eliminating the virus altogether, but warned that should not mean giving up on efforts to contain it.
“We seem to be using the term rather as a synonym for ‘learn to tolerate a truly tragic level of wholly avoidable deaths since we can’t be bothered with simple mitigations’,” he said. “That’s not how one should practice medicine.”
Don’t worry, Michael. Qld’s numbers for tests, cases, and deaths will soon be up there with the best of ‘em.
Unfortunately, I do worry about that. I can’t help myself.
It’s a pity that we have such a low uptake of vaccinations. That’s going to cause QLD difficulties soon enough.
N95+ mask and vaccinated yourself, what more can you do ¿
I’ll continue using my home-made washable cloth masks. More to do? Staying away from other people as much as possible, sanitising hands. (As we have been doing right from the start of this pandemic.).
I don’t intend to take up shaving at my advanced age. I’d likely cut myself…

The sad thing is that for these Americans, having 46,264,596 cases and 755,712 deaths is the sign of “freedom”.
it’s fine we have foreign interference laws against this idiocy oh wait that’s only for the other massive overseas superpower yeah we welcome fascists with open arms here
don’t worry at least we have some leaders with guts and brains and hair
Romania has been very bad several times before. So has Bulgaria. The Caribbean has been getting better, ditto Fiji.
Anything over 10 on this table is very bad. Two months ago, the worst was only 12. Daily deaths per million population. Australia is running at 0.59, midway down the list of countries.
Here’s a vaccination chart for the same countries, with Australia added. Mongolia has the combination of relatively high vaccination rate (same as Australia) and high Covid death rate (8.5 times as high as Australia). Australia now has a higher vaccination rate per unit population than the USA :-)
As of Friday, October 22, more than 95 per cent of school staff had declared they were fully vaccinated, a spokesperson for NSW Education said, with the rate slightly higher among teachers.
Mr Gavrielatos said the percentage of those unvaccinated meant there would be a shortage of about 3,000 teachers.
“That presents serious challenges in terms of the organisation of a school,” he said, “in terms of ensuring that we have staff in front of every classroom and our timetabled classes proceed unaffected.
Well they can fucking stay away until they are vaccinated.
Experts say COVID-19 case numbers in the coming days will be crucial to understanding how the virus is spreading in reopened NSW, but high vaccination coverage should see hospital admissions continue to decline.
if they were more expert then they would actually admit that it is not the vaccination but the fact that they are about to sacrifice your school-age children, then their parents, then the rest of the population, but because it is the young first then the severity won’t initially appear as bad
Mr Hunt said Australia was on track to be one of the most highly and most recently vaccinated countries in the world, while it would also be one of the firs countries to roll out a booster program, too.
…
“most recently”, you mean, late / slow / delayed / retarded
so let’s go then, booster programme, talk the talk, now
A woman offered a bribe to fake her vaccination. Then the unexpected happened
The president of the pharmacy guild in Victoria said he responded by asking the woman in her 40s if she had any particular questions about the vaccine. When she swore at him, calling him greedy, he changed tack. “I said ‘look, this needle is going in someone’s arm, either yours or the next person’s, so you either roll up your sleeve, or you get out’.” About 15 minutes later, the woman quietly walked out of the Melbourne pharmacy with that vaccine in her arm.
Sydney GP Charlotte Hespe believes many of her patients are willing to engage with her because she won’t tell them they are stupid or refuse to care for them. She will, however, respectfully disagree with them while addressing their fears. The woman told her she was afraid the vaccine would kill her, and she wanted to be alive in 10 years time. Dr Hespe told her bluntly that if she got the infection that could be it for her. After mulling it over, the woman returned later for her vaccine and now has two doses. “She has this cohort of friends who are all complete anti-vaxxers, and she has got them all over the line … she basically said to them what I’d said, and that resonated with all of them.”
She was required to get the vaccine for work. Mr Tassone told her about his parents, who he said were also very religious, and suggested that by having the vaccine she could continue to do the Lord’s good work. “She immediately just relaxed and said ‘I didn’t think of it like that’. The pharmacist held her hand as he gave her the vaccine with the other, as she stood and chanted a prayer.
There you see religion cures all ills¡
Victoria (90.2 per cent) and NSW (93 per cent), doctors and pharmacists say that the discussions that they are having with patients still yet to receive their first vaccine dose are becoming more challenging. These include people reluctantly getting vaccinated to keep their jobs in the face of sweeping vaccination mandates, or those who hadn’t planned on having the jab, but now realise they will have to to do the things they want, like go to the pub.
Imagine that, mandatory vaccination and vaccine dependent freedoms actually increase vaccination rate, who would have thought ¿¡

but surely rumour has it that ED staff are having a right ball these days because apart from the stupid gullible, most people are chickenshit and don’t want to catch something in the waiting room, and since they had to shut down elective surgery and chemotherapy and all that fun stuff, people aren’t having emergencies from that
Balloons in school colours and a big WELCOMEBACK sign greeted kindy and year 1 students as they arrived at Oatley Public School on Monday. The children were nervous, excited and relieved; so were their parents. After 16 weeks, life was finally returning to normal. But shortly after the final school bell on Wednesday, parents received the email they dreaded; there had been a positive case, and the school would shut for contact tracing and cleaning. Close contacts would have to isolate.
“returning to normal” sure oh wait even before the full return that’s uh
getting close to 10% of schools in just 3 weeks isn’t it

“Parents have already told me that, despite how tough it was to balance home learning with their own work schedules, they still have really wonderful memories of learning from home. We really wanted the learning from home period to be a time when families were brought closer together, not torn apart by unnecessary stress.”
oh so actually forcing students back into bully barrels classrooms to be shot by bullies taught is actually not strictly and absolutely necessary for wellbeing, it’s not even necessarily beneficial relative to the alternative, it’s a possibility that decreases the closeness of families
Balloons in school colours and a big WELCOMEBACK sign greeted kindy and year 1 students as they arrived at Oatley Public School on Monday. The children were nervous, excited and relieved; so were their parents. After 16 weeks, life was finally returning to normal. But shortly after the final school bell on Wednesday, parents received the email they dreaded; there had been a positive case, and the school would shut for contact tracing and cleaning. Close contacts would have to isolate.
“returning to normal” sure oh wait even before the full return that’s uh

Some of the parents I’ve had to contact about returning to school have told me that they are done, they are struggling and just cant deal anymore with 24/7 kiddies at home. I work in a special needs school with children who are severely handicapped and often have behavioural problem stemming from their disability so I totally get it.
I gave my first booster this week.
Typical government – they’ve told patients to get one, us to do it, who is eligible and when; but provided no billing information or actual formal guidance.
I had a Pfizer about to go off and a patient who met the criteria so just did it for free.
Police and healthcare are now six months post second Pfizer with no plan for a booster in sight yet. That’s the next challenge.

so does your GP recommend people rock up and see if boosters are available

the policy of endemic covid is a fucken joke

One, endemic. ^ It’s fucked up.
Two, returning special needs school totally. Well yeah, fair qualification on that; we in no way represent that our claim applies absolutely to all stakeholders, certainly any educational policy will potentially benefit some people more than others. Ideally we might have an education system that is able to provide (at scale) both in-person and remote / distance / online learning, enabling
students and families to have a choice
the load for each modality to be on average halved, or supply and demand adjusted to suit
hence or otherwise a reduction in classroom density and therefore a decrease in pandemic risk to all involved (especially those that have to be in-person for reasons including above)
innovation and improvement in education that have been a long time coming but yet to be realised
Conservative intellectual and Republican New Hampshire House of Reps member Ken Weyler has distributed to his colleagues a manifesto called The Vaccine Death Report. Weyler is also chairman of the House’s finance committee.
The 52-page manifesto makes many false and irrational claims about the vaccine and other topics. For example, the authors say governments will “steal our very own thoughts and feelings through 5G,” and claim that in addition to the Pope, the Catholic Church has spawned an evil “Black Pope” and a “Grey Pope.”
“This supreme puppet master operates entirely in the shadows, from where he yields enormous power over the world,” they claim.
Perhaps the most eye-popping bit of paranoia comes under the heading “CREATURE WITHTENTACLES,” in which a woman scientist says observations of the vaccine under a microscope revealed “a living organism with tentacles. This creature moves around, lifts itself up, and even seems to be self-aware.
“The sight of this and the thought that these unknown, octopus-like creatures are being injected into millions of children worldwide, caused the doctor to weep,” the manifesto reads.

Besides the White Pope, there is also a lesser known Black Pope who has far more power, but who
works more behind the scenes. The Black Pope however is still submitted to one who sits on a higher
throne: the Grey Pope. This supreme puppet master operates entirely in the shadows, from where he
yields enormous power over the world. If you want to understand how all this originated historically,
you have to research the dark spiritual origins of the Jesuits. I will leave it here, for now, as this topic
can easily lead us too far.

Replaced his whole memory with that of another person.
He’d been posting disinformation about Covid on his social media. One of his friends believed all of it, refused vaccination, and died from Covid in Melbourne last week. Celebrant’s friend blamed himself for his friend’s death, and took his own life.

I have 2 brothers refusing COID19 vaccination, one of them has asthma.
They were vaccinated as children, now they are against COVID vaccination.
Vaccinated as children doesn’t seem to factor in at all with their attitude.

my guess is he was already depressed and the recent event pushed him over the edge . the isolation of covid has had a global affect on mental health as i understand things.

LOL, did you use the wayback machine to get that? See if you can dig something up that happened in living memory.
He’s still alive, don’t know if he’s still in Congress though.

Most of what Pauline says is intelligent and helpful and should be taken seriously. Then she says utterly stupid shit that completely destroys any of her credibility.

How does she manage to always say it when I’m not listening?
Conservative intellectual and Republican New Hampshire House of Reps member Ken Weyler has distributed to his colleagues a manifesto called The Vaccine Death Report. Weyler is also chairman of the House’s finance committee.
The 52-page manifesto makes many false and irrational claims about the vaccine and other topics. For example, the authors say governments will “steal our very own thoughts and feelings through 5G,” and claim that in addition to the Pope, the Catholic Church has spawned an evil “Black Pope” and a “Grey Pope.”
“This supreme puppet master operates entirely in the shadows, from where he yields enormous power over the world,” they claim.
Perhaps the most eye-popping bit of paranoia comes under the heading “CREATURE WITHTENTACLES,” in which a woman scientist says observations of the vaccine under a microscope revealed “a living organism with tentacles. This creature moves around, lifts itself up, and even seems to be self-aware.
“The sight of this and the thought that these unknown, octopus-like creatures are being injected into millions of children worldwide, caused the doctor to weep,” the manifesto reads.

At least some people give that guy a bit of respect, from the comments:
“I lived on Guam for half my life. We had typhoons with 200+ mph winds and 40 foot waves and the island only capsized once. But we all hung on to the east side and flipped it back around quickly so we were all okay. Thank you Congressman for caring.”

Gosh!

The stupid shit is what makes the news.
When she wants to assist the local manufacturers to continue to make things in Australia, it’s not news.
When she wants to help the homeless, it’s not news.

I’ve found I am more adept at taking off bottle tops since I’ve had both doses of Astra.
In the past sometimes I couldn’t get the top off a stubbie without having to get a cloth but now no problems.
It’s only a personal anecdote, but yeah.

Thanks for that, Boris. Among other claims made by the authors of that document — which includes photos (allegedly 400x micrographs, but in extremely sharp focus) of the Cthulhu-like creatures — is that Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine (sometimes with zinc) have a 100% success rate at curing COVID-19. They also claim that the vaccines contain “graphene oxide”. Lots of references are included, and a bibliography is included at the end — to things like youtube.com and breitbart.com.

Reminds me of the episode of Father Ted in which one of the people says the island has no east side: it was knocked off in a storm.

When she says the stupid stuff… Front Page News!
we mean, let’s not discount the fact that the next most intelligent species probably doesn’t have as rich and diverse language as most humans, so that covers the intelligent bit, and much of what any human talks about is generally what other humans talk about and concordant and therefore beneficial to concordance, so there’s the helpful
what’s outstanding is that of the thousands of other politicians out there, so few of them are known for their lack of intelligence or helpfulness, so few of them are front page news for being stupid
Any details about that photo? Whenever I open my hives, there are bees on top of the frames and on top of the box sides, and — depending on what frame I’m handling — on the wax on the frame itself, but there are none in that photo; he’s handling the frame barehanded (the bees will sting the hands continuously if you do that), and there’s no smoker in sight. I’d say he’s preparing the hive to accept bees, but there are none there.

d’n‘o’, we’re just reposting, not our image, presumably they didn’t actually want the purported victim to be stung to death

Then why is he wearing the face protection?
Makes for a good and funny photo.
I strongly disagree that it is either of those things, even if it’s supposed to be. .. is this the guy who photo shops his kid in seemingly dangerous situations for laughs?

I think the photo’s just a set-up to point to the idea of childhood exposure
mum’s out there with the camera baby hanging on front, while dad’s working with bees, one has an idea it would make a stirring picture if dad held baby while pretending to do something with what really are the empty bee boxes
a bit like getting a picture of your toddler standing on the car seat pretending to drive, or whatever
