How do his supporters, rationalise his actions against the public blurb / ideology?
I recall a George Conway interview in which he said that Trump was great at reading the anger of his supporters and playing to it and Trump knew he had to be careful about going against the flow. If Trump were to come out now and tell his supporters that they were crazy if they didn't get vaccinated and they should also wear masks, he'd become the enemy.

Whenever he admits he has been jabbed, he quickly assures his supporters that no one should challenge their decisions not to do the same. Why he doesn't just lie about it as he does about everything else is harder to figure out. Maybe he's trying to get ahead of the story in case it leaks or maybe he wants to claim the credit for the vaccine program (and if it's the latter, surely he realises his supporters don't think anyone deserves any credit for the vaccine program).

I'd probably add a gloss to Conway's analysis though. He did influence his supporters to buy into conspiracy theories by telling them Covid was a hoax or nothing to worry about or that HCQ would protect them against the Democrat disease. But once that train started rolling, he realised he'd be run over by it if he tried to stand in its way.

Moderna booster tomorrow after originally vaccinating with AstraZeneca. 

We had a choice between Pfizer and Moderna and opted for the latter.  No particular reason as the side effects seem to be the same.

Had my Moderna booster today to complement the first two Astras. So far so good, no apparent ill effects.

Modelling (IIRC from the Burnett Institute) suggests new cases in Australia may reach 200,000. That's almost 1% of the population!!

Their modelling has been way off so far but a broken clock is right twice a day.

My bad - it's the Doherty Institute modelling. And it assumes no low to medium restrictions are introduced.

Is that per day?

200000 cases a day?
As long as their  close contacts are isolating I don't see a problem.  ::)

I'd put them out of business if they're that inept at modelling.  Wackheads

The Public Health Unit of the University of NSW predicted 25,000 new cases a day in NSW by the end of January (while noting the prediction doesn't factor in booster shots). Bracing though these predictions might be, they highlight what exponential growth means. Another way of seeing the same phenomenon is by looking at the huge spike in actual daily figures from the UK.

Doherty modelling has proved inaccurate and tends to be worst case scenario. Governments like them that way to help sell the idea they are doing a good job dealing with Covid by always being well under those extreme targets imho. Not sure if those figures include u12s either.
Those numbers point to 8000 icu cases over the time frame used which would collapse the hospital system. Think we need to go back to masks, reducing crowd numbers, and limiting arrivals but not go into a mad panic.

That sounds more realistic. We always knew when we opened up that the numbers were going to shoot up. Hopefully when we're 80% triple dosed they stop broadcasting the numbers and just give the ICU and death figures.
