Blah-Blah Bar / Re: CV and mad panic behaviour

Just a couple of weeks back the media laughed at and derided that scientist in NSW who predicted 25K cases a day, most of us including myself thought he was talking worst case!

Now they are saying if they can't get the brakes on 150k a day is a possibility in NSW, God help the hospitals and staff, Australia is not equipped to deal with this, never was and never will be!

Doherty institute modelling suggested 250,000, not 25,000.

The staffing shortages is (for mine) a great concern.  Who wouldn't suffer burn out at the rate they've been going for 2 years.  And what we know now are the exploding cases of recent days, not those yet to come to light.

Very true Thry ... but how do we define cases against infection types?  Massive increases in the former, weird assignments of deaths.  That is, what is attributable to Delta as opposed to Omicron?

Deaths plummeted in the UK, they rose exponentially in the States in the last 24 hours.
And case numbers remained relatively consistent with trend.
 
What was it?  13 deaths VIC 1 death NSW and they have way over double the number of infections.

Tickets for C seats were $150, down to $30 for F.  We were in E and went as a family.   While it was over in an hour and a bit,  it was pretty good entertainment and the atmosphere was great.  My mate & I agreed that we thought it was still not bad value - our kids really enjoyed the demolition.

All things considered, the day could have been a lot longer had England applied itself; taking nothing away from our bowling though.

Stokes was sailing very close to being timed out.  Incredulous not have the next man padded up as soon as the preceding player was heading out to the wicket.  That would have been the final insult to England ... never happened before in Tests.  Shamozzle
