When will they shutdown this country?
About two weeks after it should have been shutdown.
Coronavirus infections in NSW rise to 1,405, but new cases drop for second consecutive day headline is wrong. It should be "80% of cases from community transmission"
NSW's Chief Medical Officer Kerry Chant said 145 cases of COVID-19 were acquired from an undeterminable source.
"That is the group that most concerns us because it represents community transmission without a known source," she said.As much as I appreciate the sentiment of Ribs & Burgers, I'd be steering clear of anywhere frequented by health care workers.
You know, I thought NZ could go into lockdown mod, why can't we have it here, it is better for the ppl in the long run. Otherwise how can they control it.
This is the kind of knee jerk reaction that causes fear mongering. As a nurse myself I can assure you that were are at greater risk of catching this from NON healthcare workers than from each other as we are training in infection control and hand hygiene.
just so people know this is usa currently.

we are about 2 weeks behind this
Do you think we will have something like that within 2 weeks?
What are you basing this on? Australia has performed much greater rates of testing per capita compared to the US. We also implemented tougher restrictions in a nation wide response compared to the USA which was doing things on a county/state based approach.
Australia has a free and readily accessible healthcare system, we are also heavily isolated from much of the world with no shared borders. Comparing Australia to other countries purely based on numbers is feeds into the panic even if it is well intentioned. It is the greatest problem with all these claims 'we are two weeks behind…. *Italy, Spain, USA, UK take your pick'. The facts are most people are sharing graphs with no understanding of the variables which the models take into consideration, and fail to discuss how current and past interventions will change both R0 and the associated morbidity/mortality.
The trend of cases doubling every 3-4 days hasn't changed much. It takes 10-14 days for the impact of restrictions to become evident, so that potentially means 12,000 cases by the end of next week.
If there is significant community transmission then control becomes much harder.
@mathew42: Sorry, but the evidence would indicate the doubling rate is lower in the past several days by a reduction in cases despite high levels of testing. Granted we need to watch carefully to see if community spread establishes a clear doubling rate once the traveller + traveller contact noise is gone from the data, something we should expect if the mechanism of case and intervention are appropriately paired.
Yes, I would agree that it takes 10-14 days for restrictions to become evident and it has been 2 weeks since people have been recommended to work from home, travel bans brought in, compulsory quarantines for return travellers, and increased screening capacity. We also have shorter testing times so are able to commence contact tracing earlier.
The data shows Australia and United States of America or the UK did not have our first CONFIRMED cases that far apart by date, but it is the variables which have resulted in our numbers being drastically different. Our Government and Healthcare system took it seriously early and have been responding and preparing appropriately. The media likes the hysteria, but there should be acknowledgement of what impact our measures are having.
I am happy to be corrected and shown the errors in my understanding but until someone can describe the data and the models to me with reference to the contextual information, I can only go with what the numbers and associated facts would indicate as possibilities with relative probabilities.
@Gradesbrah: Scomo mentioned that this country can not run with the economy, do you know what he implies to?
@Yaren24: What do you imagine a shut down would look like? That term is used very loosely by media, healthcare workers, politicians, and the general public.
I suspect, based on the most recent data, we are doing enough currently to control the rate of spread to a manageable level for our healthcare system. Will they be pushed? Yes. But they are very prepared, very capable, and extremely hard working. With the support of the nation and improved compliance to the existing restrictions we will be able to get through this based on current numbers. If things begin to deteriorate, then as a nation we must reassess and implement the appropriate steps.

Possibly, but Coronavirus could flood our hospital ICUs with COVID-19 patients, so do we have enough beds? suggests the spare capacity is minimal.
If things begin to deteriorate, then as a nation we must reassess and implement the appropriate steps.
Experts suggest It will be two weeks before we know if Australia's coronavirus restrictions are working. One indicator that the situation is deteriorating is 80% of confirmed cases diagnosed in NSW on Thursday had an unknown source which indicates community spread.
I hope you are right, but that will only be the case if we all follow the current restrictions to the letter. Our health care workers will appreciate this much more than free coffee and food discounts, because honestly they'd prefer not to see you on a professional basis.
Possibly, but Coronavirus could flood our hospital ICUs with COVID-19 patients, so do we have enough beds?(abc.net.au) suggests the spare capacity is minimal.
Major hospitals are overhauling hospital layouts to drastically increase the number of beds which can provide ventilation support. A number of regional hospitals have increased ICU capacity by considerable margins despite typically being seen as low resourced. The decisions to reduce elective surgery will lead to reduced standard demand and the theatre spaces have been discussed as possible ICU rooms. These conversations are worldwide and have been occurring in hospital departments for almost two months. "we have strategies to at least triple our intensive care capacity and even go further if we need to. We are working very closely with the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society, they are preparing a national heat map of where the beds are, where the usage of those beds are, and we are working very hard to increase our supply of ventilators and consumables. We are, compared to many countries, our baseline ICU capacity is very good, much better per head of population and many other high income countries, but we have a very, very committed and enthusiastic intensive care community who are planning on very significant surges…" -Prof B. Murphy https://www.pm.gov.au/media/press-conference-australian-parl…. In reality it will be the staffing demand which is the upper limit of capacity.
One indicator that the situation is deteriorating is 80% of confirmed cases diagnosed in NSW on Thursday had an unknown source which indicates community spread.
I am sorry, but '80% of..' does not indicate anything is worsening. What matters is the R0 of community spread under current conditions, and many of these community spread cases are delayed in allocation due to exhausting contacting tracing first. As the number of cases from overseas decreases - at a faster rate than local transmission decreases you will get the community cases presenting as a larger proportion, but that does not indicate the rate.
As an Australian proud of all the physical, emotional, and significant financial sacrifices being made by fellow Australians, I am simply saying that the small positives that can be seen in the data should be acknowledged by the media and greater community. Maybe if people were thanked for the sacrifices instead of many complaining about people on a beach we all can continue to work towards the goal of slowing the spread and protective our loved ones and healthcare staff.
All I am saying is the conversations keep referring to articles, graphs and quotes without us being interested in discussing the data. The daily new cases are decreasing as per official figures, that could be a statistical blimp but it should give us pause to feel reassured we are doing the right thing instead of screaming for a lockdown. A lockdown is not universally agreed as the best response and some models have shown school closures have an impact which is minimal and not meaningful to the at risk cases. But again, no one seems to be discussing the peer-reviewed literature merely sharing the same flatten the curve graph on twitter. Not constructive in my opinion. We all are smart enough to do better in times as challenging as these.

Yes, but there are currently only 2300 hospital beds with ventilators. This can be boosted to 5000 with existing equipment. The government is seeking to source another 5000 ventilators, but so is every other government in the world. There is a real risk that capacity could be exceeded.
I am sorry, but '80% of..' does not indicate anything is worsening.
Yes it does. If the vast majority of cases are imported from overseas then isolating those people for two weeks should keep the spread minimal. If 80% of cases are from community transmission then we can expect exponential growth to continue because those people won't be aware they have COVID-19 at first.

That is where I will disagree with your opinion that the average person is not smart enough to do better. The government has had to move to mandatory isolation of inbound travellers because people weren't obeying the rules. We pulled our kids out of school because parents weren't following social distancing rules.

If 80% of cases are from community transmission then we can expect exponential growth to continue because those people won't be aware they have COVID-19 at first.
If we start with 100 cases occurring per day, Day 1 you can have 94 traveller related cases 6 community cases, by Day 5 you could have 76 traveller related cases and 6 community cases, by Day 14 you could have 2 traveller related cases and 8 community cases. I have kept the numbers small but that is an example in which community cases went from 6% to 80% with no exponential growth. This is an example of the arithmetic, not a description of what actual numbers are reported but the point stands, a proportion tells you NOTHING about the rate of community spread when reported in isolation of other data.
I hope you and your loved ones remain safe and that Australians begin to universally share your level of concern.

Except that it isn't a proportion. It is 80% of the diagnosed cases in Sydney on Thursday were from an unknown source (e.g. not an international traveller or close contact of a COVID-19 case). Add to this the cancer patients at The Alfred
Several hospital staff have been infected and dozens of medical workers tested after it was revealed that two cancer patients at The Alfred hospital's oncology ward, who later died, had been infected with COVID-19.
The hospital confirmed late Friday night that the COVID-19 diagnoses were not determined until after the men's condition worsened, shortly before their death.
Hospitals are faced with the uphill challenge of not only protecting their own staff from contracting COVID-19, but of also caring for infected patients and identifying the deadly disease in other patients who may present with other illnesses or who are unaware they have contracted the disease.
This week four emergency department healthcare workers, including three doctors, at Werribee's Mercy Hospital tested positive to COVID-19. The source of that infection also remains unknown.
There is some good news this morning: Hopes Victoria's preparedness could enable hospitals to cope with influx:
A series of scenario projections calculated by Professor Blakely and researchers from the University of Melbourne’s Population Intervention Unit predict that shutdown measures introduced a week ago by the Victorian and federal governments could reduce by between two thirds and three quarters the peak ICU admission rate in the state.
Except that has to be balanced with rich idiots not self isolating and youth ignoring social isolation.
@mathew42: @Mathew42 well this thread aged well……
Your last response was on the date we officially peaked.
@Gradesbrah: The peak depends on which state you are in. Tasmania had it's current peak of 15 new cases on 14th April. Victoria and NSW have both trended upwards in the last couple of days.
ABC News is reporting in Charting the COVID-19 spread in Australia
The latest data show 646 infections — or 28 per cent of all locally-acquired cases — may have been spread via unknown sources. This is up from 19 per cent in late March.
The situation is better than most people expected, but the We’re not overreacting to the coronavirus article explains:
The problem with proper prevention, the linchpin of many public health strategies, is that there’s no clear indication when it works. There’s no public celebration when a coronavirus case or death doesn’t happen.
So yes, we can celebrate the progress, but significant risk remains.
@Gradesbrah: Unfortunately that’s where you’re wrong.
The majority of the current spread is from three (3) major sources:
1) people without symptoms not knowing they’re infected
2) selfishness of people not doing what is recommended (footballers now included in the list)
and
3) the constant bombardment of misinformation and fear based decisions by those who who have a voice (which nowadays is almost everybody)The virus can’t spread if it can’t travel from one host to another.
@FredAstair: It seems my primary point is not being communicated well enough by me.
No one seems to be interested in providing Peer reviewed references or verifiable data for any statements they make. When pointing this out and calling for us all to do better I have simply received responses that are of the same nature. I have not read any data/article that demonstrates your three points.
As for your last point, I am calling out all misinformation and asking people to focus on the data and the scientific peer reviewed research.
Monday is the intel I have (don't quote me on that!)
Does this include food to feed the family?
Potentially could use the ribs and burgers
Yes, but will they let you order take-away for 6?
I'm sure R &R would be happy to let them get food for their screaming kids at home, or co-workers who can't get out of the hospital. It'd be a massive PR fail if they didn't, though nothing would surprise me. As for patrolling it, there's no fullproof way so staff probably just have to give it their best guess. If a teenager comes in with dad's stethoscope and 10 "colleagues", that's probably a giveaway
I got $90 food for $45 last night.
My partner is an ICU doctor. The coming in work clothes is a dangerous idea. At home we have a quarantine zone where she removes her clothes and disinfects everything (keys, glasses) after entering the door. Then afterwards she enters the house. Asking healthcare workers to come in with work clothes is asking for Covid transmission.
All you need to show is your ID
OR….OR…OR…OR… "NOT AND"
come in your work clothes.
You missed the point.
The very notion of suggesting coming in your work clothes is a dangerous idea. Not discounting the fact that you can show your ID instead. Nowhere did the OP state what you are hinting at. /smh
Please be mindful that healthcare workers are also shift workers, and also have washing machines.
Although the majority of these deals are ID OR uniform.
Keep in mind that I can go to the shops in my uniform BEFORE going to work. Ergo, I’m in clean uniform that has been washed prior.
Please don’t add to the abuse already seen of healthcare workers going to the shops in their uniforms.
Although I would never consider wearing my uniform to the shops, at least if I see a healthcare workers out shopping I know that they practice good hand hygiene compared to the average joe who I don’t know if he’s just picked his bum Or scratched his balls, and is now touching things that I might have to touch without first washing his hands.
I understand that this creates fear, but if were careful, social isolate WHEN we need to go outside, and otherwise self isolate, practice good hand hygiene then were all better off at slowing down the spread which will eventually lead to containment of the virus.
hi Katalyze, would you mind I PM you? Cheers
mind sharing it to the rest of us here? ;)
Sure
How do I PM you, your account is private. Sorry
The work clothes part is obviously for those who have a nurse costume lying around at home
My barely-there white nurse uniform miniskirt with lace pantyhose Halloween costume finally has a use!!
Whilst I approve of this discount, they shouldn't limit it to health workers only.
I'm glad we have your approval
Their meals are overpriced to begin with. 50% off should be the regular price.
Thanks OP! great to see the community is supporting our healthcare heroes. BTW could you add the tag "Healthcare Workers" so the other healthcare workers page would include this? Thanks
wheres the healthcare workers page?
If there isn’t one can one be started.
I’m keen to add things to it, like the Uber eats Coffee Club 2 for 1 lol day breakfasts till 7th April onto it. (Not just for healthcare workers btw).
Damn, we also need sympathy for truck/delivery drivers, without them no TP.
Not sympathy.
They only have to drive the Tp to and from locations.
The pleb that needs to load and unload the cargo are the real heros here.. lol.
Tried to get some today, expired yesterday they said!
Ah damn just the weekend :(
Still great though!!
Oh, really? Only a 2 day promo? That's unfortunate :(
Edit: Rang my local store, can confirm the promotion has finished.
Umm.. Its still running?
I got it successfully last night from Rhodes, NSW.
Their instagram feed says: "until Sunday 3rd May 2020"
Oh? The store I enquired (via phone) stated it was finished over the weekend.
Lunch for the next month sorted ;)
Extended until 30 June. Edit: Thanks cchhiillyy
Extended until 31 July. (Thanks SSJX)
Just letting you know, in the description it says June 30.
Thanks, fixed up.
All good buddy
Show ID - yes, work clothes - probably not the best idea…
Great discount though
