So today we had 50 cases, 39 active in the community. The chairman of the ruling party, and it broke his heart having to tell us this, has said the lockdowns will be going on for a lot longer until we 'get on top of this deadly virus".
In NSW they had around 750 cases today with 1 death, a 30 year old woman who died suddenly at home. Obviously she didn't die of Covid but everyone is pretending she did.... or else.
Meantime in fully vaccinated Israel they're hitting 10,000 cases per day, which matches the peak of the previous Covid spike last winter.
Clearly the vaccines don't prevent transmission or replication, there can be no argument now.
Deaths are running at around 50 per day, which is half the previous peak. The Delta variant is markedly less deadly than the original Wuhan strain or alpha variant, as in way, way less deadly, so this is a worrying metric. These numbers are strongly suggestive that ADE is occurring, at least to an extent.
The UK's casedemic weirdly continues. The expected bell curve is not appearing, instead cases seem to be plateauing at a steady 30-40000 per day.
The case fatality rate has trended up slightly, from 0.1% to 0.3%, still around half Israel's.
Are we seeing the effects of the mRNA vaccines causing ADE? With the UK being more reliant on the Astra Zeneca jab?
If anyone has any doubts where this is going don't

New South Wales citizens could be wearing masks indoors for years and proof of vaccination may be required to enter high-risk venues, even when the state reaches 80% vaccination coverage, the chief health officer, Dr Kerry Chant, has warned.
In Australia the lockdowns, mandates, curfews and travel bans are only possible due to a state of emergency having been declared nation wide. State of emergency legislation was originally passed to deal with natural disasters such as severe floods, storms and bush fires. It allows government to issue orders to deal with an immediate and impending threat, usually for a few days at most. With the Covid pandemic the state of emergency has now lasted for over 18 months and it seems it will become a permanent feature.
In real terms we have suspended democratic government and oversight. Parliaments, both at the state and federal level rarely convene due to the health risks. Legislation is now passed by committee. A "national cabinet", which the Australian courts have ruled is not actually a cabinet, now declares new laws by diktat. At the state level our premiers (equivalent to US state Governors) rule like monarchs, issuing proclamations on the basis of health advice, which the public have no right to see. There is no public debate, no votes, no process. Freedom of information requests are either completely ignored or redacted so much that they're meaningless.
A year ago anyone saying that there would be Covid passports, booster shots and permanent lockdowns was dismissed as a conspiratard. So why is my government building a gigantic quarantine facility to be opened in the New Year when they're saying that fully vaccinated overseas travelers will be allowed to enter without having to do the 14 days? Who exactly are they intending to put there?
