Key points:
- NSW has recorded a significant rise in COVID infections
- Two variants are responsible for most cases in the state
- Those with the virus are urged to stay home or wear a mask outside
The absolute number of hospitalisations is all I am really concerned about.
Indeed but the spike did drop. NYE is more outdoors and younger. Could be lax data collection though. We will see.
Ah, right, I had immediately converted their phrasing of “a greater health risk” to mean ‘greater severity of illness’ (on the TV reports they’d been saying that directly). Now I see where you were coming from, that it’s a greater health risk to the public as a whole👍
