LAST POST Pandemicia report #71

The Next Pandemic Pandemicia coronavirus report #71 We have not made a post in four months. The eponymous Johns Hopkins world dashboard discontinued on 10 March 2023 after three years, encouraging us at Pandemicia to do the same. The Our World in Data and various government websites continue to show ongoing results. We at Pandemicia and many of our friends in their 70s have managed to avoid the virus so far by obeying directives and doing what the government and statistics spent years teaching us - avoid crowded situations where people can breathe on you, wear masks if you have to approach someone, maintain distance from critical workers who have to visit a lot of people, stay away from groups of young people etc. Other people of working age we know who because of their life situation have not been able to maintain social distancing, have had the disease up to four times. Global report Confirmed cases of Covid-19 globally are rising at about 10 million a ...

Pandemicia coronavirus report #69

Pandemicia coronavirus report #69 Epidemic Enough to make you a socialist We continue to watch the pandemic unfold, 32 months from its inception, and we continue to watch the inconsistency and lack of planning that has surrounded the disease since its inception. Virtually all mandates have been removed in Australia, it is no longer even necessary to report cases or to stay isolated, except for workers in hospitals and aged care. Friends in Europe report: People seem to have forgotten that COVID is well and truly will with us. I was in Spain and Croatia for 3 weeks last week. One friend caught it on way over, I caught it on way home. The amount of coughing everywhere-the whole of Europe is walking around with it and another the symptoms are so mild that they no longer test . The complete panic that surrounded the first year has been replaced by complaisance. Yet Covid has not changed, although treatments for severe Covid have improved and case mortalit...

Pandemicia coronavirus report #70

Waiting for PCR tests, China Pandemicia coronavirus report #70 We are keeping these reports down to two-monthly as news has mostly evaporated, even though cases and deaths from Covid, in Australia at least, are at much higher levels than during the panic phase of 2020-21. Epidemic Global report Confirmed cases of Covid-19 globally are 645 million, and deaths 6.6 million. Apart from the major outbreaks in January and July this year, when countries relaxed surveillance, global confirmed cases have been running fairly steadily since the end of 2020, though deaths have fallen from 100,000 a week down to 9,000 a week from May. Japan has a substantial third major outbreak, with 2.5 million cases in the last month, 10% of its all-time total. South Korea has 1.5 million cases in the month. Although both have more official cases than stalwarts USA, France, Italy and Germany , all of whom have in the vicinity of a million cases a month, deaths are considerably lower, The...
