Look guys, its a pandemic.
Thus far we have dodged a lot of covid patients going to hospital at all and the "strain" on the health system is being over stated purely based on a few anecdotals. The number of covid patients we have in our hospitals at all at the moment is the thing to look for, and look how NSW is tracking with their covid journey. We are only at worst a few weeks behind them in both vaccinations, and although our numbers look a bit ordinary, the facts are as follows:
We have a grand total of 777 current cases admitted. The relaxing of restrictions with current vaccine coverage is unlikely to lead to a sharp increase in hospitalisation.
There are 151 ICU, 94 on ventilators.
In NSW, they currently have 606 in hospital, 132 in ICU, and 71 on ventilators and there last few weeks have seen falling case numbers at really strong rates, which indicates that the vaccinations do stop the spread.
Yes, the pandemic is going to continue.
Yes the worst of it is ahead of us.
No, opening up is not going to lead to thousands of covid patients clogging hospitals (reference NSW).
No, we are not going to get to 0, and
Yes we are going to see hospitals under some level of strain but the hospitals at the moment, aren't even close to straining.
Normality needs to resume. Its simple stuff. We are 13 days away from 80% double vaxed, and 4 days away from 90% single vaxed. By the start of December, we are going to see 90% of our population in victoria double vaxed.
As we have seen from history, it would take months to infect the remaining people in large numbers who aren't getting vaccinated and only a small percentage of those remaining actually go to hospital. The majority of people holding out beyond this time, are more likely to go get vaccinated out of fear of opening up, than they would if we stay with significant restrictions which feeds their anti Dan, anti Vax agenda, covid is fake and this is all about control agenda, rather than makes them see that all of this was done for their own well being.
