Corona virus predictions

I read recently that the potency of Delta has increased the percentage required - to more like 80% or 90%.

 

Latest I heard was one shot wasn’t that great with delta but after 2nd , the immunity is better .

reality is that any figure is guess work . What ever the UK is at , obviously isn’t enough ….
They’ve just had their highest daily number in 4 months .

Yes, 11,007 new cases and 19 new deaths - United Kingdom COVID: 4,600,623 Cases and 127,945 Deaths - Worldometer . Of course every death matters, but the fact that we were looking at 2% or worse death rate last year and now it's <0.2% is something, presumably reflects the UK's high vaccination rate. Ironic that Cunard have cancelled their Australian summer cruise season and instead will be running cruises from UK.

 

Australia didn't close its borders earlier than the rest of the western world .. the "early hard closure" is a myth pushed by Australian politicians (a US politician was pushing it also).
Did close early just to China though but so did a lot of other countries including Italy (the first), and USA. Didn't help much.
After 3 1/2 months yes Australia stayed slammed shut while some countries opened for a few months, but before that not much difference.

 

I would never have predicted this…. Just confirms the crazies…..and its all about politics…. Make no mistake about this one

Fans who had AstraZeneca vaccine won’t be allowed into Bruce Springsteen’s New York concerts

 

It's because the AZ wasn't FDA approved ... protectionism of U.S. pharmaceutical companies

 

My prediction is that Australia will remain remote and comparatively ( socially ) distant over the longer term. It will be less vulnerable due to location and space.

It will continue to defy sceptics and remain Lucky, lazy and naive about it's natural strengths.

The population will continue to display ignorance rowdiness disrespect and larrikinism.

Poppies that grow too tall will be cut down. The second verse of the national anthem will be more forgotten than ever and Don Bradmans average will never be forgotten.

Koalas will make a comeback and crocodiles will only eat poms. sharks will follow lead of crocodiles.

 

This will lead to a resurgence of dropbears and the destructive effects of the glacial worm.

 

I don’t think it’s about politics, the AZ just hasn’t been approved for use in the USA yet. Just like Australia are not yet recognising vaccines that are not yet approved for use in Australia.

 

So no change??

 

I don’t necessarily think so. Australia hasn’t approved lots of vaccines yet - many of which are in use in the USA and other countries.

 

And catching season for the hoop snakes

 

You must deal with tourists too.

 

Today, July 2021

Australia now have half country in lockdown

Syd may be in lockdown till Sept…what media is saying. Clearly, different rules for East and West….

Only 11% vaccinated to date , compared to 50% in USA and Europe, who is now wearing egg on face

1 in 3 will not vaccinate due to no confidence in government, information, vaccine and strategy

50% now saying lockdowns, zero covid is the wrong strategy for healthy people, economy, mental health

Divide is growing

Property market …..???? Who knows market sentiment may go from positive to negative.

 

Today….Brissy booming… inner/middle

I got it wrong too

 

Stuffed up with communication and roll out

 

Nope

Share market roaring and property market same. I think had 1 month fall and then bounced back
Winners and losers

 

So you took the bull by the horn and doubled your money
