  1. Dr John , do you have any comments on the trajectory of Covid cases in the Australian state of Victoria? https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/coronavirus-covid-19-daily-update The time series data is available under one of the 10th "Whats new?" dot point or as (if it works) : https://app.powerbi.com/view?r=eyJrIjoiODBmMmE3NWQtZWNlNC00OWRkLTk1NjYtMjM2YTY1MjI2NzdjIiwidCI6ImMwZTA2MDFmLTBmYWMtNDQ5Yy05Yzg4LWExMDRjNGViOWYyOCJ9 Despite Victoria having about 26% of Australia's population, and earlier in the year having less than this share of cases, we in Victoria are now so far above 26% for every bad measure : https://www.health.gov.au/news/health-alerts/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-health-alert/coronavirus-covid-19-current-situation-and-case-numbers Much higher levels of restriction have been introduced to try and stem this likely overwhelming of the health system. Certain of the worst affected aged care facilities have had the reduced staff unaffected by Covid overwhelmed with the result that high care residents were reported to be left unattended for hydration, nutrition, medication and assistance with hygiene for days at the height of facility collapses. So bad flow ons from this even without a Covid infection of a resident.
