Thanks you for the great way you teach us as you explain the science. To me (not great at maths) looks like the Delta peak will be higher and the tail, longer.🤔 Should have locked down earlier.

Always look forward to you on the ABC - you always make sense of things like this Jackson Pollack of a graph.

This is Squiggle Hell for us non scientists, but with the right specs I might be getting it! Thank you for your expert advice on the Delta Skelter.

Thank you. Should've locked down way earlier. Problem now is it's not even a real lockdown as many retail stores & foodcourts still open and other services. New retail exposure sites popping up daily.🤦 Meanwhile the other states all emerging from short sharp lockdowns now.

@NSWHealth won’t release their modelling of our current trajectory. Why? Surely people need to be scared to do the right thing & told like @DanielAndrewsMP does. What does your modelling tell us?

To much noise to be definitive about anything.

The new #Lambda variants look worse. Will this ever be over. Do the vaccines we are using in Aus work on the #Lambda variant.
