OK regraphed NSW with today's data for yesterday. NSW reaching critical position & geographic spread makes it hard to find hotspot locations for ring-fencing/lockdown. Please follow public health rules & please mask up.
Yes, it shows NSW is on a knife edge. Victoria, I think, is coming out of their spike. But- Vic health workers must be mindful and wear a mask in every ward, as their infection numbers are of concern.
Updated Vic (red) corrected for duplicates etc. Looking hopeful. Melbourne we ❤️ you in your 😷 or face shield. Masks didn't need to be medical grade to reduce transmission in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Sth Korea, Vietnam, Thailand 🤞
A rolling CI is a ratio examining case totals, over a rolling 2x incubation period. It indicates whether the spread is slowing down. I think it is plateauing.
