Meanwhile expert Fox epidemiologist Alan Jones weighs inAnother 362,000 cases in India overnight. The BBC carried a story that the death rate in India has been seriously understated as only people who are registered with hospitals are counted in the official figures. Due to overcrowding of hospital wards many people are able to gain admission and therefore die at home, in cars or on the street. It is estimated that the death rate is likely to be double that of the official figures. Very sad.
Meanwhile in Spain they are rejoicing as after a trial indoor concert attended by 5,000 people with only six patrons testing positive for COVID. Of those six only one was reported as contagious. That does not sound like much but if you do the sums it isn't as safe as it sounds. On Sunday 80,000 people attended the Collingwood v Essendon game at the MCG. If one in a thousand had tested positive after the game it would have been 80 cases with 13 contagious which would have meant another lockdown for Melbourne and all sorts of travel restrictions around Australia. Another complication is the Spanish used antigen tests in the pre concert testing which while quicker is not as accurate as PCR testing and has shown a high level of false negatives.
On the face of these apparently pleasing results the Spaniards will probably relax restrictions on public events and wonder why they end up back where they were in January when they had 35,000 cases per day. The thinking in Europe is distinctly different from that of Australia. In Europe they are resigned to containing the virus while in Australia we strive to eliminate it and the results show.

For international travellers, what if in future they have to show proof of vaccination and in addition must quarantine for 24 hours or until they can be tested and show a negative test

The radio news said yesterday that a person is dying of COVID-19 in Delhi every 4 minutes, and that's only the official figure - who knows what the true number is? At the moment, India is around 14 million cases behind America: the way things are spiralling out of control, India will wipe out that deficit in the next couple of months.India hit 100k daily cases on 4th April and they are talking a peak of 500k a day in mid May. But that means it will still be 100k a day for at least 6 weeks after the peak.
As we have seen around the world, when the health system gets overloaded the mortality rate goes from around 1% to somewhere between 3% to 6%, even higher in Italy's case and got to 14% of positive cases in April/May last year. India's mortality rate has been sitting on around 1.5% for 6 months but that will zoom up unfortunately.
Victoria's mortality rate went from 0.86% to 4.40% between 1st July and 15th October last year.
So that's probably 10 million cases recorded in a first 6 weeks to the peak and maybe the same in the next 6 weeks.
That means that from mid April to mid June anywhere from 300k to 500k could die from those reported positive cases. That is bloody scary, especially given the current official tally passed 200k today. 40k have died in April.
People are dying from covid at the moment who haven't even been tested so they won't be recorded as a covid death. The excess deaths stats wont come out for several months to get a truer picture.
And then there’s all those second doses requiredAs at 28 Apr 2021:
So far, 2,030,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been delivered across Australia.
Change from previous day: 61,000
Taking Australia's population as 25.8mill current % vaccinated = (2.03/25.8) x 100:
7.9%
Yep the data is going to get awful complicated soon..let alone the actual practicalities.And then there’s all those second doses required
