@DenisCOVIDinfoguy you know... I think they read thier own chart wrong?
by my interpretation the 10 000 is referring to weekly covid notifications, whilst the no of healthcare workers furloughed is ~ 500
The dangers of dual y-axis charts hey
And the 10k is right there next to the furlough bar, so easy to spot
@DenisCOVIDinfoguy thanks for your updates!
No stress, it looks like NSW Health made the same one
@DenisCOVIDinfoguy yas total cases for the week in NSW are approx 4000 ~ roughly where the black line sits
Oh dear
@DenisCOVIDinfoguy Here's the recent NSW data via GISAID.
The growth in XBB.* is mostly XBB.2.3 and child lineages, from the "Acrux" clan.
