Resource COVID19 V - The Info Thread

[Luuuc]

Totally. And we're doing great in that department so far.
But it will still be nice when the infections start trending back downwards. Ultimately all the other metrics flow on from that one.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

From the period of March 14 to 27, the total number of hospital admissions included 31 per cent who were not vaccinated, five per cent who had received one jab and 36 per cent who had been administered two doses.

A further 28 per cent had received more than two doses, according to WA Health.

Most of the hospitalisations involved people aged 40 to 69.

WA now has a third dose vaccination rate of 74.7 per cent among people aged 16 and over.

REVEALED: The West Aussies admitted to hospital with COVID

WA Health has offered a breakdown of patients - both vaccinated and not - that have been admitted to hospital with COVID over the last two weeks as the State prepares to scale back pandemic restrictions.

31% of those in hospital are unvaxxed despite making up less than 5% of the overall population.

Oh my.

“So more than two-thirds of those in hospital are vaccinated?

Aha! Proof they don’t work!”

I saw there was an ant-vacc protest yesterday in the city (our office has a beautiful view of these things). Numbers were notably low and I was wondering if Covid had ripped through the camp...

I didn't realise anti-vaccination protests were still a thing. I imagine numbers have just naturally dropped off.

Was that the one going through the mall at about 1.30? I couldn’t work out what they were demonstrating about but it seemed to be union-related.

Oh my.

Is that 5% representative of the greater population, or are there reasons why they're not vaccinated that also make them more susceptible to hospitalisation with Covid? Is there a greater concentration of unvaccinated in younger age groups, who would be more likely be in hospital with Covid than from Covid?

Also my rough maths from the 3- and 2-dose stats is that the ratio of 3-dose to 2-dose hospitalisations is the same as the ratio of 3-doses to 2-doses in the population. Does that mean that he 3rd dose doesn't confer any extra benefit over 2 doses WRT hospitalisations?

I think your rough maths was a little too rough.

75% of the population has had 3doses
which leaves about ~20% which 2doses

36% of those in hospital have 2 doses
28% of those in hospital have 3 doses

Just based on those numbers:
There around about 3times as many triple vaxxed than double vaxxed people around means you're 3-5times less likely to end up in hospital with 3 doses compared to 2.
I'd say that's a reasonably large benefit.

Yes, I totally ballsed up my maths on that one.

Although I agree with you about the broader picture, it gets tricky when you factor in that the 75% of the population with three shots is only the population that is 16+. Whereas hospital numbers are whole-of-population.

So the calculation is not entirely accurate, but certainly indicative.

About that time going down the Terrace. Was the Freedom Rally. Union flags yes, but essentially anti-mandates. **** all people though.

 

[ZergMinion]

I hadn't really been paying attention, but SA are peaking again with similar active cases and daily case numbers to their previous peak.

Honestly that doesn't make me think the second half of the year is going to be particularly normal anymore.

 

[Hap Hapablap]

the notion that we will end up with zero cases is impossible. however what bodes well for us is the sub variant running riot across the world is our dominant strain. so we shouldnt be as bad as the others in the next wave or whatnot. waves will be common and as long as we have a form of immunity be it being natural or artificial we should be alright.

any way on a side note. the AMA WA president dumb campaigner smith (otherwise known as oxygen thief attention seeking whore sensationalist) is saying restrictions dropping is a disaster and needs to be reconsidered. the fact is this restrictions are for hospitals and icu and if they are low then why have them?

ama need to get him out of his seat. this guy predicted 60k case a day at one point just to shut the border for an extra month. as hes a plastic surgeon probably should sew his mouth shut

I'll say it again - the AMA is effectively a union, not a peak medical body.

AMA is saying it's too early
AHA and CCI is saying it's not enough

Which suggests that today's easing of restrictions is probably about right - those bodies are never satisfied, understandable as their priorities are different.

 

[MrKK]

I suspect the same would be happening in other states too. The burden of Covid policies always falls hardest on those without the money to buy their way around them.

Unfortunately the mindset of these people will be "medical science says it doesn't work, THEREFORE IT WORKS!!!"

Hoping all restrictions outside hospitals, nursing homes etc, and probably public transport too, are scrapped once we hit 80% boosted.

Keep vaccine mandates too, because I hate campaigners.

Suggests maybe we’re going to start seeing the decline?
