A new version with colour & division inspiration from @UQ_News and strict mouse design oversight by @kat_arden (ver3.0).
It reorganises slices into personal & shared responsibilities (think of this in terms of all the slices rather than any single layer being most important) Image
This adds stay home if sick, cough etiquette and air filtration and limit time spent in crowds (thx @cwjohannsen )
Also adds the misinformation mouse (thx to @DamianTheAussie
& @jurreysi), which may become a rat in future versions
Constructive feedback welcome.

Victoria records a zero case day!!
This is after reporting a 725 case day in the peak of Wave 2, ~80 days ago.
#donutday
It can be done.
Who else has brought so many community #COVID19 cases to zero?
❓Taiwan? Never got that high
❓Vietnam? As above👆
❓New Zealand? 👆
❓Thailand? 👆
❓Singapore (almost-9 its minimum so far)
❓Switzerland (almost)
❓Israel (almost)
❓China✔
This isn't the end of Victoria's story - of course.
Vigilance will need to remain as restrictions loosen further, but this *can* be done even in an urban setting, if there is willingness to go for it - from both leadership and community.

To make it clear - @tibmolbiol, the company, did not "heavily cooperate" with me to write a 2002 review of real-time PCR. Katherine Arden and Andreas Nitsche leveraged their skillsets to create that lit review with me. Dr Nitsche was & is a scientist in his own right.
You can see some of Dr Nitsche's impressive research output here
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=andreas+…
The question of whether Dr Nitsche is still affiliated with TiB is strange but it's not one I can answer. I see nothing nefarious with him being, or not being, affiliated. TiB is a huge provider of fee-for-service oligos * kits around the world

-sigh. Sometimes only part of what you say, and the intent of your convo with a journalist, comes through. This was that.

"‘Could be 10 cases, could be 100’: Alarming sign virus still in Qld
One of the state’s top virologists has warned Queenslanders"

...in a local paper.
I'm disappointed the worst scenario came out here instead of the other aspects - notably the uncertainty attached to sewage testing results - which we'd discussed. I got the impression this would not be an alarmist piece. My gut feeling was wrong.
So Queeanalders, to set the record straight, I also said that wastewater positive results could be from a boat, that it's publicly unclear how long sewage sits at a station before being treated. Also,

Hey solar power Twitter...
Our household got a new inverter which shows us input/output via wifi (so yeah, I'm staring at it constantly)
When we turn everything off (still wifi & maybe 3 small standby devices) there still seems to be a ~500W from somewhere.
Where, how?
Thanks for the many answers. Will try a number of things tomorrow. There is also a 10min or so lag between action and the change showing up on the readout-perhaps I didn't wait long enough.
Okay, got it down to about 100-200W from small individual items; a list of small things, some of which we will get better at turning off at the wall 🙄
Water heater wasn't off in previous testing + there was a lag in the App's reporting. Isolation at fusebox to happen next.

The new version as promised (ver2).
It adds vaccines (at the end because gen1 won't simply fix everything) & tracing has been combined with the fast & sensitive testing slice.
I've combined hand & surface cleaning.
Constructive feedback welcome.
Version 2 also adds a slice for isolation & quarantine. The new Government Comms (includes education) & support slice reflect how essential these are to all of these interventions (especially if you're going into Iso & your livelihood is at risk) succeeding
I haven't added a "lockdown" slice although I don't see any other way to put the brakes on widespread & exponential rises in cases & hospitalizations without acknowledging that no intervention will lead to more deaths than lockdowns (unless there are studies that show otherwise?)

An interesting comparison between comments about Madrid on "herd immunity" in an article in June...& numbers today... ImageImageImage
I don't mean to belittle the suffering & harm occurring in Spain here - this is solely to point out how misleading it can be to read "most affected regions like Madrid may be close to reaching herd immunity" (quantamagazine.org/the-tricky-mat…)
There is clearly a new wave ripping through Madrid; which is in a state of emergenecy. And while deaths are not (yet) near the levels they were in Peak1 (great news), that may or may not change with time. Nonetheless, Madrid has more illness now than it had during Peak1 ImageImageImage
