We have yet to see vaccines in NSW bring the transmission rate down. Why? A thread. 1/10
Here are these projections I've been making, where I start with the current R_eff, and assume it will decrease as vaccines in NSW ramp up and reduce transmission.
You may notice the problem - they project R_eff decrease steadily. But that's not what we're seeing. 2/10
The problem is that the projection model treats NSW all the same, when in reality there are two very different settings. In the LGAs of concern, cases are higher and the growth rate lower. Elsewhere, cases are lower, but growth is higher (note: cases plotted on a log scale) 3/10
