Today we made a change to the way we're calculating the growth factor, specifically to how we're applying smoothing in the calculation to deal with volatile day-to-day numbers. abc.net.au/news/2020-04-1… Previously we've been calculating the daily growth factor using a 5-day moving average of new cases. Instead, from today, we're going to be using a 7-day growth factor expressed in daily terms. The difference is subtle and you can see it here.

Opting out doesn't appear to be going well for people so far. I've seen multiple reports of long wait times on the phone and web server crashes.

I've you're planning to opt out, I'd suggest maybe not doing it today, but definitely not waiting too long.
