@JoyCannabis The NSW weekly respiratory surveillance report has some data. Too many patients with unknown status to do a meaningful breakdown at this point though. Was easier to compare the risk in the past when cases by vax status were reported, eg https://t.co/jX1Ehd3hAO

NSW COVID summary for 9th December

Cases up ~6% on last week (down from ~20% the prior week). Looking like dipping into negative territory, so this is likely the peak for weekly cases. 1/9

[Science First @sciencefirstok]

Victorian daily data is showing growth now negative. Watching over the next few days to confirm the peak. 9/9

[Science First @sciencefirstok]

All jurisdictions except Qld saw falls in growth. 8/9

@dbRaevn @laurie_ms Qld Growth well off the peak. It's roughly where the national average was last week, so not trailing that much, I think.

@snj_1970 @i_petersen Vaping replacing cigarettes. Not more toxic - that’s a pretty high bar - but not harmless either.
