Quarantine for 24 days to keep NZ omicron covid free.

Likely that hospitalisation has peaked in NSW thankfully. As there is a 7 day lag for hospitalisation, implies peak of cases was about Jan 14.

NSW may have hit its Omicron peak based on hospital data — and that's good news for other states - ABC News https://t.co/wpiAp6dnr8
I still hold to my previous views.

Recording positive rapid test results help to better track spread.
But hospitalisation and intensive care admissions are the most important cases to look at.

We keep on having ongoing controversy about best masks to wear. But this is missing a big but neglected risk factor. Your eyes.

Protecting your eyes is more important than arguments about mask types.

Most infectious diseases physicians are focused on clinical medicine and their patients. They have no interest in getting involved in politics/society. This is part of the reason why virus response + public health was so easily co-opted for ulterior motivhttps://t.co/BoVwZeBtRN
