If you do a little bit of looking you’ll see there’s hard science behind these decisions, it isn’t all a conspiracy.
They have had about 14 days to amend the website! not very hard.
Very little science - distance and population density are a key factor - and truth is there was no real community transmittions of that strain even though the ground zero case used public transport. The only community case was her partner.
Got some science for that 70% more contagious variant or just luck?
Actual fact in Australia by science is it is less transmittable here, or am I missing the science on that?
Up to 5 days infectious in the community and all.
The numbers and rates of this virus are weird across the World but the stats within countries are pretty consistent after around 6 months after the first cases/second waves. They can be both good and bad and many countries (I have visited or lived) are pretty honest on such things. But the stats are way off what I expected.
