Testing times

I met my first non-bubble person in a week today. This was ridiculously stressful. How soon will we have rapid tests to show whether people have COVID and vaccinations to prevent people getting it?

Facing off against COVID-19

Here we are in our bubble wondering how much news to read each day. I’ve added Denmark to my graph to compare more widely in Scandinavia. I’m thinking deaths may be more indicative of the state of COVID than cases because who knows how each country defines cases. At least deaths in Italy are increasing at a lower rate than last week, after locking down.

The experiment begins…

The world is setting up COVID-19 management experiments and New Zealand is one of them. We will be able to compare, in an action research setting, how different approaches to COVID work. New Zealand and Norway are lockding down, like much of Europe, while Sweden is staying open and asking people to physically isolate. I will watch the case data with interest.
