Over the Hump?

April 6th - 3,324 active cases in Australia (down from 3,338 yesterday), 108 new cases in the last 24 hours. I think yesterday's huge decrease in active cases as from something administrative -- I think all at once they declared all cases older than two weeks to be recovered, but today's decrease of a reasonable amount of cases looks like we may indeed be on the downward side of the slope!!



   Cristina is on duty right now. She reports things are still pretty calm there.

   Not much else to report. Was pretty cold again today.

See yesterday's entry for full discussion, but I'm pretty sure the massive declaration of 2,315 recoveries in one day yesterday was based on a changed administrative policy. It looks like they weren't previously automatically marking people recovered but they suddenly realized/decided they could mark everyone who had been diagnosed more than two weeks prior and not died yet as recovered.

Today there were 117 new recoveries listed, if we go back two weeks there were 278 new cases on Marched 23rd, so clearly they haven't marked them all as recovered but maybe all the ones with no symptoms or something.

Who knows maybe if I actually watched the news instead of just crunching numbers in the dark I might know more about their policies ahahahaha.

Right that makes sense... if they're not somewhere on a ventilator by now, they must be out of the woods. I wish we were at that stage, but they're saying we're going to continue to see more for at least a few weeks.
