A review of my June data leads to some interesting observations.
There were approximately 19,700,000 new reported cases of Covid-19 globally in June.
There were approximately 2,200,00 new reported cases of Covid-19 in Australia in June.
In South Australia there were approximately 75,700 new reported cases and 87 new deaths due to Covid-19 in June. With our daily death and hospitalisation numbers remaining fairly level.
Globally the rate of Covid-19 new reported daily infections in June consolidated in a broad range centred around the 650,000 mark, similar to that of May. But in the last 8 days of the month there were a few spikes in the data, suggesting a possible new uptrend in the number of reported infections has begun.
A similar pattern has developed in Australia with a rising trend from the May June range centered on about 27500 new daily reported infections.
I hope this is just a blip and not the start of a new wave.
Getting back to Australia, there is a rising trend in the number of new daily hospital admissions due to Covid-19 and the daily death rate appears to be in a new uptrend. See the graphs below.
In Australia the Virus Reproduction Rate (14 day Av) has started rising again from a low of around 0.5 at the start of June. This appears to confirm the possible start of a new wave.
The percentage of people hospitalised after acquiring the disease that require treatment in ICU has stabilised at around 3.5%.
While all this has been going on the War in Ukraine continues, with numerous charges of War Crimes being leveled at Russia.
The world is in uncertain times, energy prices around the world are rising and food shortages accompanied by rising food costs are also occurring globally. Interest rates are steeply rising as is inflation.
Personally the month saw 6 new cases of Covid-19 with the family across Australia, thankfully most cases were mild, K being the exception.
We had the birth of our 7th grandchild, a boy, both him and him mum are doing well.
Our dog graduated from Level 3 training at Obedience Classes, apparently he is now an obedient dog!! We have now started agility training with him, hopefully he/we will enjoy it going forward.
