Those 8489 cases are from 653, 436 pillar 1 & 2 tests.

Versus yesterday's 567, 541 finding 2151 more cases than today.

That is just 1.3% positivity today. Lowest ever.

These numbers are rather meaningless given what now counts as a pillar 1 and 2 test and I suspect it is now around 3 times this at least. But it is very probably well below 5% in real terms now. The number WHO declare for having a pandemic under control.
 
I like these hit by a bus references. They are normally made by boxers and their followers on social media.
Sadly I know from family first hand that you can be a Covid death even when it is 90% sure Covid did not actually kill you.

But yes it is exaggeration to make a point. Hopefully not literally true.

Regional Scoreboard:


Good news and Bad News

Every region except one is below 1000 cases today for the first time in about 4 or 5 months.

No prizes for guessing the one region that is not.

You got it - North West.

However, the good news is that it fell by the biggest amount of anyone today.

A whopping 710 - all the way to 1216.

That is the lowest North West number in 70 days - mid December.
