Gauteng is teasing again..
@Grand Guru do you know what is that number under the provincial daily count? Eg. Gauteng's daily is 93, but what is that 434 underneath it?
Active cases, I guess.
Edit: it is in the second set of stats. It’s definitely the number of active cases
I guess you are right. It correlates with the second map.
Very interesting article on the history of the Rubella vaccine and the lessons learnt help set the guidelines for the Covid vaxine.

Are there any stats re: vaccination by province ?
Gauteng hit over that dreaded 100 mark again that you've been watching @Adephi
Austrians heading towards lockdown for unvaccinated

"Austrians are days away from a first lockdown for anyone not fully vaccinated, after record infections were reported across the country.
Upper Austria province will impose restrictions from Monday if it gets the go-ahead from the federal government. Salzburg also plans new measures.
Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said a national lockdown for the unvaccinated was "probably inevitable".
Two-thirds of people should not suffer because others were hesitant, he said...
Austria has already banned the unvaccinated from going to restaurants, cinemas, ski lifts and hairdressers, but things are about to get even tougher in Upper Austria.
Critics say the lockdown will be very hard to enforce..."
The province is introducing a lockdown for the unvaccinated.
The chancellor says this means that people who have not been vaccinated won't be able to leave home, unless it is for essential reasons like going to work, buying food or exercise.

I cannot wait to see the backlash from this
Well at least they have the balls to do it
Imagine the song and dance if this happened here.
White-tailed deer found to be huge reservoir of coronavirus infection
https://theconversation.com/white-t...uge-reservoir-of-coronavirus-infection-171268
"A second unpublished study has detected the virus in 80% of deer sampled in Iowa between November 2020 and January 2021.
Such high levels of infection led the researchers to conclude that deer are actively transmitting the virus to one another. The scientists also identified different SARS-CoV-2 variants, suggesting there have been many human-to-deer infections."

Another great article on how jabs reduce transmission. A good 10 minute read.
How vaccines reduce transmission

Bottom Line
The majority of vaccinated people won’t spread the virus if they are exposed. Among breakthrough cases, vaccines ensure less infectious viral particles for a shorter period of time. Fully vaccinated people provide little to no threat to community transmission. Boosters also help. And those with infection-induced immunity may or may not help reduce transmission.
