Covid update w/e 11th June
Good news.
A drop in reported cases by 1400 to 9900
Deaths have dropped by 5 to 3038 that is still a lot of Kiwis dying each week, but people seem quite happy with that apart from the dead and their families.
They would probably died of the flu anyway.
OH, according to the Health dept
"2022 - Covid-19 is killing three times as many New Zealanders as influenza does in a typical year.
University of Otago epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker said while Covid-19 does share some similarities with influenza, it's had a more severe impact on New Zealanders than influenza usually does.
More than 2000 people died this year with Covid-19 identified as the underlying or contributing cause of death. Over the past 30 years an average of 695 people a year died due to influenza or pneumonia. Since 1991 the highest number of deaths attributed to influenza or pneumonia in a single year was 1197 and the lowest was 382."
Good job covid is not as bad as Flu. - NOT
