cumulative infections in Australia have exceeded 10 million
" Daily Telegraph " reported that as of 11:00 on the 29th, the data updated by 11:00 on the 29th showed that since the start of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the cumulative number of infections in Australia has reached 10 million 5856 million, and the cumulative number of deaths in Australia has reached 13,760. Australia has an average of 125,350 new confirmed cases per day in one week. Since the number of new confirmed cases peaked in mid-July, the number of new confirmed cases has declined every day. It is reported that in mid-July, the number of new confirmed cases per day reached 50,000. Although the epidemic has occasionally repeated, it is far lower than the record-breaking data of more than 100,000 in mid-January. The latest data released by
last week showed that the average latency of the Omicron variant virus (Omicron) is shorter than that of other variants. An international research team surveyed 142 studies and estimated the differences in incubation periods of different new coronavirus variants. The study found that the average latency of early variants Alpha and Beta was 5 days and 4.5 days, respectively, while the average latency of delta (Delta) was 4.41 days. By comparison, the average latency of Omickron is 3.42 days, suggesting that newer variants usually have shorter latency, the researchers report. The author of the report said: "Determining the incubation period of the new coronavirus of different variants is a key factor in determining the quarantine period."
NSW is the state with the largest number of infections in Australia
html The latest report on the new coronavirus epidemic released on the 126th provides a detailed list of new confirmed cases in each state and territory. The data shows that the number of infection cases in New South Wales is the most prominent.

No more panic. 75% of Australians believe that cases will not rise again.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, more than 3/4 of Australians believe that the number of new coronavirus infections in Australia will decrease or remain stable, which shows that people's panic about the new coronavirus epidemic is decreasing. Data shows that only 7% of Australians expect coronavirus infection to intensify in the coming months, down from 20% in the same survey conducted in March. Across Australia, 17% of respondents believe that the number of new coronavirus infections will drop sharply in the next month or so, while 33% of respondents believe that it will remain unchanged for a period of time.
1/4 respondents believe that the number of active cases of COVID-19 will soon decline significantly, but will then rebound slightly, which is basically consistent with experts' expectations. But there are concerns that the epidemic in Australia may repeat again as Europe and the United States enter winter. Australia reported an average of 12,000 new confirmed cases per day, compared with 47,000 a month ago.
Australians did not relax their vigilance because of this. With the popularity of rapid antigen tests, the frequency of Australians in antigen tests has also increased. Now 35% of respondents say they have tested antigens within the past month, compared with only about 25% of the survey in January.
The vaccination rate in Australia has dropped slightly, with 93% of respondents saying they have been vaccinated, of which 44% have received three shots and 32% have said they have received four shots. Among the respondents who received the three shots, 53% said they would receive the fourth shot. 7% of respondents said they had never been vaccinated, and 46% said they were still considering getting vaccinated.
