NZ's strategy of a long, slow, rollout is going to bite us right in the arse, with all vulnerable people having been vaccinated well over 6 months ago. We are starting booster shots, however, so as long as do that fast enough we might be able to keep a cap on it.



At least deaths appear to be tapering off, and there can't be many people left to infect, so you might be ok and the past couple of days just a blip.
Phase plot of rolling 7-day hospitalisations vs cases since September 2020, and same data against time




To me it looks like it's been bumping around a similar level of infections and hospital admissions since July.
