COVID-19 deaths​

There are now a total of 1,638 deaths confirmed as attributable to COVID-19, either as the underlying cause of death or as a contributing factor. This is the number that will be reported to the World Health Organization as it provides the most accurate assessment of COVID-19 related mortality in New Zealand.

In the past seven days there have been an average of 14 deaths confirmed each day as being attributable to COVID-19. This is a very sad time for whānau and friends of those who have died, and our thoughts and condolences are with them.

Information on the number of new deaths of people with COVID-19 reported to the Ministry of Health in the last 24 hours, and the seven-day rolling average, is available on the Ministry of Health website. This includes information on the age band and location of these newly reported deaths.

I wouldn't have thought there'd be enough anti vax staff to have any power plays, a few hundred throughout the country last I heard, although they make a lot of noise for a tiny group. What you've heard about this big struggle could be coming out of their echo chamber and no one else gives a shit. Hospitals are naturally going be the most cautious and the last place to loosen health precautions.

Have noticed it getting a bit stronger, not so much anti vax but more ‘I’ve played by the rules previously but had enough now, no more’ type mentality

Update to reported vaccination rates​

COVID-19’s vaccination data is currently undergoing a technical update, which will mean some changes in reported vaccination rates. These will be routinely published from Wednesday (10 August), in line with our normal weekly reporting cycle.

These changes are the result of Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand moving to using 2021 Health System User (HSU) data, replacing the 2020 HSU data that has been previously used. As a result, we will be adding a larger group of New Zealanders to the list of those who are eligible for COVID-19 vaccinations, as part of improvements to the vaccination programme.

Moving to the 2021 HSU data will mean a technical decrease in reported vaccination rates overall because of the larger number of eligible New Zealanders being identified. However, they will make no difference to the total number of New Zealanders vaccinated, which remains the same and will continue to increase as more people are vaccinated.

This decrease in the overall vaccine rate is because, while we have the same number of people vaccinated, we are now dividing that number by a larger group of eligible people. This larger group now includes people who have used health services during the 2021 calendar year, that were not captured in the 2020 HSU data.

Information and Stat Update

As most of you know for the last 893 days, yes that's how long we have had covid in NZ for I have been keeping stats on the coronavirus.

It got to the point where it was taking roughly 2 hours to update the daily numbers into my spreadsheet.

I use 12 different sections and as you may imagine it takes a lot of time to update them manually.

Here are the sections in case you are wondering.

1: Overall

2: Cases under the Traffic Light System

3: Cases after the Auckland Borders were re-opened

4: PCR's and RAT's test combined

5: Cases with Kiwis coming back from Australia

6: Cases with Kiwis returning from around the world

7: Cases with when we stopped scanning our QR Codes

8: Cases with no more gathering limits

9: Cases with Omicron entering NZ

10: Cases with International visitors returning to NZ

11: Cases with different Omicron variants found in NZ

12: And lastly cases under the new NZ Public Health system


Why you may ask would I use 12 sections to cover the covid cases when 1 or 2 could be enough? That's how my mind works, so I can track how well we are doing in all 12 sections.

So as you can imagine it taking 2 hours to manually update can be exhausting, so 2 weeks ago I came up with a method to automatically track each section. I should have done this about a year ago, but a year ago it wasn't taking me 2 hours to do a day.

I had to go back through each area (all 20 cities and towns that the DHB use to record each area), and manually get all of them up to date.

I am finally able to state that I am now up to date with that, and from tomorrow going forwards can just input the daily numbers and watch everything get automatically updated to the way I want.

I am so happy. Everything is now up to date. I will provide an update next post to show where the numbers are.


I get my 2 hours back now. Or most of my 2 hours. Wahoo.

Australian cricketer Tahlia McGrath was allowed to play the commonwealth final despite testing positive for Covid-19 that day and having mild symptoms!

I’m waiting for Djokovic to get an apology now

Hypocrites…

COVID-19 case data

These newly reported deaths have not yet been categorised as to whether they are attributable to COVID-19, either as the underlying cause of death or as a contributing factor or are unrelated to COVID-19. As this categorisation is made over coming days, the attributable deaths will be added to the total reported above.
