data gathering was going very well with CR testing, but some pollies wanted to save money and shut down covid as a non-issue. once RATs were available they dumped regulation and management in favour of sweeping the problem under the carpet and data collection became useless. So now we don't have complete and accurate data.

reporting of adverse events in also incomplete according to Phelps and her concern is that theres now confusion between 2 distinct pathological processes which appear similar.

this is not only an Aus issue though as there has been even worse data collection in US, Brazil, India and many other countries including EU nations. Until RATs were introduced Aus was among the best countries for data collection even though there remained clear areas of neglect that have shown up more recently, as discussed in Phelps submission.

"Beginners' mistake". .... accurate data collection is a holy grail for every nation. until the 50's this was a project to be achieved and it remains so.

100 yrs since the last equivalent pandemic so yeah this has been a global first for management and analysis. Here the old system of vaccine acquisition and distribution was thrown out as the fed Gov wanted control and look at the mess that was made from that. Beginners' mistakes aplenty hey.

still the data collection in many countries has been unprecedented but none have ben able to achieve that holy grail. Yet its been the biggest data collection in global history.

this will roll on for years to come as analysis of the flaws as well as the data become the theses of many PhD students.

cheers nip and happy Shakespeare month.

But there was the Hong Kong flu epidemic in 1968, which should be compared to Covid. The 1918 flu epidemic was very different from Covid.
