      1 in 106 overseas acquired cases are linked to a HQ breach in the past 6 months. For total arrivals, it's 1 case for every 8,772 https://covidlive.com.au/breaches pic.twitter.com/a3n6H2IjTV

      Would be useful to add a column for outbreaks (where there is onward transmission) especially now that quarantine staff are mostly vaccinated

          yes, that's an important consideration -- their impact, and how they're managed. NZ's breaches per arrival are higher than Australia's but with lower overall infections & fatalities. I'd also factor scale & duration of lockdowns

          oops meant to embed this, breaches in bottom row. Chart at link also shows NZ's comparative cumulative cases & deathshttps://twitter.com/EstherRockett/status/1387971917307469830?s=20 …

          My calculations don't have the sophistication of Anthony's, but NZ has had more HQ breaches per arrival than Oz at a rate of 15 vs 8. That suggests the way they're managed is very important factor to consider https://estherrockett.com/2021/04/23/stranded-aussies-and-insular-australias-makeshift-pandemic-safety/ … pic.twitter.com/thVnh0MEuc

          Tricky case definition problem too for "breach" there were those two security guards at the Marriott in Sydney they never established if one infected the other or not (don't remember exact dates). Is that one breach or two?

          Not sure you can avoid politicization with state-by-state comparisons these days!
