Some Numbers Found

Just got the news, the magic number of 40% downloads that Scotty from marketing was tossing around as the magic number for social distancing restrictions and the boot can be removed from all the proles necks.

I have written before about the lack of details regarding numbers and restrictions. The figures came out in a Senate committee hearing today where other evidence was that the Covid-19 app was not that good at the electronic handshake from smart phone to smart phone, also it would not work that well if the smart phones were locked whilst electronically shaking hands.

To crack the numbers down:-

• Smart phone numbers in Australia are roughly 18.5 million,
• 40% of that number is roughly 7.4 million,
• Uptake started on approximately 26/4/20 so has been going 11 days and is at roughly 5.1 million,
• We have two days to get up to 7.4 million, so 1.3 million more,
• Average per day so far is roughly 450,000,
• 2 more days at average will take us to roughly 6 million.

So we don't get the numbers so if Scotty from marketing is to be believed, there will be no lifting of social distancing rules.

I believe we will get lifted restrictions, it has to happen if Scotty from marketing wants to hold onto his job.

After all, it is about the numbers in politics and the polls cannot go below the elusive 40% to ensure next election success.
