In terms of MOH reporting, absolutely. Triple is probably still underestimating. You’re right about hospitalisations and deaths, data is much better when we don’t rely on people self-reporting. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to find the right data (though I didn’t try particularly hard).
The graph I posted about is from a flu study, the numbers should be very reliable, just affected by the small sample size (from my rough calculations based on the graph, about 1,300 participants). From the graph it looks like about 20/80 confirmed cases, so 20/1300. With a very rough 400,000 people in the Wellington region, that’s 6,000 people with COVID in Wellington alone.
Just tracking HTTP status of lemmy.nz. Host is in an Auckland datacenter, but I don’t control it, it’s hosted by the guys at fediservices.nz. Monitoring is minimal, other than the up/down I’ve gotta dive into logs.
