According to the New Zealand Herald, a man infected with coronavirus attended the TOOL concert in Auckland on February 28. He may have been infectious at the time. He was in the general admission standing area in the front left-hand quadrant at Spark Arena.
The man, the partner of the woman announced as positive on Wednesday, has been in self-isolation since yesterday. The couple returned from northern Italy last week.
Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield told media: "We encourage all people in the area of the concert to be aware of the symptoms and contact the Healthline if concerned. The advice is that the risk is very low for all others who attended this concert.
"There was no way of tracking the people who were in that area of the concert. They are classed as causal contacts and the advice to them is to call Healthline if they have any symptoms."

Spark Arena seems aptly named.
what a tool...Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
Huh huh huh. Tool.
I was just listening to Tool yesterday wondering if they were going to continue their tour with all this corona fun going on.
Seems like life is going to be changing.
Urrrrrrruhhh?
What a tool.
I guess Jeff Bezos’ (among other elites) bolt hole isn’t safe anymore.
Yep. They start touring the northwest later this month. I bet they cancel.
Looks like big events are on hold for the next few months.
I wouldn’t perform if I was them, and I also probably be worried as all Hell if I was them.
That’s gotta be a wrenching experience.
He’s screwed.
Never heard of Tool, and they have been around 30 years. Los Angeles Band no less where I have unfortunately lived a lot longer than 30 years.
People are STILL going to concerts? Serves them right.
One of my favorites.
WOW!
I’m gonna need more layers of tinfoil for my hat!!!!
Great find.
I have tickets to see The Who in May. This better not screw that up!
These numbers include Mainland China and All Others globally
98,387 declared cases
03,383 declared deceased
55,441 declared recovered
58,824 declared resolved
39,563 remaining active cases
The mortality rate at this time was deceased / deceased + recovered = 5.75%.
That is a fluid number that is now dropping at the rate of about 0.05% per day.
Due to the rapid increase in cases outside China, and the short period they
have had to reach the recovery phase, this mortality rate is slowing in it's
retreat. It likely start climbing again within a few days.
On 03/05 95.10% of all new cases were being reported outside of Mainland
China. The outside China active cases now account for 39.95% of all global
remaining active cases. That figure grew by 5.07% on Thursday 03/05. Within
48 hours over 50% of all remaining active cases, will exist outside Mailand
China for the first time.
58,824 cases have been decleared resolved, and that represents 59.788% of all
declared cases to date. (resolved = deceased or recovered)
Active cases are increasing again. For the first time since 02/17, the number of
acive cases grew on Thursday (03/05). The active cases grew by 823 cases. That
number will be larger in upcoming days. There are now 39,563 active cases. That
is 19,246 less cases than there were at 15:13 PST on 02/17/2020. That figure was
58,809.
Numbers seem to indicate that we are at least two weeks away from another peak, and
perhaps much longer. Look for active cases to grow by 1500 to 2500 for an
indeterminate period of time.
The number of people who recovered today (03/02), was 2,139.
These numbers address the cases outside of Mainland China.
17,832 declared cases
00,341 declared deceased
01,685 declared recovered
02,026 declared resolved
15,806 remaining active cases
At this point 18.12% of all declared cases exist outside Mainland China.
(eod: 03/05) At the same time, 39.95% of all active cases exist outside mainland
China.
The current mortality rate of deceased / deceased + recovered is 16.83% falling from
18.59% at EOD 03/04, the previous day. That figure is still grosely high, and should
not be used for purposes of extrapolation of what lies ahead. It takes serveral weeks
for people to be infected, and recover. That gives the deaths a head start. As in
the large body of cases above, this mortality rate will decline, and will pick up
speed as the recovery rate outside Mainland China reaches it's full potential. That
will at least several more weeks.
There are now 15,806 active cases outside of Mainland China. The number of
active cases grew 2,792 cases today, and that was a rate of 16.96%. (EOD 03/05)
Ninety-three nations are now declaring cases within their borders. 1+
Three nations of the 92 nations or entities outside of Mainland China account for
over 75% of all active cases outside China at this time.
6,284 35.24% South Korea
3,858 21.64% Italy
3,513 19.70% Iran
76.58% of all cases ourside of China...
These are clearly three break-out naitons. The next possible hot spots:
0423 France
0545 Germany
0282 Spain
0233 the U. S.
It's not necessarily the number of current cases, as much as the velocity of growth.
When I see a naiton's count growing by 50% every day or two, it causes concern.
All of this informaton is derived from the database below, which was built using the
Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus status page. I watch it daily and capture three
to five batches of data per day.
In my spreadsheet linked below, you'll find global numbers including China. You will
find a separate section addressing just the Outside China figures. There are also
a lot of special stats broken out for you to browse. The history of 93 nations and
their Coronavirus record is there for you to view.
You're welcoem to it.
