Probably like the video, compounded with with being able to build Massive hospitals in two weeks, and opressive enforcement of lockdowns.

How is everyone doing in this time of uncertainty? Do any members have the virus? How is it affecting your place of work? Hope all is well for all but fear things may be a bit drastic for some.

6 days since this thread was created.
The govt have implemented stricter laws on isolation, schools are shutting and borders across Aus are being ‘closed’. Never seen anything like this before.

Pleasing numbers of new cases in Aus.

The numbers are pleasing but remember that the testing is still very restricted so they are only testing international travellers, their immediate contacts plus patients who meet a very narrow set of diagnostic criteria. Of course, it’s not unexpected that as the number of travellers fall, so do the number of positive results from that group, so that might be why numbers are not rising exponentially. The big worry is that people can have this virus and be contagious without any symptoms and therefore can spread the disease unless they are practising social isolation. Until the testing is done more widely, we can have no idea of the extent of community spread. The related concern is that the community sees the current numbers and become complacent. The consequence of that could be increased community spread as people who don’t realise they have the virus feel like the urgency to stay isolated has eased So they can go out a bit more and not worry so much about following govt advice. Its important to stay vigilant and inside. We’re at a crucial time now.

The other thing to know is that what we're seeing now is the reduction in spread due to the earlier stages of social distancing and it will take more than a week for any new changes to appear in the data due to the lag between contracting coronavirus and the onset of symptoms. |
