I see the US is over 80,000 cases now, they will be the most infected country in next 24 hours. Whilst the virus originated In China I think the US were the ones who spread it far and wide. Will be interesting to see the death toll if they open up by Easter.

Monitoring the rate of change here, we've had a couple of flatter days. Was sitting at an increase of ~1.22 but dropped into the ~1.15 range
Blue line needs to drop below 1.0 of course, BUT the big issue might yet be flights landing and more imported (as opposed to locally transmitted) cases. Apparently different airports are giving out different advice slips

@pakman because their media department made a video to show people exactly what they shouldn't be doing? What's wrong with it?
The vehicles were well spaced. Those walking in the park were keeping their distance. That's NOT what the Government Guidelines are meant to stop.
If there was a full car park, queues to get in and bunched up walkers, THAT would be woryh making a video about.

So they should wait until it gets that way and then make a video? Or nip it in the bud? What should they focus on in the meantime?

They were leaders in stopping flights and banning travel. I am not sure if your logic in accusing them of spreading it a far and wide. Sounds like Chinese communist party propaganda.

TBF, Trump was way ahead of Europe and other countries. I recall him being accused of racism in Jan (IIRC) when he banned flights from China and other infected areas.

@Baron-Silas-Greenback Pretty simple really, the amount of cases they have would suggest the virus started spreading there early. Americans are wealthy and travel a lot. Most of the cases in Australia were from American tourists. America took ages to start testing which meant the world was not aware of the threat American tourists posed.

@Victor-Meldrew He should have banned his own citizens from traveling to be fair, the Chinese had their shit on lock down by that point.

I'm no fan of the man, but why just criticize Trump?
It's looking increasingly possible, even likely, that the key infection point outside of Asia was a ski bar in Austria in mid-January and the authorities covered it up.

What an age we live in.
Communications minister Paul Fletcher may have successfully convinced the likes of Google and Netflix to limit the impact of their high definition streams on the Australian network but now he may face a new challenge: swelling demand for one of the world's top adult sites in the light of its new worldwide freemium promotion and a captive home-bound audience.

Looking at the numbers, it's patently obvious to me that the growth is in no small measure due to escalation in testing. On the 18th they had 7,783 confirmed cases, a week later 65,778. They're simply identifying more accurately who already has it.

No Austrians in that bar? They didn't have a confirmed case until 25th of February.
