It's going to be fascinating reading after we get through this to work out why different countries have had such amazingly different responses and outcomes. I'll be slightly disappointed if it's as simple as "we implemented social distancing early enough, but at least we'll know what to do next time.
Certainly looks like some hubris not preparing based on Asia's recent experiences.
Italy is a catalogue of how NOT to do it.

It's official. The apocalypse is upon us. The streets of Llandudno have been taken over by...
... goats!

Probably a seat-belt law against riding in the boot - even voluntarily.

I read into it that they got stopped for a minor infringement but used the wrong pronouns.

I realise America is a much bigger country than Australia but fuck me that is some jump in a month. As I have mentioned before the spread of this virus must have started much much earlier for them to have the number they do. I also wonder how many people died from it and were not counted as they were not testing for it at that stage.

@Tim sounds promising...?
Sounds like a long way to go. Also sounds like people shouldn't just take the drug willy nilly as has been reported in the US for example

@taniwharugby Maybe. At least it's not discouraging.

remember, that's positive tests, not numbers. I think the USA numbers were massive prior to the testing ramping up; they were just not seeing it.
That's kind of the message the Govt has been sent - that you don't know what is in the community because you're not testing. Test, baby, test

That's why isolation/lockdown is important. Even if you have the virus but don't know it, the fuckers should run their course within 2 weeks or so, then you are much less likely to unwittingly spread it to another
