For all the breathless carry on there are 18 serious cases
But..but, our intensive care units are going to be swamped...
And we accepted the lockdown so it could provide healthcare the time to ramp up resources and prevent it being overwhelmed.
we all know that narrative changed some time in May.
Given a massive number of the new identified cases are apparently asymptomatic, would a similar ramp up in testing elsewhere in Australia give similar results?
It’s the thing that I reckon some State Premiers are fearing, watching the Victoria situation.
On one hand they have “contained”, but the level of testing in Victoria is extremely high. Almost 30,000 tests in one day, next day peak of 280+ cases.

I found this quote from Conor McKenna, the Essendon player that sparked the cancelled game 3 weeks back, to be pretty interesting
“On the Friday it’s called a false positive … so I had to get retested on the Saturday and that came up positive,” McKenna said on the Teamtalkmag Tyrone Facebook page.
“And then I got retested on the Tuesday and I got negative.
“So to be honest I still don’t really know what happened, and then I tested negative probably three times in a row in that week and got bloods done.
“That showed that maybe I had it six weeks ago maybe when I was in Ireland after a flight, so there’s really still no clarity."
This virus is so bad, you need to get tested to know you have it, and even then, you might not have it, or you might have had it before and not now.

Best we all panic based on inaccurate testing.

This strain seems to be much more virulent than what we had before.
Could be environmental? Colder weather combined with a snap back community relaxation

Victoria has recorded 428 cases of the coronavirus in the past 24 hours, The Australian understands.
Multiple sources have told The Australian of the record daily increase in case numbers of COVID-19.
Victoria’s Department of Premier and Cabinet declined to confirm the number.
Of the 428 new cases recorded on Friday, 370 are under investigation.Given their abject failure in contact tracing, small wonder they're seeing increasing numbers.

Apparently there's more than 400 new cases in Victoria today.
It's getting really ugly, and it's now in more than 35 nursing homes.
This strain seems to be much more virulent than what we had before.
My sister lives in Melbourne and they expect to be in level 4 shortly. She is farken spewing, seriously thinking about moving home
