Nice work Australia! Now for (even more) very hard thinking on 'where to from here'.
Our estimates for the effective reproduction number in Australian states. Good news is we have clear evidence that it is (well) under 1. Methodological details and further analyses to come. Thanks @dj_price10 @freya_shearer and LSHTM. #COVID19Aus #StayHomeAustralia

Good to see @Covid19NSW targeting hotspots, to test the community, before considering loosening social restrictions. Targeted and wide spread testing flushes out mild cases for isolation and reduces spread. Please get your flu shot to reduce demand on our healthcare system.

We are starting to “flatten the curve” in Australia and health officials can soon flush out Covid-19 clusters. But expect a spike in cases, as reported n today’s @australian

How is “modelling” most usefully applied during a pandemic? It’s probably best used to consider “worst case scenarios” and then plan for numbers of ICU beds, Protective equipment needed (PPEs), burials etc. tinyurl.com/yxyxm6jd

Curve flattening ? Oz epi curve below shows decline daily cases. But like big outbreaks (SARS '03) dont just stop dead; have long tail over many weeks from few cases. To prevent resurgence keep border closed, place mild cases away from households.

Can #COVID19 ever be completely eradicated?
@Marks1Guy: It's unlikely we'll completely get rid of it, risk of return is high. We've been successful with other viruses, but the extent and spread of #coronavirus makes it unlikely without a vaccine.

Can antibacterial wipes kill #COVID19?
@MarylouiseMcla1: In theory yes, they're loaded with alcohol but none have been tested or approved for #coronavirus by the TGA yet.
@PalliThordarson: Use them if you've nothing else, but soap and alcohol gel are your frontline defence.

When will it be over? @MarylouiseMcla1 the doubling has slowed down — we are no way near the last case, please keep social distancing & keep washing you hands. “We are no where near the end yet.” #COVID19au
