Lets do the maths: doubling on track every 3 days, no where near flattening out where doubling slows at every 6+days. Conclusion: Time to up efforts. Better/enforced social distancing, testing all high risk groups (e.g. cruises), IT tracking for imposed isolation, close schools.

Let’s do the maths: Monday approx 1,500 cases, Thurs 3,000 and so on. Full border lockdown is good but late; infected need support and monitoring. Home care for mild cases will increase the spread. Time for dedicated hospitals to reduce spread. #coronavirusaustralia #COVID19Aus

Thanks Robyn! Yes, you mostly see us when things aren’t so good :(
Social distancing - 1m,1.5m,2m,2.5m...? Lets do the science: 1960s 1m rule for droplet spread based on smallpox. 1940s flu spread 2.6m in lab. 1m rule for droplet disputed after SARS. USA now use 2-3m rule. Conclusion, COVID-19 distance not known, max distance better
