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.

The most successful pandemic controls are built around past successes with similar diseases. @WHO recommends widespread testing, quarantine of cases, rigorous contact tracing, and effective social distancing. More- tinyurl.com/yxyxm6jd#COVID19… #coronavirusaustralia

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 #auspol #coronavirusaustralia #COVID19Aus

Keep it simple- if people aren’t in your family bubble, keep 2 metres apart. Shops need to create lines and coach people to comply. #ausbiz #auspol #coronavirusau #COVID19Aus
