LOL @ Melbourne 'beaches' - why even bother?

Coz Sydney has the only sand and water on the planet...

 

[egalite]

Considering No testing is or has or will be done for Asymptomatic people who have potentially been exposed in workspaces etc etc we are just now seeing the tip of the iceberg.

 

[gandaal]

Not necessary at this stage surely .

I am all for stage 3/stronger measures but a total lockdown does not give people who have recently lost their jobs times and means to prepare themselves.

We will not have the outbreak that has plagued Italy, Spain and The USA, given our current trajectory, with most new cases seemingly still linked to people arriving in Australia.

I am.perfectly happy for the status quo to remain in Victoria for another couple of weeks, we do need some semblance of liberty and freedom (like walking the dog or taking kids to the park etc)

A full lockdown might make things worse in many respects (repeat scenes of hoarding shoppers and fights at Coles/Woolies etc)

We are getting closer to a vaccine/cure for this Virus, it is not going to drag on for months and months (least in Australia), I think everyone needs to chillax a bit and don't be concerned with what is happening overseas, scientists have said the virus is developing and infecting people at a less severe rate than in China or Europe.

At our current trajectory we'll be Italy in 2 weeks... just with a younger populous and a better health system.

The South koreans have handled the corona virus the best out of all Nations. The Guy who is in charge is interviewed here. Its all sub titled but there is some VERY good information . If you have the time please watch.

Most young people don’t even see old people they look straight through them
They don’t see Scott Morrison he is an old codger
We need a social media and mainstream media campaign
This needs to be fronted by djs actors artists Sports people all young all relevant we need to get the message out
This needs to happen now

dont think this is true. we are currently averaging ~400 per day. 2 weeks ago Italy was averaging ~3000.

Maybe you're right. Might be three weeks instead.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

One thing is certain. When we wake in the morning we’ll still be confronting this catastrophe. Rinse and repeat.

Just goes to show how little you know about what a beach is eh? Big Surf at St Kilda is there?

 

[myblueroan]

Not only asymptomatic but hundreds or thousands with mild symptoms who still do not meet criteria for testing.

Good pastries!

One of our Prime Ministers drowned on a Melbourne surf beach. Never seen again. Plenty of surf beaches near and around Melbourne.

Data shows Italians have contained new infections rates to ~5000 per day over the last 10 days. Its still a bad situation (5000/day) but it is not spiraling out of control like it seems to be in the US....there the new infections are still trending upwards and is currently ~18000/d. NY would be a very scary place right now.

Not spiraling out of control?

Over 9,000 people have lost their lives from the virus!

 

[therubbernub]

Italy has a population over double ours, so we must adjust for that. If you do our spread is lagging behind europe/italy - but not by as much as well would like to think.

we were talking about new infection rates Jeremias...not deaths.

if you dont test you dont count... The US is way behind in there counting- but catching up

 

[Jeremias]

How many new infections?

Regardless, on a day where Italy recorded the highest number of deaths in a 24 hr period, I'm not sure saying the situation isn't spiralling out of control is accurate.

So South Korea a model for controlling the virus has closed there schools

 

[gandaal]

Only a prediction but it gives you a general idea of the direction we're headed.

You're kidding right?

Their death rate is at 45% of closed cases. They just had their highest single day of deaths. They had their 2nd and 3rd highest tally of new cases in the last 2 days

They will exceed their highest tally of deaths in the next 24 hours

It's still dire

Kentucky vs Tennessee has already proven that closing schools makes a significant positive impact. Clear data despite what Morrison says.

 

[Skull Face]

Not only asymptomatic but hundreds or thousands with mild symptoms who still do not meet criteria for testing.

What is most scary is that they are using community transfers to gauge when we need to lock down completely but if you mention you have flu symptoms the 1st two questions they ask are have you had direct contact or been overseas and if you say no they won't even test you.

NSW having 100+ community transfers must be just the cases severe enough to force them to test which means there is likely 10 times that who will never be tested for it.

What's morbidly fascinating about it all is the comparison to Germany.

Similar age demographics. Both have a high rate of infection (2nd most vs 5th most). Germany has had far fewer deaths.

Why?

Germany has better medical, isolated earlier and Italy is the 2nd oldest nation
