Coronavirus - Australia's a Great Place To Be Right Now

Post Reply New Topic

We seem to be doing a pretty good job "flattening the curve" here, and we never even went into full lockdown.

The Northern Territory only ever had a total of 28 reported coronavirus cases, and they haven't had a new reported case in two weeks. They're already looking at easing restrictions.

My state was getting around 40-70 cases daily for a couple of weeks, but those numbers have decreased drastically over the past month. In the past 7 days, we've had a total of only 11 new reported cases, with 0 new reported cases on 3 of the 7 days, including today and yesterday.

Of the 1000 total cases we've had, only about 80 are still active amongst our population of 5 million people.

You guys are on an island, just like New Zealand which is also doing well.

I’d rather be in New Zealand. They have a much more likeable leader than Australia has.

*Salute*

But yeah, it is an island, so that helps. We Finns are also doing pretty great if we take in to account that we're between Russia and, ugh, Sweden.
