Interestingly , nearly half the Victorian cases have recovered. If NSW is tracking similarly, it means recoveries are keeping up with new infections, and our hospitals should not overload, though i'm sure the severe cases also have longer recovery.
Where are you getting this info from?

Here is an excellent site that has detailed information on Cases, Deaths, Transmissions and even Hospitalizations for Australia and the individual States.


If you click on an individual State it even details ICU cases versus ICU beds available

For example, for Victoria

Literally 4 posts up.
 
Honestly don't see why not.

NSW have come out with some wishy washy Statement about it being "too difficult" to judge when a patient has recovered.


*Recoveries are likely to be much higher as this figure is only reported in four jurisdictions.

Across Australia, at least 636 people have recovered. This figure underestimates the true number of recoveries because it is reported in only four jurisdictions — Victoria, WA, the ACT and Tasmania — and only Victoria reports this figure daily.

A NSW Health media spokeswoman told ABC News it does not report this figure because it is too difficult to define when a person is considered to have recovered from the disease.

However, assuming recoveries are not limited to only four jurisdictions, the national number of confirmed current cases is less than 4,666.


the part in italics above comes from here


Not sure why Queensland is all silent and glum in this regard.

I find it incredible we don't have a National Standard. The so called "bell curve" relies on Active cases at any point of time.

How can anyone construct a meaningful bell curve of Active cases if the total for the number of Recoveries is incomplete?

You didn't even watch the video. You don't know what you're talking about. You're just looking more and more foolish; that's all I need to know about you.

You have a severe superiority complex. The type of 'know-all' phenomena we see in a lot of younger people 20-30 who are self taught doctors, lawyers, engineers and scientists.

Not really racist to 'wonder' if cultural habits have a bearing. The main problem for the italians in italy was they were caught quite unawares and the rest of us have been able to save lives based on them owning their 'errors'.
Large regular family gatherings is not unique to italians but its anecdotally a factor. They dont live together any more than we do

Indeed how can we track progress if we are not tracking accurately?
 
In fact in the Italian North the number of people living in a house is significantly less than here.

Probably not in new york either. its the regular large family gatherings which are pretty much mandatory which may be a cultural factor.

Its just culture - like whats emerging here in aus is we have better off bogans in better off suburbs who think they know best
 
Click on this link to check coronavirus tally each day in every country deaths etc scroll right down to the bottom of it. America is going off the chart now with the virus but don't believe china as it hasn't changed much over the past 2 weeks which i find hard to believe. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

That one ******* boat screwed half the country. I think 20% of South Australian cases are directly related to the Ruby Princess and that figure will probably rise here and nationwide. And I'm yet to hear of any heads rolling and only hear blame games, Gladys, someone at NSW health or Border control should be gone after all this.
Stuff ups happen. Pretty bad in the current circumstance when they do, but its inevitable that some do.

There's no doubt ABF have questions to answer, even if they got bad advice from NSW health and even if the crew lied about the situation; it came after it was announced everyone coming off a ship would need to undergo self-isolation. ABF are responsible for immigration and customs, and enforcing any federal rule on those fronts regardless of advice from a state authority. ABF possibly cannot detail people in that case; using other powers they can; but they are ultimately responsible for every entry into the country.

If NSW Health did give that advice, they also have questions to answer as to how that came about.

Other than the problems caused by the breah, the next biggest is that neither agency seem to accept any fault. Maybe internally they are, but judging by their external responses they aren't even looking at any systemic failures that need fixing. They're just looking at blame shifting, like PR leads they way over substance.

Stuff ups can be understood; some less than others. Not even attempting to learn from them, particularly in current circumstances where quick learning is vital, cannot be forigven.

you're fu**in kidding aren't you?

maybe if you're a 40-year member of the Geelong cheer squad but fu** me.

actual mental health – ya know, proper depression and bipolar and personality disorders – are not so flimsy they're triggered by the footy not being on. people went through wars, great depressions, harsher worldwide flus and did it in squalid conditions in the freezing cold with rationed food and no entertainment.
The smallest thing can set off someone who was possibly headed down that path anyway. It could be the tipping point for some, but very likely something else would have been quite soon anyway.
A lack of sport to watch is unlikely to be the cause of "situational depression"; but someone who lives with a background clinical depression their whole lives can be driven much deeper over the most trivial thing. Logic isn't always at work; much less "other people have it worse". Objectively, yes, but objectivity goes out the window very quickly.
 
The population density in Milan is 7500 people per sq km.

The population density in Sydney is 1200 people per sq km.
mmm
Greater Sydney is very large ( 12,368 km²) and partly semi rural still. Inner eastern suburbs like Randwick have densities up about 4800 / sq km. They are all big on back packers, travellers and residents that travel OS. A bit complex to compare.
 
Absolutely they need a plan, but with a flexible start date that will come to light with 3 or 4 weeks notice.

Noone has any idea how long we will all be impacted, and to place a date of June 11 on it at this stage is both bewildering and deluded.
Nominating a hopeful goal is entirely reasonable. It's deluded to think that a company the size of the AFL could make a plan without nominating a hopeful target date. For all you know that might be the soonest possible date that they could be ready to play again, which is why they've nominated it.
