From everything I have read their lack of social distancing is not working out too well for them.

[sprintcyclist]

yes, I was unaware of that.

What they were doing looked 'wrong' compared to what we are doing.
We are very careful, it is very boring.

The good news is the mortality rate in Aussie is about 1.7%
To put that in perspective, the flu has a normal mortality rate of under 0.1%

Australia ‘on the cusp’ of defeating pandemic
RICHARD FERGUSON 2 HOURS AGO | 2.30PM

Australia is “on the cusp” of defeating the coronavirus pandemic as the range of people infected by one COVID-19 patient is getting lower and lower.

Deputy chief medical officer Paul Kelly said Australia is not at the danger rate of infection — an average of five people infected by one direct source — and that the epidemic could die out in several weeks at the earliest: as long as shutdown measures remain in place and people continue to socially distance.

“Ideally, where you want to be is below one. So less than other person being infected, once the person themselves is infected,” he said in Canberra.

“Once you get to that point, the epidemic dies out. At the moment, we’re probably on the cusp of that in Australia.

“Whether that’s where we’re going to be in several weeks or months’ time remains to be seen. But at the moment, we’re certainly not anywhere near five (people being infected by one person).”

Dr Kelly said it was still too early to lift social distancing restrictions and urged Australians to stay home for Easter.

Encouraging figures showed the infection rate rising just 1.8 per cent over the past three days.

Australia’s daily increase in cases fell below 100 on Thursday, the first time it has slipped under that daily threshold for three weeks.

More than 6100 people in Australia have contracted coronavirus, with 53 deaths — including new deaths on Friday in NSW and Victoria.
