rate of infection has halved in a week.

too early to tell and there is a long way to go, but its promising despite the fact there are idiots still around. T

ScoMo has been bloody brilliant so far. Has worked very well with the premiers with the now mandatory quarantining at hotels for those coming off planes, and the use of the army again.

I especially love how he is now including the vulnerable australians (mental health) What a leader. Those who want a complete lockdown perhaps need to look at the bigger picture also. Not saying either is right or wrong, but its good to look at the bigger picture.

Reserve judgement for now.

Best thing we have going for us is our population density.

Worst thing would be if people are lulled into a false sense of belief thinking we're in the clear, drop the SD a bit, and watch transmissions go up again.

So are we still slow to react Andy? Or are you reserving your judgement now?

We can judge on what has been delivered so far and it's been a great team effort led by a great PM.

Everything  else you said has been spot on in that we need to keep pushing and pushing with the full arm of the law.

Once this reactive govt gives business a wage subsidy package to save jobs then we can talk about what  sort of job they've done. Until they do that like Canada, the UK they are failing all Australians

We've been so slow to react.

What they introduced Friday should have been done weeks ago. Far too slow. Why didn't they do it after the Ruby Princess fiasco in Sydney? Why did they wait a fortnight? Throw in the hairdresser debacle and you should get the point. Been terrific, just terrific

As for your "great PM" comment, will let that go through to the keeper. Will just say Terrific, just terrific

One good day case wise won't mean much if tomorrow it goes the other way. A weeks worth of good news will mean we are getting on top of this not after one day.

Complacency is a massive threat, that selfishness and stupidity

Yes, the lockdown should have happened 2-3 weeks ago and been more strict. Look around you, it's basically business as usual. Few people working from home, a bunch of small businesses that have been F'd over, but largely everyone is going about their business without a care in the world.

20% of returning travelers gave fake addresses. Several haven't followed self isolation protocols. If it was up to me people would be fined on the spot for not following the lockdown and going to the beach etc.

I saw this as a health professional working in a hospital. The effect it will have on our community goes so far beyond confirmed cases and deaths. The prolonged effect on the economy and health sector etc.


Wuhan locked down at 400 confirmed cases more or less.

The real worry is the amount the useful idiots out there who believe -or more's the point want to believe -anything China says let alone actually think they've done a good job..... :shh

This!!!!

I watched footage from last week and the streets were littered with dead people after they “hadn’t received any new positives”

They are communist lying scum of the highest order

The saddest part of this coronavirus debacle is that a billion Chinese didn’t go down with the ship!

Look at what their population growth has been the last 70 years .. it’s very scary where it will be in another 70. They are going to destroy Earth single handedly and there won’t be a thing anyone can do about it.

You mean the guy that is president of the country now in crisis with the most Covid-19 cases after claiming a few weeks ago it was a hoax  :shh.

As for Morrison, he needs to simply stick to reading out his briefing notes from the bureaucrats and medical experts when he gives his press conferences. As soon as he goes off script he says something clueless like he did again last night about leaving home to shop for jigsaw puzzles was ok as they were an "essential item" :facepalm.

Scotty from Marketing and the Frydenberger are what we have at the moment.

Not perfect but thank God we don't have the Trumpet or the idiot from Britain running the country.

I think we should have been in lockdown earlier by 2-3 weeks. Short term pain, long term gain.

Elsewise I don't have a huge issue with how Scott Morrison is handling things. He's doing plenty of things right such as focusing money on small businesses, mental health, domestic violence etc. Those are good initiatives and I approve.

Curve looks to be flattening but I wouldn't be surprised if the community transmissions grow in the next week before dropping again a couple of weeks after.
