The international tourist market to Australia must have just been killed stone dead. I mean that literally. What tourist is going to pay for a holiday to Australia to sit in a hotel room by themselves for two weeks quarantine? The hotel room would have to have the world's finest mini bar, that would be their only hope to attract anyone! Maybe a wide screen tele, showing Australian highlights. We normally get millions of international tourists per year. And now - zero! I can't get my head around it.

To save the tourism industry, maybe they should call for tenders to set up brothels in the airport ? So tourists can stay in the airport happily for 2 weeks !

I would question why anyone in the world would be looking at going on a holiday to anywhere at the moment with this virus raging all around the world.

We are just going to follow Europe and will be in lock down very soon ( I hope ) the sooner the better as our hospital system will not cope. If it is done in the next week then many lives of the sick and elderly will be saved.

Sure people are going to suffer financially, but that's then the time for Govt to help out, It's a waste giving it now and sitting back waiting. If we wait we will have lot's of death, hospitals full and over loaded and then have to lock down. Get the lock down going now and let's hope we can slow it right down without the mass sickness and stress on the hospitals.

Lock dock wouldn't be 2 weeks I would say 1 to 3 months Look at Wuhan is all most 2 months of lock down now. Italy have 2 weeks of lock down now still not much improvement same with S.korea.

Yes that's because they waited until the numbers got so high before the lockdown happened.

Should we follow them or try something else ?

There is no other way. Only quarantine will do. Only Hope is a vaccine come out fast if not we just have to ride it out

Scott Morrison has spoken this morning and assured the country that there is No plan for any lock down. The PM also advised that if there is any lock down plan in the future, it will and can only come from him.

Lol, you believe a man who talks to sky friends, doesn't believe in climate change, and ran away on holiday (then lied about it) during possibly our nations greatest disaster?

I have some magic beans you may be interested in, sir .....

Vast bulk of our cases flew in.

Population of Australia: ~25 million; Number of confirmed cases: <500; number of deaths: 6

Sure it is still early days, and the future is uncertain, but the figures so far are underwhelming. Most of the confirmed cases will recover.

By comparison
NSW road toll YTD: 68

About 0.5% to 1% of those will die if we can treat them all. That's what 5 dead from 500 known cases is. If we are overwhelmed and can't treat them all it will be 5% or more. So between 40 and 400 of the people who have so far caught the virus already will die.

When we get 40 to 400 dead from 8000 known cases we will go into lock down. But by then there will be 128,000 cases that will be detected 12 days later.

By Monday we will have over 1000 cases detected. When Italy had 1000 cases detected, 10 days later they had 10,000 and their death rate was moving up over 5%. We will too. Every country had been like this with minor variations in the proportion of cases detected.

Some people just like to stick their heads in the sand...

Sorry mate, but seriously I hope you are wrong on this, otherwise we will all be damned !!

Italy was a very bad case and I think there government handled it very poorly from the start, also, with the Italian cultures of kissing both cheeks on greeting, that's just asking for trouble, and with the European Union's basically non-existence border security, I sure hope that Australia being so far away and with no direct land access, will face a much lesser outbreak !! besides, when Italy started, the world knew a lot less of the virus and how it will spread back then, a few weeks is a lot more time for us to be prepared and to be alerted, hope we are in a far better position to deal with this.

God Bless Australia !!

You are right 5 days ago we have 250 case now today 530 case so by Monday will be 1000+ case.
Just keep this in mind Monday 23.March.2020 we have 1000+ case

Just wait 23/03/2020 if Australia have 1000+ case of infection from 530+ case on 18/03/2020. If the estimate is correct then we a fuck!.

I think you're confusing a few corrupt/incompetent bureaucrats with the whole country. Like, Peter Dutton and Pauline Hanson are bigots, does that make the whole of Australia, all of us bigots?
