    Tip.....if you know of any Greek/Italian specialty shops you may find plenty of food stuff in abundance.
    Avoid mainstream

    In other words it does turn into the annual flu. Not trying to make light of this, but that seems to be where we are headed? Social distancing to flatten the curve, and over a couple of cycles the majority develop herd immunity.

    If it mutates, it MAY become less harmful. That's what TENDS to happen.

    I wonder if there might be a staged reopening in Australia, with restrictions lifted first on those who have been infected and recovered.
    Hard to administer and provides a perverse incentive for those who believe they are at low risk of a serious illness, to get themselves infected and so put an end-date on their isolation.
    Those recovered would need a document to prove their status. I can see it now, "Papiere bitte" :)

    Which of your relatives would you sacrifice so Uber Eats can keep running? That’s the reality of the trade off.

    which would you sacrifice so you can shop at Coles or Woolies? Just cos Government allows this does not mean it has no risk, or less risk than uber

    People at higher risk perhaps higher isolation/restrictions??

    lets keep in mind the stats in terms of deaths, recovery % so we keep it in perspective. 97/98% recover

    Be also interested in average age of people who died of coronavirus in Australia. I think median is 78 years of age

    A skewed analogy.

    If the tradeoff is between quarantining the elderly and millions of unemployed?

    Deaths are currently increasing at about 10% per day. If this continues, by the end of June, pretty much everyone in Australia will have been infected and there will be over 100,000 dead. Most in the last 2 weeks of June.
    Anyone with 4 Grandparents, should be aware it is 50/50 all of them to see Christmas.

    I dont think so 50/50??

    Thats excluding any new positive developments, and whats currently happening to contain and the recovery rate

    I am expecting some positive news soon, otherwise why are we shutting down everything??? Not to mention killing our economy???Makes no sense

    People at higher risk are still going to cop it if the rest of us carry on. Look at the Alfred hospital, 3 cancer patients dead and 100 staff in quarantine. This is everyone's problem now, and we all have to do our part.

    Absolutely. It does not take into consideration any lowering of the death rate, but that's where we are going right now. Do the math.
    Currently 39 dead, so add 10% per day for the next 3 months. It really is horrifying.
    I hope what the government is doing is enough.

    I would think encouraging home deliver for everything be the way to go. Shutdown the supermarkets and allow a situation where uber eats and other can deliver for them

    This is no different to the claim a few weeks ago where it was 200,000 infected by April 1 based on the "math".

    It was 400% wrong.

    Our daily infection rates are stabilised and/or failing. Sadly we will see more pass away over the next fortnight but I would expect it to taper off.

    What absolute crap!!!!

    Our daily death rate is higher now because our daily inflection rate was at its highest two weeks ago, from 22 to 28 March. The higher death rate is to be expected.

    Since then, our daily infection rate had “fallen off a cliff”.

    Our death rate can’t keep going up 10% per day for the next 3 months if less and less people are being infected on a daily basis.

    If it did, one would soon run out of infected people to die.

    As you would say:
