Curently sitting at 136 cases for today with NT and Tas still to report. So as it stands we have our first sub 3% day. Currenlty at 2.45%.
Ha ha. There are fewer than previously, and to be honest they usually are not an issue (used to be a nightmare in terms of alcohol related violence etc when there were big numbers). But the blatant disregard for the current rules is kind of shitty. And right now, I don't think they need to be given a lot of leeway.I didn’t realise backpackers were allowed in Coogee in peace times let alone now.

Look, do you guys want to secede, or not? Make up your minds!I think what we'll see is a last-in, first-out on the restrictions. That is, the most recent and toughest restrictions will be released first, like here in WA the intra-state and inter-state travel bans, assuming that things flatten right off. Then we might see outdoor gatherings loosen up a bit, then pubs/restaurants. I agree with Froggy that until the situation with other countries is sorted out that international travel is going to be locked down.

Great read that takes in the views from a range of Academics on what the world looks like socially , economically , and politically , on the “other side”
The US Emperor may have no clothes.
But he sure as shit got a big ass Military and a broken mass that wouldn't take much to be easily manipulated and galvanized.
Part of me thinks this could be the last card they have.
If anything, the fact that shit is hitting the fan now in the US means it will be out of lockdown before anyone else and its economic power will likely increase.
I'm not really sure it's going to work like that. It will still have only gone through a fraction of their population. Certainly way less than would provide any level of herd immunity.
Getting new case numbers down to close to zero seems like a faster way back towards normal than letting it run rampant through the population.
Australia's goal (and we're so far tracking in the right direction) is to get new daily cases down as close to zero as possible. As there is less need to test potential cases testing should shift to a more randomised nature (which the ACT has started today) to see the extent of unknown cases in the community.
Hopefully we get to the point where we can re-open domestic travel routes and then travel to and from New Zealand as they will most likely be in a better place than us in terms of low case numbers sooner.
Ultimately bringing in antibody testing to help work out how much of the community had the virus with no symptoms and should now be immune will also play a big role.
