Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!
We killed millions of Aussie Jobs for 63 Deaths
Well done Australia!
The jobs will come back, those 63 people won't. How many deaths would it be if they didn't shut anything down? The answer is Sweden.

thats what Ive been saying to people, no one can stop this virus from spreading, it started in northern hemisphere in winter and now summer is coming, the southern hemisphere will get their winter and lets see what happens, hopefully nothing bad happens, and then after 7 or 8 months winter for the north and so on.
I think that every single person will get it on this planet, unless of course they come up with a vaccine.
This virus will be an all seasons Chrojan Flu which be more effective in a particular temp range e.g. 9-15c (or other similar). It will step in and out of hibernation within the host if it does in fact randomly auto hibernate which is why the symptom range is no to symptoms to death. So where it hibernates quick there are no or little symptoms when first infected. What happens with re-infection who knows. just an idea I had!

just my opinion - but you will NEVER erradicate the N19COVID virus - it will remain in reservoirs " somewhere "
but both AUS & NZ will have developed a partial heard imunity - and even if no vaccine comes down the pipe
future outbreaks - will have a verry flat curve - for both counties - with each subsequent one - having lower impact
italy got stuffed - because they had a massive spread in a short time - and liimited area
YMMV
Social distancing is holding new COVID-19 infection levels low enough to eliminate the virus from mainland Australia, new federal government modelling shows.
While the expert team behind the modelling has not estimated a date by which the virus could be defeated, they project it could be months away, rather than weeks.
Yet loosening social distancing restrictions will inevitably lead to it returning and cases rising, researchers say, which means we would need to maintain such measures to keep the virus at bay, rather than return to life as normal.
The model suggests that every 10 people infected currently spread the virus to five more people, on average. At that level, the virus would eventually be unable to circulate and would die out within Australia.

Now I agree that this may be a long shot, but models are showing that it is possible. It still does not address the fact that if successful, then what? Quarantine and mandatory testing at border entry for international arrivals for 1 year, 2, 10 years? An interesting prospect.
