Sure I get that unprecedented isolation measures put the virus back in its box.
But relax the measures and it has to break out. If it doesn’t (and it isn’t so far), then very odd indeed.
I can assure you that 8,000 for NSW is nowhere near what is being planned by at least one major hospital where I have a close relative working in ICU. They had a meeting about a week ago and were told the modelling is saying to prepare for at least 135,000 Australia wide. That would equate to about 40,000 for NSW.
