Any evidence to back up the medical resources?
The large cities have enough resources to cover small numbers (outbreaks) in the community, should we start getting +1000 new cases a day - we simply do not have enough ICU beds, Vic has had 5 or so ICU beds this past few days.
Pick a rural town of 5,000 people and introduce the virus, then follow the Gray Nomad (with or without symptoms) interaction and location for a 2 week period over many towns and public locations.
RFDS will need extra funding to transport the country folk to the ICU beds with ventilators.
