Just a question.
Wave one was a low peak in Australia and Victoria.
Wave two was (may still grow) bigger than wave one.
When both waves began to grow lock downs were introduced to reduce the peak, and the wave subsided.
How exactly did lock-downs
not work from a medical point of view?
Given Victoria is just going into stage 4 and 3 rural, can you explain your December peak prediction? - seems a tat early.
P.S. Mid March was not first peak - we only shut the borders on 20 March. End of March (after lock-down coincidentally) is the peak.
If you check the daily reported cases on the link - there may or may not be a peak as of 2 August. Certainly no real sign of a reduction, but it will soon show a reduction - due to lock-downs.
