And even lower when you consider there's more than 4000 Queensland residents (and another 9000 prospective residents) who have been stuck just outside that state for weeks, in some cases months, trying just to get home which in some cases is no more than hour's drive away.
"No problem" says the Health Minister; "you'll be able to drive home in another 9 weeks and wont even have to quarantine."
