You would be helping Australia if you did.

'........ We have averted a catastrophe. You only have to look at New York, London and Spain.
To claim we didn't need to implement these measures is at best naive and at worst malicious.
I think in Australia we really don't appreciate what we have been spared. ..............

........ We're not special. We are no different New York or Italy or London, we may be a little less crowded.
We are all humans and this virus is what it is. ...... '

Jodie McVernon, Director of Epidemiology at the Doherty Institute in Melbourne.

I am not having a dig at anyone here who have differing views.
This is the medical view on it.

Yikes - this thing is a killer

In Aust it has 994 current cases.
There are 79 in hospital, 28 of those are in ICU.

We dodged a missile. I do not want this coming back at us for round 2.

yeap, as far as I know Australia has never closed borders from state to state or internationally.
We have never been asked to 'stay at home.'
Both sides of the federal Govt and every state has never unanimously agreed on sweeping regulations.
This had happened in almost every country worldwide.

This is the real deal.

And the NSW-Victoria border and the Victoria-SA borders. Border closing isn't new, it is just rare.

Despite a swift quarantine response in October 1918, cases of Spanish flu began to appear in Australia in early 1919. About 40 per cent of the population fell ill and around 15,000 died as the virus spread through Australia.
