I would be surprised if more than 60,000 people in Australia catch the virus. And that would be when we have a lapse in security measures and people interact more closely.

Iran are experiencing a covid19 death every 10 minutes. That is 6 an hour, 140+ a day. That would not make a dent in their population. We are not hearing a great deal about African cases. They would probably mix up those deaths with the usual cases of malnourished-related diseases.

But I've seen how people are acting, today.  Far more people than that will get the virus, and because of that we'll go into lockdown because people aren't taking it seriously.

I've already had to close down a business and let go all the staff.  All that money in that investment is gone, we won't get that back, our staff are now facing this uncertain time without employment.  We pulled the plug now so we were in a position to pay everything that was owed to our staff and for them to get their applications in for Government assistance now.

But I'm still got a day job, for now.

My wife has her own business and this is very vulnerable to social distancing and worse, lockdowns.

Yet the beaches are still full.

People are still saying "I won't let the virus ruin my life" and still meeting and drinking with friends.

What the bugger!?

Are they going to compensate us who lose our businesses or even our houses?

No, the tax we've paid over the years will go to subsidise THEM.

It's bullshit.

The Government are being too slow to react and they aren't acting strong enough.  They're not getting out in front of this, they're letting circumstances dictate their actions and even then reacting with a head in the sand approach.

I certainly have a lot of sympathy for your business closure. I cannot really empathise, though. My restaurant (that I don't own, but where I work) is undergoing a lull in business. Particularly tonight being that we did not see 75% of the sales we normally get. It is still reasonable. But, we do see the downturn. The pubs have not shut in the last few weeks. I do not see them closing down anytime soon.

I have the feeling that Australia could see a peak of 10,000 confirmed covid19 cases. Perhaps not much more than 60,000 unconfirmed cases. Many of those cases being thought of as mild influenza.

I figure this "pandemic" (aka "senseless hysteria" virus) will be over and done with by the end of May. The Olympics will go ahead in Tokyo with only a passing reference to the prior concern for the virus.

Real CCP virus infection cases are 20 times higher than officially reported, leaked documents reveal.
