Today @ScottMorrisonMP announced a raft of changes to how we go about our lives in an attempt to stop the spread of #coronavirus. @normanswan answers some of your questions about what is going on. #abc730 #COVID19 #auspol
“If you let the pandemic go unchecked, huge numbers won’t be able to receive treatment and will die, but the epidemic will be over sooner.” - @normanswan. #abc730 #coronavirusaus #COVID2019AU
“You need multiple strategies to throttle the epidemic down to low levels. And that includes keeping the over 70s isolated and closing schools and universities.” - @normanswan. #abc730 #coronavirusaus #COVID2019AU
“The really chilling finding of this #coronavirus modelling is that you don’t know when it’s safe to take your foot off the brake. And it could be for 18 months till we get a vaccine.” - @normanswan. #abc730 #coronavirusaus #COVID2019AU
Will a lockdown just delay people getting the #coronavirus? “The uncomfortable answer is that the flattened curve strategy might still result in a lot of deaths, it’s just that more of us will be able to access hospital care. What will save us is a vaccine.” - @normanswan #abc730
