It's difficult for the lay person to decipher what the infection rate is. I've been looking at the Coronavirus Worldometer site. It showed Australia as 257 infections for Saturday and 513 infections for Sunday. At first glance that's a huge one day spike, but they "forgot" to do the Saturday morning update which skewed part of Saturday's figures into Sunday. So the average for the 2 days was 385 which is higher than most previous days. The other thing to take into account is that fewer people have been returning from overseas as time passes, so if that's the source of 60%+ of infections it would be expected that the rate of increase would slow. Whatever the case, I hope that when they decided that infection rates were slowing they got an actuary to decide that not a doctor, so the verdict takes all the mathematical factors into account.
