Came across this article on professional modeling of how long isolation needs to last for in australia. https://www.dailyexaminer.com.au/news/shock-modelling-how-long-iso-will-last/3989335/

Some quotes from the article.

** Australians can expect to be cooped up in isolation until summer, based on yet-to-be-released modelling that reveals the number of hospitalised coronavirus cases won't peak until the end of October.

** The modelling shows social distancing measures are effective at flattening the curve and many fewer people will get infected, but also suggests Australia will be fighting the virus for a longer period than many expected.

** But he told news.com.au the country would need to remain locked down, to some degree, well past Christmas despite the growth rate of new infections halving in recent weeks."You know what the bad news is? We're going to have to do a lot of this social distancing for another 18 months to two years," he said.

** "But until we get a vaccine that is safe and works or until we find the evidence is wrong or unless something radical changes with the data, there's no way, in my view, we're going to get rid of all the virus from Australia."
