How many cases? "
When this was written 5 days ago, there were 10,000 tests and only 35 cases..
https://www1.racgp.org.au/newsgp/clinical/should-australia-be-testing-more-broadly-for-the-cToday there are currently 77, that's a doubling time of less than 5 days. Do the math on that!! We could be in Italy's situation by early April!!
We are allowing mass crowd events to continue in this country, despite what is happening all over the world. We are currently promoting an acceleration of infection by these mass crowd events.
Most don't understand the exponential function, look at the rapid increase in both Italy and South Korea over a week or so. The same type of acceleration of cases is just starting in the US. Watch the numbers grow rapidly in the next week in the US. The serious and critical cases filling hospitals come after another week or 2.
Politicians are playing catch up, based on information that is days old after passing through the filter of various health groups meetings.
I'm not short of toilet paper, and I've been short the market for a couple of weeks. Everything is accelerating downwards, geometrically, economies and markets included, most don't even realise what's going on.
