A very high proporrion of Australia's 298 cases are directly related to OS travel either the individual traveller and or someone they know( fact is 60 from NSW and 20 from SA) so extrapolating out Australia wide it is clear that a great proportion of infection is amongst people returning from overseas

The data doesn't lie but that won't prevent a massive beat up

There is certainly justification to be ahead of the curve but right now we would only have 100-150 cases at the very most of community transmission

Australian population density = 5 / km2

Australian metropolitan cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide have population density up around 400 - 500 / km2 but keep in mind that the population density of the entire country of South Korea is over 500 / km2 and a city like Seoul would be in the 1000s / km2

South Korea, with such high density, has decreasing infection rate and death rate already !

Kudos to them
