This is the mob our PM wants us to copy, even down to an almost identical tracking app:
*Early on in the coronavirus pandemic, Singapore was praised as a shining example of how to handle the new virus. The World Health Organization pointed out that Singapore's aggressive contact tracing allowed the city-state to quickly identify and isolate any new cases. It quickly shut down clusters of cases and kept most of its economy — and its schools — open. Through the beginning of April, Singapore had recorded fewer than 600 cases.
By the end of April, however, the case count exceeded 17,000. And not only is all of Singapore now under a strict lockdown, but it has the most coronavirus cases in Southeast Asia.*

I am very worried we are about to open things back up too early.
We're fortunate that most of Australia isn't densely populated like Singapore or NYC.
But, I share your concerns. I'm less than enthusiastic about going back to work in Sydney's CBD and spending over 90 minutes a day on a packed in like a sardine on a train.
I would like to see us keep the same restrictions for another month, just looked at the meat works in Victoria, over 60 cases from one outbreak.
