America has banned all flights from Europe. I believe we should be doing the same as well as flights from some Asian countries.

I wish people would stop talking like pandemic means death to all.

Pandemic just means that the spread of a disease is across territories/countries, not just localised communities. It does not define the mortality of a disease. H1N1 was a pandemic, and killed 200 odd people in Australia, and it affected up to a fifth of the worlds population.

Give it 4 weeks max ...the Govt's CMO's will be issuing ban on large crowd gatherings

My concerns are for the young and elderly and I have both ....My Mrs cares for our two young Godchildren twice a week .....

I'd rather be safe than sorry

So far Covid 19 has appeared to have minimal effects on the young, the elderly are a different question though with a death rate of around 15%

In treated cases .....what's going to happen if NSW has 1.5 million cases as they are talking about and we end up with say 6-7 million cases nationwide

You seem to think our health systems will cope ....I would bet against that

But its just not that .....not enough police ......armed forces can't cover everywhere even if martial law is declared

Our health system is going to placed under massive pressure, that is why slowing the spread, increasing the length of the peak and keeping our health care workers healthy is going to be crucial. At some point private hospitals may have to be used to fight this as well. For the majority of the population that gets infected treatment will be rest at home, others will be hospitalised but they real worry are our aged care facilities which for a large number of people will be little more than palliative care.

There have been very little reports of this having a large impact on children and even in my age group (I'm 41) the death rate is 0.4%.

I'm not downplaying this at all, but we are in a much better position than most countries to deal with this. The USA is not very well resourced for what is coming!

Increasing the length of the peak, is that a typo? Maybe I don't understand. Increasing the length of the time that the virus is at its peak? Wouldn't the opposite be what we want?

If you slow the spread and lengthen the peak you have less people infected at any one time allowing the health care system to better cope with the influx of cases! You deal with it for longer but less cases at once.

I think the original USA strategy, especially from Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon was to let it run its course quickly to get back to economic recovery quicker!

I think that's why the Govt are trying to slow the spread. To give existing systems time to cope.

Exactly, Italy is facing the problem they are because the spread of the virus has been quite rapid. Looks like USA may go the same way!

I added to my post .....I'm far more concerned about the have nots deciding to impose on the haves without having a fully functioning police force or even armed forces stepping in helping

How many people are mocking the toilet paper brigade ....probably haven't begun to stock up on canned foods etc themselves

I just don't see our Govt's being organized enough or prepared enough to keep water and electricity running let alone having enough food stocks for those who aren't in a position to help themselves

The other thing I'd like to say is if you have children, please talk to them about what is going on. The kids are all talking about it anyway and the information they are getting from each other is terrible. Educate yourslef about what us happening, don't just listen to sensationalised headlines and have honest conversations with your kids about it!

Oh and throw in a cyclone that could be sitting off the coast early next week ....

I think you will find as a country we will do a lot better than most, I don't think we are going to see a complete shutdown in Australia, I think we will be looking at infected people self isolating which is the current policy. One thing Australian's do well is get thru times of crisis, we dealt with the drought and the bushfires extremely well and we will deal with this. There will be deaths, more deaths than anyone would like but the majority of those will be in the elderly, this is not a death sentence for the majority of the population.

W may see things like an extended school holiday period and non essential medical procedures scrapped. This is all concerning but as a country we will come out the otherside!
