That compares with a world average of 3.85 cases per 1000 people and about 20 cases per 1000 people in the United States.
The US is recording anywhere between 20,000 and 40,000 new cases of COVID-19 a day and often more than 1000 deaths. In some cities, such as New York, schools are yet to reopen after they were closed in March. That’s six months of home-schooling. And counting.In France, there have been up to 23,000 new cases a day in the past week.
Demand for tests is also challenging Britain. It is recording about 4000 new cases a day and authorities are worried, especially as winter approaches.the number of people who can gather inside or outside your home has been reduced to six for the whole country and hospitality venues in the north have now been ordered to offer table service only.
It is staggering to read this as an Australian. The thought of having to pay for a COVID-19 test – or having to book for one – is mind-boggling. The residents of north-east England still have more freedoms than Melburnians, who are entering their 12th week of stage-four lockdown. Lockdowns have proved effective at halting the spread of COVID-19 in Australia. But they have come at a huge economic and social cost. In Britain, like the US,
Or not
Like mismanaging the hotel quarantine and abandoning its citizens stuck overseas?
Step 1: don't take your citizens into their country
Never heard of hubris obviously - many of us who live here were not born in Australia and find this type of gloating profoundly offensive.
If you call lockdown managing well.....then I think other countries have done much better
The world will not care as long as NZ exists. They did it better and they did it first.
By manipulating case numbers and testing, as in NSW.
Victoria’s HCWs would disagree.
Correction DanielAndrewsMP is showing the world.
Managed it well with interstate dictatorships, curfews, ankle bracelets, not letting people come home or non citizens leave. Crushing personal freedoms and a nation of snitches with a pro covid media. Just great.
Not us
Really? Managed the first part well, making a mess of it now
Eee I think I missed something or did I live in a different world with Ruby cruise and hotel quarantine?
China showed the world how to manage it. If only we had listened, emulated, acted, coordinated and locked down internationally earlier. What a different world we would be living in today. Ask our neighbours.
Can we export Dan?
The same people that let a boat full of covid disembark for the 1st wave then allowed a 2nd wave by paying bottom dollar for some security guards off of whatsapp.
The world will need a lot of help from somewhere if it follows Australia. It has almost become a broken country.
Victoria has 650,000 public servants. 9.7% of their population But had to go to NSW to find out how to manage a procedure of Test-Trace -Quarantine
Why must we continually compare ourselves to others , it is irrelevant. We vary in.. Tax to fund services Resources Population Number of medical people per population Government responsibilities People’s collective attitude Country size Too many variables to compare .
Maybe we would have managed well, but for Dan Andrews’ government mishandling of the hotel quarantine, leading to deaths & loss of livelihoods. Longest & strictest lockdown in the world with police powers straight from communism.The world watches with horror.
Oh, I guess, I missed it 🙃 I don't know, if someone will take you serious again in Europe after the huge bush fires and now the 'Qantas climate killer flight offer' over Aus 🌚 So, sorry for spoiling, but no one is talking about Aus here in Europe, except of Amnesty UK.
I live in the US and I’ve not noticed envy for Australia’s management of it 🤔🤔 it’s never even specifically had a mention
Which part of Australia? Victoria?
Yea stop people coming here. It’s easy
Fucking bullshit, we have squandered hundreds of billions on a fake maths model and idiotic fools like the CHO's who believed it
Well DanielAndrewsMP and VictorianCHO and JennyMikakos are not showing the world anything except incompetence.

COVID-19 strategy is 'working': Daniel Andrews | Sky News AustraliaVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews says his government’s strategy is “working” as the state recorded its lowest daily caseload in close to three months.\n\nThe state announced 21 new cases and seven deaths on Saturday.\n\n“Those numbers tell a powerful story of what can be achieved when you stay the course,” Mr Andrews said.\n\n“When you don’t get sidetracked by some of the loudest voices, who I understand are hurting and want to open up, we would all like to open up as quickly as possible, but we won’t be open for very long if we don’t first get these numbers down to a low level.\n\n“And I think I would say to everyone watching and listening right now logic, common sense, international experience, our own experience shows us that you can’t hope to keep numbers low until you first get them low.\n\n“That is just an undeniable fact. \n\n“And if we were to open up far too early some would be pleased, but they would be pleased for a short period of time, because we would simply be closed again not long thereafter.”\n\nThere are currently 834 active cases across the state, with 806 of those in metropolitan Melbourne. Sure Dan. Would only need to go back into lockdown if the incompetent health department didn’t do their job (again) It's working to destroy Victoria, that's for sure. How much has DictatorDan's lust for power cost us?

Coronavirus Australia: Melbourne COVID-19 cluster could derail roadmapA growing coronavirus cluster in the city‘s south-east is threatening to derail Melbourne’s strict roadmap out of COVID-19 lockdown. Silly people not following the rules Putting as all in danger Andrews is jumping for joy at the news interesting thought. a cluster can derail progress. sounds like the plan is quite fragile and without contingencies. I am sure the government is smarter than that in their plan, and just wait for things to happen and then say sh!t.

COVID-19 and war cripple Yemen | Sky News AustraliaAfter suffering six years of war and one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, many people in Yemen believe the coronavirus is being used as a weapon by their enemies.\n\nYemen is already vulnerable to the pandemic seeing as the country has been devastated by six years of civil war and the population has been weakened, giving the people of Yemen a uniquely dangerous exposure to the deadly coronavirus.\n\nWith its medical facilities shattered, nearly a quarter of the country’s districts do not have a single doctor.\n\nMany Yemenis say the coronavirus does not exist and believe it is a viral attack on them inflicted by the West.\n ...well..duh.. it IS a Chinese-created biological weapon after all.. SARS2 isn't as good as the original SARS.. but that's OK

Australians must wait beyond October for decision on COVID-19 supplement paymentMore than 1.6 million Australians will have to wait until after the October budget to learn if the government will extend its coronavirus supplement payment.

England mulls new national lockdown as European COVID-19 cases soarEuropean nations from Denmark and Iceland in the north to Greece in the south have announced new restrictions to curb surging coronavirus infections in some of their largest cities, and England was considering a new national lockdown. The NHS there is using a ridiculous Ct of 45! Dublin just increased restrictions in the last hour. Will last 3 weeks. Not a full lockdown again but pretty much back to one visitor and most indoor activity stopped.

Airlines to collect 'mandatory manifest information' to assist COVID-19 contact tracingWhile many Australians provide their phone number and email address when booking domestic flights, not everybody does, but now the Government wants airlines to ensure contact tracers are able to access the information they need. Really? They make it sound like some great revelation - considering the early days of covid was traveler transmissions you think the geniuses could have thought about this in March. From memory did the release of plane manifests get blocked, or am I thinking of the Ruby Princess. Slow response to call this now for 01 Oct enforcement. duh , what a revelation really quick off the mark I travelled internationally to australia in april , and while in quarantine , could not even find out if anybody tested positive on the flight. I wasn't even tested while in quarantine.
