New data reveals the devastating march of COVID-19 across NSW, showing the date and postcode of every case recorded for the first time.
Dean of Health Sciences at Swinburne University Bruce Thompson said a similar pattern of spread had occurred in Victoria, with wealthy suburbs including Toorak and the Mornington Peninsula containing some of the state's biggest clusters."It's an interesting pattern that's unravelling, we don't have a lot of data on why that's occurring yet, so whether it could be perceived as complacency or arrogance, we'll find out," Professor Thompson said.
Virologist Professor Peter White from UNSW said policing lockdowns in the areas with the biggest outbreaks was a possible strategy for containing the spread."You can do lockdowns on different levels so if you think of every state as a different country we've got internal state lockdowns as well and you could lock down individual cities if there's a bad outbreak," he said.

'An outbreak in backpackers': NSW to search for undetected COVID-19 cases in Sydney's eastNSW will more aggressively search for undetected cases of COVID-19 in Sydney's eastern suburbs amid fears backpackers in Bondi could be spreading the virus into the community Strict quarantine of hot spots and individuals is the only way to stop spreading of virus. For centuries humanity was saved from pandemics with strict quarantine of hot spots until vaccine developed, tested and distributed. The backpackers found to have attended the parties and visited the beach, ignoring the rules at the time, should be quarantined, forced to foot the hotel bill and sent back to their respective countries. I’m not sure that 2020 is the time for backpacking. Go home to family when they need you most and stay safe. World is a different place right now. GladysB We need to look after each other.

'Incredibly encouraging' result as WA records just nine new cases of COVID-19There have been just nine new coronavirus cases recorded in Western Australia over the past 24 hours. Yes but it’s easy to keep numbers down when you don’t broaden the testing regime... which apparently isn’t happening until Thursday! So another fortnight before we will actually have an idea of what the transmission within the community is doing.. If we don’t do any tests tomorrow we will have beaten the virus! Where's this information coming from? In the 24 hours to 5pm yesterday 30/3 44 cases were reported. Since we haven't reached 5pm yet today 31/3, isn't this a bit premature? ABC you do a great job but it looks like you made a mistake here.

South Australia records 32 new COVID-19 cases as baggage handlers test positiveSA Health says it is investigating a cluster of coronavirus cases among Qantas baggage handlers at the Adelaide Airport, as the state records 32 new cases. Yet again our invisible premier is n9where to be seen. Never is when there is bad news. He is putting lives at risk by not enforcing 2 person gatherings as are all the other states and territories. Shame on him. hughriminton That is seriously bad news... Contact traceability just flew out the window ... unless of course there had been great control measures in place between flights, etc Is it time for Hope and Prayer? hughriminton I can’t imagine any of them are travellers returning from oversaes which means the virus is on the luggage.

'New York never stood a chance' against COVID-19 | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributer Michael Ware says “there is a magnitude of difference” between the impact of COVID-19 on New York and that on “every other state”.\n\nAlmost half of the United State’s 163,000 confirmed coronavirus cases are in New York, with the city also accounting for almost half of the nation's recorded fatalities. \n\nMr Ware told Sky News “obviously it is the capital of the world, people are coming and going and people live in close confines to each other”.\n\nGovernor Andrew Cuomo referred to the virus as the “great equalizer” as any citizen from any section of the city was at risk of contracting the virus. \n\n“When you listen to [Cuomo] it sounds like New York never stood a chance,” the former war correspondent said. \n\n“They are desperately trying to make sure the hospital system is not overwhelmed.\n\n“We are now talking about this isolation continuing for weeks if not months.”\n\nImage: AP New virus announced 31 December 2019, nothing done until March 2020. I dunno, maybe the difference is the 60 days of nothing? Im not the expert here, but I can tell you one thing - What about all the homeless on the streets and the urine and faeces everywhere would that contribute? CNN
