SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia’s second most-populous state on Saturday reported one of its highest daily increases in new coronavirus infections and warned the numbers would get worse before they got better as it began its first weekend under a six-week lockdown.

Victoria state recorded 216 new cases of the virus that causes COVID-19 in the 24 hours to Saturday morning, down from a record 288 cases the previous day but still one of the biggest daily increases of any part of the country since the pandemic arrived. “It will get worse before it gets better,” Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews told a televised news conference.“Nobody is enjoying being locked at home. It is frustrating, it is challenging, but the strategy will be successful if we all play our part.”

Australia has avoided the high COVID-19 casualty numbers of other countries after closing its borders and going into nationwide lockdown in March. The country has recorded about 9,200 infections and 107 deaths, including the death of a man in his 90s in Victoria overnight, Andrews said.

U.S. Coronavirus Cases Hit Another Daily RecordNew coronavirus cases in the U.S. rose by more than 63,000, another single-day record, as hospitals in Texas, California and other states strain to accommodate a surge of new patients. All of this could have been avoided deaths going back to 800-900 a day..delayed response to increasing number of cases...if only the PressSec and the POTUS understood cause and effect math. TrumpDeathToll135K So pick who u want to believe, Dr. Fauci or realDonaldTrump? Looks like Fauci’s worst case estimate of 100,000 infections per day seems a bit more realistic than Trump’s “It’s going to just go away”. For the 33% that think Trump is doing a good job with the virus, really guys?
