Here in Australia, it looks like Victoria is out of control. The previous national daily peak was 458 on March 28th, we trended downwards almost daily after that. In the past 8 days, Victoria alone has topped that record 3 times, including a terrifying 723 cases and 13 deaths yesterday. There were 0 new cases on June 9th, with mostly single digit cases since mid-May. Cases started to exponentially increase from then on, lately recording oscillating numbers. Victoria has been in stage 3 lockdowns for 3 weeks and might not have even peaked yet.
This thing doesn’t go away unless you lockdown hard, and even then it can come back rapidly for any number of reasons. And if you’re going to reopen a community, you keep the borders shut tight. It boggles my mind how people in the UK (whom the state of Victoria is now comparable to in today’s daily cases) are now going on overseas holidays and then returning with no quarantine at either end. Hope your fucking tshirt suntan is worth another lockdown, assholes.
