Not sure we are. Reckon it will accelerate for maybe 5-7 days and then start to "flatten", if we've done it right.
There's no excuse to get infected through recklessness from here. Everyone's had more than sufficient warning.
Hope you're right but I don't see people taking this seriously. Few people have told me I'm over reacting by staying home.
Time will tell.
BTW did you see that trump presser today where Dr. Fauci completely quashed the chloroquine theory immediately after trump was trumpeting it?
No, I've pretty much stopped following US news for the time being. It's going to be depressing.
What's with the whitehouse pressers with all the people crammed together going against the social distancing message?
And they didn't haven't anything to do with the US elections either.

Didn't the Taswegians announce they're quarantining all incoming for two weeks a few days ago? Territorians announced they're also doing the quaranti

In the second world war, the Japanese were marching towards Australia, and all our fighting men were in Europe under the command of Winston Churchill.
John Curtin rang up Churchill and said 'im bringing all our troops home'
Churchill went apeshit. Curtin balls were like coconuts. No-one had ever told mother England to get *smile*.
for the next 10 days, Curtin didnt sleep a wink at every young fighting Australian man weaved through a minefield of jan and German torpedo subs. He just sat up all night listening to the radio. He knew he had made a big call that could go either way.
troops got back, Australia got defended, apron strings cut through a way with mother England.
Curtin's ticker never really recovered from the stress and he died young.
His civic duty cost him his life, and quite possibly saved Australia.
thats leadership IMO. tough, risky decisions, decisively made, at huge personal cost
just sayin'
