Here's context for my pandemic views. Look at these numbers, State-by-State. Everywhere except NSW and Vic may have already eliminated Covid-19. NSW and Vic may be damned close. You can see why the other States aren't in a hurry to open their borders - they'd be insane to do it. NSW and Victoria just need a few more weeks to consolidate these brilliant low numbers. But instead NSW in particular is throwing everything open. Just have to hope that doesn't end up being the most stupid decision in the history of Australia; all that will save it is if NSW has already effectively eliminated too.
