Remember the 'R number' from earlier in the pandemic"? An R less than 1 means a pandemic is under control. This is Sydney's R number for the past 5 days. I think many whose idea of thinking through the pandemic has been to back one team or another (Victoria vs Gladys, for example, like it's a State of Origin game), or to take one tool from the public health toolkit like contact tracing or vaccines, and think they will magically end the pandemic, are about to suffer for their laziness.
