Victoria extending the lockdown with around 90 cases announced today. Scary stuff in NSW and looks like its going be lockdown for both states for a long while yet.
About 10 days ago when NSW was averaging about 750 new cases a day, an epidemiologist in Sydney said he expected 1200 cases a day by the end of August and 4000 cases a day by the end of September.
His first forecast is correct. If the figures trend towards his second forecast the NSW hospital system will be completely overrun before new shipments of vaccine arrive in October.
