I am afraid it may only be the tip of the iceberg.My brother has a severe respiratory problem so I fear for him. He knows the drill though.Just checked with my step mum tonight and she is doing okay.
All you need to look at is the examples of Italy, Iran, and China.
If immediate action isn't taken, like happened in South Korea, then the consequences are dire. From what I read once it reaches a certain level, I think it's around the 20 day mark?, then the rate the infected cases multiples is too large for the health system to keep up with. In Lombardy, Italy the hospitals are about the collapse as they simply don't have anymore beds or resources to deal with the spike in numbers.
My concern with Australia is that people haven't really been taking it all that seriously. Yes, people have bought lots of shit like an apocalypse is coming but are they ensuring that they're staying clean, not coming into contact with people etc.? I'm not there, so maybe you guys can answer that?
In Slovenia atm people aren't taking it seriously enough and I can only see things getting worse. Much worse. Hopefully the same doesn't happen.
What is clear though is that this is only the beginning. We may be able to slow the infection rate by quaratine, but what will happen when we stop that? Imagine the same thing again?!?!?!
