From what I understand of it, while animal to human infection is rare, it's not a really complex thing. The virus attaches itself to an ACE2 receptor, which means any animal with high concentrations of ACE2 receptors will be prone. But in not sure about how the receptors vary between humans and other animals

Based on 2017 stats, around 600-700 per year. Although I believe it was much lower last year.

Lucky you mate. Yeah I'm looking forward to it this year. Got all my spearing gear sorted last year and had a few runs around Sydney but sometimes it's better heading up north for it
Cray is on my list this year for sure.

Just watched a current affair interview with a guy who was on the Ruby Princess whose wife passed away from it.
I feel for him for his loss but ........
The cruise began on 8 MARCH 2020 when it was plastered all over the news about issues on cruise ships etc. They were delayed getting on because there were a few sick people already on board and NSW health was investigating. The ship was eventually released that night and okayed to travel.
No way in this wide world would I have gotten on the ship knowing what was happening elsewhere and knowing people were sick. I would have heeded the previous warnings from health saying not to travel which were repeated day in day out in the news. He kept saying we should not have been allowed to board the ship, well ,my answer is you didn't have to board the ship, you have free will, you have doubts and maybe you shouldn't have. The ship was full of older people who we all know are in the unfortunate group which is most vulnerable. He said they were told upon docking that several people were sick and that upon disembarkation on the 19 March everyone should go straight home and isolate. They were well when they left the ship, next day both fell ill and were subsequently taken to Orange hospital where they were diagnosed. His wife remained in hospital where she passed away,he was lucky and eventually went home.
A terrible thing to happen and as we all know many have now fallen ill and several have died. Could it have been stopped, this is the question the law is now contemplating.

On one hand I Agree that he should take responsibility and not say 'I shouldn't have been allowed on'.
On the other hand, 8th of March wasn't panic stations yet. March 12 and 13th were the days I genuinely felt everything worsen as it became apparent how widespread this was.
I remember 8th of March vividly because it was a significant day for me and it was life as normal. I recall getting diarrhoea on the 9th and was a little annoyed I was force to use three public bathrooms, but I still did it. Something I wouldn't have done on the 14th.

We're now at 46. Over 2.5 times what we had last week.
Unfortunately this is generally what we're going to see with the lag effect of the disease. Random spikes in deaths like this. We're still very fortunate that we haven't been hard hit by it.

Australia doing pretty well all things considered.
jusy annoys me when I see all the feminists on twitter jumping for joy with the #boomerremover stuff because they think it'll kill off their resistance quick, but then they complain elsewhere they can't do stuff.
Just terribad people.

Scott Morrison has warned Australians that failing to observe proper social distancing over the Easter long weekend would “undo everything” the country’s coronavirus response has achieved so far.

Triple the fines. Make it worth the poor polices time having to deal with these idiots.
