If accurate, Australia should exhibit a similar development of deaths vs. confirmed infected as Germany. --- End quote --- Doubt it. Germany has several times the population, so even if the tests/million is higher, the number of people available to be infected is smaller. Especially if you factor in the much higher population density in Germany. Australia is BIG. --- End quote --- 99% of Australia is barren wasteland with close to zero population. Population density is not that much different in areas where people actually live. |

So I'm going to have to disagree with you there: https://chartingtransport.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/au-eu-ca-nz-population-weighted-density.png One can drive from anywhere to anywhere in Germany in 8 hours or less, not to mention the 7 or 8 Schengen countries that have land borders. Australia only has sea or air borders, and driving times are often measured in days, not hours. Natural isolation, in other words. |

In the State of Victoria we have just had a ban placed on the purchase of firearms and ammunition due to a dramatic increase in the number of people buying ammunition and applying for a Permit to Purchase, damn lucky I am already geared up. ;) And a note: This is just a heads up and not an invitation to start a conversation on firearms, discussions about firearms are not welcome on this forum. Sorry I couldn't provide a better reference than the one linked below. https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/coronavirus/coronavirus-pandemic-prompts-victoria-to-ban-sales-of-guns-and ammunition/ar-BB11VGOz |
