@mchughcb The curve is a lie, the only curve that matters is the one with only unexplained community cases, not the imported ones, but can you point me to a curve like that, where it is properly differentiated?

If you can smell a person's fart you can catch COVID-19 off them.

To be fair they said if we don't do X we could see Y, then they made us to X, that is why they can claim that they stopped Y from happening.

@mchughcb Anything sourced from the ABC is worthless, they have been blatantly dishonest about presenting the full data on other subjects so I would not trust them now either. The fact is you have not seen a valid "curve" either, just the combined one that hides the true danger completely.

@mchughcb The thing to remember is that you need to look at the "real" curve, local transmissions, and remember that it is not the number, the position on the curve, that is important but the shape of that curve, because if you follow the curve the much larger numbers are just a matter of time. The number of community transmissions is completely overshadowed by the earlier and larger numbers of people who came in from overseas already infected, those larger numbers are only relevant as an indication of how many asymptomatic spreaders may have come in at the same time before they were forced to quarantine. Another reason you need to know the real curve is that it tells you how many new asymptomatic spreaders there may be and the only way to limit their impact is to assume everyone is infected, hence the lockdown. See how all of the real data is hidden from the public, we can't see what the real situation is so we are not in a position to draw any objective conclusions at all from it, all we have is an ability to express our subjective desire for a return to freedom.

@mchughcb What sort of case, local of unknown origin or just imported? Or both, he is quoting the totals, this is the problem. They can control the imported cases to some degree by how many new people they "rescue" from OS each week. Recall the ideal graph of "real" transmissions, that is what we need to see and they never show it. Why?

@mchughcb Yep, they are playing us for fools.

When it comes to exit strategies have a look at the publication Science, 27 MARCH 2020 • VOL 367 ISSUE 6485 page 1415 https://science.sciencemag.org/content/367/6485/1414.2
