My kids school has 45% non attendance rate today.
I knew it would be high but that’s massive.
May be time to shut school then.

With school holidays so close, I don't understand why the government don't just bite the bullet and close them now. Even if they have to shorten the other school holiday periods later.

We're at approx 650 absent from a school of 1450 today.

As someone who works in health I think the governments of all persuasions across Australia are doing a good job treading the fine line between flattening the curve and allowing people to go about our normal every day lives.
it's the d!ckheads out there making it problematic not the governments
The reality is this will effect les than who we think will get the virus and for the vast majority the effects will be mild to moderate.
The problem we have as a nation is that even with 1% Morbidity of a 20% population infection rate we don't have enough health resources to go around.
Bottom line: follow official advice, practice social distancing and good hand hygiene

F*cking hell.
I know our trajectory is similar, but I'm wondering how population density is taken into account with these predictions.

I am home in self-isolation because I had to be tested for Covid-19 yesterday. However, checking on SEQTA, we averaged one student per class at Year 11 and 12 level (5%) but about 35% at lower levels.

If you work in health, I am very scared because you sure can't read graphs. Look up above to the one Booney posted, the same one I did that you criticised me for, saying it was fake. You read the graph the following way: the x-axis is the number of days since each country had their 100th case; the y-axis is the total number of cases.
Now, can you see that Australia has over 1500 cases after 12 days whilst Singapore is less than 500 after 22 days?? Can you also see by the slope that Australia is following a very similar trajectory to that of European countries and the US?? These are very worrying signs for Australia. The only reason our infection and death rates WERE lower is that Covid-19 hit our shores later. Sadly, we will go wayyyyyyyyyyy past the Singapore rates.
To follow Singapore, we need to do what they do: not let anyone onto public transport, into offices or shops if they have a temperature. We are not even checking temperatures. Re schools, they take the temperature of every student twice a day. For anyone, if you have a temperature, you are sent home and told to self-isolate. You cannot go into the shop, public transport, school or office until your temperature has fallen to normal.
