Do we have the facilities/test kits to do it. Some stuff has to be in short supply.
The scale of this internationally is mind boggling.

China has just sent us a crapload of their testing kits. Go China!
We'll be down to zero cases very soon

The English cricketers are taking pay cuts amid the Pandemic-

https://www.cricket.com.au/news/england ... 2020-04-04

And Tim Paine said last week the Aussie cricketers are prepared for pay cuts.

Yet EPL players have rejected a pay cut-

I don't know alot about this, only what I've read and seen on the news but this comes across as very greedy to me? Surely if these guys earning millions and millions of pounds taking a 30 per cent pay cut won't effect them too much?

All EPL clubs are privately owned and players have individual contracts with the club so I guess it’s it’s up to the individual clubs to decide if players need to take a pay cut or not. There will be some players that give themselves a cut I’d imagine

Of 800 tests conducted 2 returned positive in SA yesterday taking us to 409 cases.

Great signs but we can’t become too complacent, still going to be many more months of restrictions IMO but shows we are in a far better state than most other countries

Absolutely. The longer we keep doing what we're doing the better.

[Booney]

The US now has 330,000 cases (tomorrow this number will exceed Italy, Germany and Spain combined ), 22,000 new cases today, over 9,400 deaths, over 1000 news deaths today.

If SA continues to do well compared to others, is there a chance/risk that we may be depended upon either providing assistance elsewhere, or having patients transferred to Adelaide to utilise our facilities if they're (other states) are reaching capacity?

They key to winding back some restrictions is to adopt the fast and extensive testing strategy of South Korea.

A better example testing wise is Germany.

Their peers cases wise (Italy, Spain UK France) are about 10% deaths, they're about 1.5%

[DOC]

I think you may be right Bedge.

If not then perhaps send equipment and staff over.

I'd prefer the latter.

If you base it on cases that have had an outcome (recovered or death) the death rate is much higher. Currently Italy at 42% and Germany 5%

You would expect these to decline over time.

Those Chinese testing kits are working
