I am getting so many press releases about different studies and projections about how many people coronavirus will infect/kill etc in Aus. Is it irresponsible to report these? Such varying projections. What’s right? @peripatetical @TaniaSorrell @MarylouiseMcla1 @CollignonPeter

Many scenarios are possible. I'd suggest asking each of them why their predictions vary from the others, and what might or might not be generalisable to Australia.

The key is, in the rush to report on coronavirus, not to let fact-checking and scrutiny slide. What do you make of coverage generally so far? Excessive or reasonable given the spread?

It's hard to keep above the torrent of news. I think the Guardian and most others have been great. The only thing missing for me has been the (rare) good news stories, particularly Hong Kong and Singapore that are good examples of what might be possible.

Also South Korea! New infection rate has gone from 25% increase per day to ~5% over the course of a fortnight
