How does the rise in cases stop before then? Isn't herd immunity at the end of all of these curves, no matter how flat they are? Australia isn't a closed system and we can't keep a 14 day quarantine on all visits forever. It's going to keep coming back isn't it?

People talk about this like it's going to last months but I can't see how it's less than a year or two of at least intermittent quarantine measures. Am I wrong?

Quarantine will probably only last a few months. At a certain point, isolation and quarantine become less important once the containment phase is well and truly over

But all still have a large non- immune population and the disease will still be out there. Won't it start up again exactly the same?

Potentially. I suspect there'll be a phased step-up once initial containment is finished
