      For context for international followers, the state managed to get down to zero locally acquired cases while RELAXING restrictions through a test/trace approach and some health promotion Quite remarkable

      They've done well, but lots particularly here in Vic Andres supporters don't believe the numbers - but its hard to cover, if numbers were increasing as they were here, you'd be seeing hospital, ICU, ventilator, death numbers/funerals going up considering how long its been

      As a professional epidemiologist I find it vanishingly unlikely that there is a hidden epidemic in NSW right now. It is not entirely out of the bounds of possibility, but the most likely explanation for reported cases being low is that there are few cases

          Yep, agree,there will probably be a trail of cases for a while yet; and here in Vic,I think our hard lock down was needed to get numbers under control,but I think NSW have shown an efficient health system,can manage small numbers.I think out intl borders still closed if a key

          I think it can easy get out of control if you don't keep on top of it as it happened here. But NSW so far have done a pretty good job, when for months there were fears you were on the bring, ever since the border crossings from VIc.
