      If numbers go up significantly today, I will absolutely concede that NSW Health have to do something drastic to change course. If the numbers go down (or plateau) today, how many of you will concede that NSW Health is evidently handling this well?

      Being a scientist I am going to say that two days data is insufficient to determine either way.

      Yet one day of 30 was enough to justify panic?

      Covid 19 requires a hard and fast response.

      I didn’t say policy decisions. I said panic.

      What panic are you referring to? I'm discussing the success or otherwise of decisions made in the health response to contain the virus.

      People insisting NSW is not doing enough.

      That's not panic. It's a reasonable position that a large number of experts have supported.

      It’s not based on evidence, though.

      Or at least it is based on a similar dearth of evidence as the idea that two days of low numbers would be enough to conclude that the outbreak has been contained
