        True, but look at the precaution they are immediately taking to make sure it doesn't get out of hand. Exponentials: with a threat like this, early aggressive action is almost always cheaper/easier than anything you (end up having to) do later.https://twitter.com/Semisaurs/status/1375250303973478400 …

        The thing is, with community transmission and and unknown source, it isn't just one case.

        True enough. Also unlike UK, that sparkling landmass. (Still, the principle holds: early, aggressive action that targets the right things.)https://twitter.com/rabernat/status/1375250043469463555 …

        Isn’t Queensland great. We’ve been very fortunate with our State Govt’s response keeping us all safe.

        Being an island/continent is neither necessary nor sufficient, however. A scientifically-literate population, governments prepared to take tough measures, economic support during shutdowns & a national health system have all helped us here in Australia to avoid major outbreaks.

        There are also places that treat voter suppression as a threat to democracy.

        That single case is in Brisbane, 1000 miles from where I am in Melbourne. But I know my state will soon announce that people who’ve travelled from Brisbane recently will need to quarantine themselves, or some similar measure.

        We’ve been able to practically eliminate the coronavirus in Australia, and we intend to keep it that way by taking swift action when there’s a potential outbreak.
