Over the Hump?

April 6th - 3,324 active cases in Australia (down from 3,338 yesterday), 108 new cases in the last 24 hours. I think yesterday's huge decrease in active cases as from something administrative -- I think all at once they declared all cases older than two weeks to be recovered, but today's decrease of a reasonable amount of cases looks like we may indeed be on the downward side of the slope!!



   Cristina is on duty right now. She reports things are still pretty calm there.

   Not much else to report. Was pretty cold again today.

That's interesting. I mean, that was the goal of self-isolating, but it seems very soon for you to see such a precipitous drop.

All I know is that from looking at all the comparative data here in Europe, the curve does not behave like that. This may be due to Australia having vast expanses of very low population...it is much more virulent in highly populated areas. More local geographical studies would be interesting.

Also, I am seeing other dashboards that have Australia's number a good bit higher...like on this one:

Looking like a light at the end of the tunnel down under.

I sure hope it is the case for Australia. We all need to hear more good news like that!

I'm sorry it's getting cold for you. I hate cold weather.

Fingers crossed on the curve trending down in Australia.
