[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 757358, member: 24721"] I just want to comment on this because here in Australia we locked down early and it was not voluntary. Our population, although much smaller than the US, is larger than Sweden. We have had a much lower rate of infection than Sweden. In fact, our rate of infection is one of the lowest in the world. We are starting to very slowly ease restrictions now, but we know that it is going to be a very gradual process. I’m so worried about all my friends overseas, especially in the US. Staying home has been difficult for us and it has had economic consequences. I feel for people who are out of work and can understand why people want things to go back to normal, but until there there is a vaccine I can’t see how things can go back to the way the were before the virus. I think our nation and our neighbour, New Zealand, have proved that lock down and social distancing really work. We have had less than 7000 cases nationally and despite very widespread testing, new cases each day are now in single digits. Stay home if you can! [/QUOTE]
