The answer needed to save Australia from coronavirus

If Australia's response to the coronavirus will be the same as last year's flu, given that mortality in Western Australia was 11.72 times more than in Italy, considering that to date there have been 2503 deaths in Italy for the coronavirus (17/03/2020), there may be approximately 30,000 in Australia (i.e. rounding 2500 x 12), so the Australian government must wake up and react immediately! And not wait for the disaster to progress as for the fires of this year. It is necessary to close schools and all public workplaces immediately and make them work using the internet, to test those who travel when they arrive and depart at the airport and at checkpoints on interstate and suburban roads and at railway stations. The use of a mask must be imposed on people, which should be sent by the Government to the home of all citizens as soon as possible, and isolation must be imposed on all, except in special cases. And the Army should prepare for the construction of field hospitals to be installed where the situation may go out of control for hospitals and to provide support for checkpoints and other services. The results of such a prevention could lead to total containment and minimize cases and all this is still possible because we have not yet entered the winter phase but if politicians continue to think about the economy instead of the life of citizens, it is obvious that this invisible enemy will expand exponentially very quickly, exactly as happened in other countries! The economy will collapse anyway but it will adjust itself when the danger has passed. And after the quarantine period for all, it will be enough to continue to test those who enter the country in ports and airports. To win this battle we need politicians to act like lions, not like camels.
