The epidemiologist who led Sweden's controversial COVID-19 response, which did not involve a strict lockdown, now says that the country should have done more to stop the spread of the virus, according to news reports.

"If we were to run into the same disease, knowing exactly what we know about it today, I think we would end up doing something in between what Sweden did and what the rest of the world has done," Anders Tegnell, the state epidemiologist of the Public Health Agency of Sweden, told Swedish Radio on June 3, according to Reuters.

No new cases in 15 days only 1 active .....we may be getting on top of this over the ditch

A lot of pressure coming on the government to remove restrictions and stick to social distancing and keeping the border closed

Closing the borders EARLY has been the most effective mechanism.

Agee, but what may have been better would have been the Chinese govt locking down Wuhan before the virus spread beyond that city. Probably they will do that next time but there's no guarantee. Australia will always be vulnerable to anything that develops over there as we have so many tourists and students come from there. Without them a lot of jobs will never come back.
