Re: No new locally-acquired coronavirus cases in Australia yesterday
#2This is fantastic news. I do worry about the US though. As far as I can tell huge numbers of people are still treating this like it is nothing. I base this, very expertly, on the sheer number of large Halloween parties I was invited to tonight... and how people (aged 28-40) are still mocking those who won’t congregate with 50 randos in a house. It’s very perplexing. And on the ever-increasing infections and deaths.
Also, don’t forget to vote.
Edit: spelling

#3I went to the linked page. It doesn't have zero cases. Maybe it's just the classic case of reading the data before the data is in?

The U.S. is filled with blind exceptionalism and narcissism compounded with social media and propaganda running rampant along with oligarchs who care about little else than money. This election hopefully provides a temporary relief, but there are seriously deep problems at hand.

When we say 0 cases we usually mean 0 locally acquired cases. We’re worried about community transmission rather than international travellers.
If someone enters the country they’re quarantined in a hotel room for 14 days. If someone tests positive during that quarantine period we report it, but count it separately.

#6> 6 new cases today (+5)*, 9 yesterday (+5)
Title doesn't seem to match data.

Don’t be such an wide-eyed optimist, the US election will lead to 3 months of strife in the best case scenario. Both sides expect the other will try to steal the election, so how is it going to relieve anything?

#8> 6 new cases today (+5)*, 9 yesterday (+5) Title doesn't seem to match data.
All new cases reported in Australia today (Sun Nov 1, from tests performed on Sat Oct 31st) were acquired overseas and are in hotel quarantine.
Aside from them there were no new cases, even between close contacts (household etc).
So, the title is true for locally acquired cases, which I believe is the point the submitter is trying to make.
(Also there was only one locally acquired case the previous day, in the state of South Australia, which has barely had an outbreak at all, thanks to having a sparse population and relatively little international air traffic).
There were over 76000 test results processed to achieve that result, and there is a strong message through the community to get tested with even the mildest/vaguest of symptoms. Testing is free and stations are located to be easily accessible to most of the population, particularly in Victoria, which had a serious outbreak from June to September.

The title should be "no new locally-acquired cases", but there was actually one that came in after the cut-off time so it will be counted in tomorrow's numbers.

Europe isn't looking much different right now.
