Hmm, OK.  Still, the US seems to be taking it more casually for the number of
cases compared to here.  But for us, there's optimism that our stance may pay
off, and that restrictions may be eased by mid-late May, and that near normal
domestic activity could occur relatively soon.  International travel will take
a LOT longer to return, and any international travel for the next 12-18 months
would likely require forced quarantine on return to Australia, possibly for up
to 18 months.

Here in Victoria, only one new case overnight, 0 in Queensland and a handful in
NSW, depite incresing testing.

This is the time of year with the most stable weather here. :)
