I'm sorry, what the actual fuck are you talking about when you say it doesn't look like we're containing it? Because if you actually look at all of the graphs, and more importantly the numbers next to them, it paints a hilariously different picture. Are you actually trying to say that the fact that we had an entire 15 deaths over 2 days, at a time which lines up perfectly as from them being from people that were infected before isolation measures were put in place, as a spike? Because that's fewer deaths in the entire country than what most states in America are getting per day. Also if you look at the graph for active cases, you'd note that it's basically in a free fall right now, and funnily enough on that same day which you're calling a massive spike in deaths, we went from 4633 active cases to 3418. So oddly enough right after we started quarantine we had immediate and massive effects on the disease.I was talking about the US myself, which is admittedly my bad, but since you asked...
I'm using this because it has an easy to read graph: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/australia/ Let me know if you use something different.
If you look at the cases, it looks like you're containing it. If you look at the deaths, it doesn't. In fact, you seem to have had a spike in deaths after the lockdown came into effect if I'm getting my dates right.
Which brings us to a problem about this disease. Testing has been horribly done almost all over. It's typically just for people feeling ill, and has been constrained by faulty and contaminated testing.
Look at this graph and tell me when the lockdown started. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/
Keep in mind it has an incubation period. You should be seeing a slightly less steep angle around the start of April.
Show me statically that our quarantine procedures have been working. Seriously. I am not seeing it at all.
