Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt says the national death toll from COVID-19 now stands at 74. “We are succeeding in flattening the curve, but the lives lost remind us just how powerful this is,” he told Sky News.
“We’re on a path to recovery but we still have to maintain our distancing and maintain these difficult isolation rules for the time being because if we don’t, we could see a second wave and if we see a second wave we could see tragedy.” Mr Hunt said the government would reassess lockdown measures after four weeks, but said: “I think social distancing will be with us for a considerable period now”.

China should be 'contrite' over COVID-19 | Sky News AustraliaChina under Xi Jinping's leadership has become 'more arrogant, more aggressive and less respectful of the rest of the world', something it should address in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis, according to former foreign minister Alexander Downer.\n\nThe US government has accused Beijing of a lack of transparency over its early handling of the novel coronavirus COVID-19.\n\nAmerican intelligence has reportedly claimed China knew about the pathogen as early as October, but failed to warn the world, including the World Health Organisation (WHO), about how contagious the disease was until February.\n\nAcademic research by the University of Southampton has revealed up to 95 per cent of deaths would not have happened if China and WHO acted earlier.\n\nMr Downer told Sky News this pandemic has been 'very damaging' for China and he said it would be in its interest to 'roll back' that arrogance and allow a fully independent, world-wide investigation into the cause of COVID-19.\n\n'China should be contrite about COVID-19,' he said.\n\n'They should work with the international community, establish how this started.'\n\n\n\n\n\n\n AlexanderDowner If anyone doubts what the CCP have in mind with regards to the rest of humanity- look at how they subjugate brutalize and indoctrinate their own citizens. They are the Nazis of our time. 😕 AlexanderDowner A bit like how the US has been since WW2...which they only joined when they were attacked after watching the nazis rampage through Europe. AlexanderDowner I think AlexanderDowner should probably be keeping his head down atm. I'm guessing he might be in a bit of shit in the not distant future.
