Australia must be one of the few countries where sporting events are still currently scheduled to be played.

It's on: AFL confirms Round One will go ahead
The 2020 season will start on Thursday

Restaurants and pubs are still open. Only schools which have found a confirmed case of the virus are closed. Being an island obviously helps, but still it's obvious that our leaders are taking a much more stepped approach than most others. All on the best medical advice, of course, as other countries are all doing too.

We have run out of test kits in some places and with only 6 deaths so far are still earlier on the 'flatten it' curve than others, but it will be very interesting, a year from now, to see how the different approaches have worked.
