Australia is recording more daily cases of covid-19—744 on July 30th—than at the peak of its first wave in March and April
returnees in quarantine hotels made whoopee with the security guards who were supposedly supervising their isolation.

Australia is recording more daily cases of covid-19—744 on July 30th—than at the peak of the first wave in March and April. Back then its handling of the pandemic earned worldwide admiration.

Though there was never a full lockdown, just seven people died of covid-19 in the first wave.
