Time to calm down peeps.
I thought this originally, taking it very seriously now.

Rate of infection is high 15-20% per day and Oz has 2k ICU beds most of which are in use.

The math is not great on this if you assume 10-15% of those infected will require hospitalisation.

On our way to at least 5-10k infected (1895 atm) - min 750-1500 beds needed.
