@CoffeeFirst THats why we need to encourage anyone that they can give it to relatives and friends even if they don’t feel sick. They must understand that it is personal not remote.

@CoffeeFirst The difficulty in Australia, currently, with this virus is many people are asymptomatic or don't have any noticeable effects of it at all. However, when they have the virus and do not social distance, they will spread it unknowingly to the people they mix with. Those people will then spread it unless they social distance. This can mean that people can end up exposing family members to the virus, even though they have no symptoms.
