From memory something like 60% of the Australian deaths were in Aged Care Homes.BTW I get all the figures at about 5am UK time (2pm AEST) so they will relate to the previous day but I suspect that is the same as here where they release the figures each morning for the previous 24 hours up to midnight.
There is a slight discrepancy between the Worldmeters figure and the John Hopkins University figures but it is so small as to be meaningless. for example the global figures at the same time (now)
Worldometers: 29,206,669
John Hopkins Uni: 29,019,639
You could be right about the nursing and care homes Bruce, but I think it might only part of the reason. The reduction in deaths is far too great to be attributed to just the one theory....

by falling infections then as we relax controls a rising infection rate
untill controls are applied again! I think this pattern will repeat
several times with lower peaks each time untill we reach a sort of
ambient level of infections that we will have to "live with" ?
The death rate will also continue to fall as the vulnerable continue
to become less prevalent due to having been culled by the disease !
This will result in world populations becoming healthier with the
benefits this entails !
Obviously this is only my opinion but the pattern is allready becoming
clear to those that can see??

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
There was some good news this morning. Queensland had only 1 case (in hotel quarantine), NSW had none, Victoria had 43 cases but no deaths and is on track to get down to 5 cases per day in October when Melbournes lockdown will be relaxed.The only disturbing news was that testing in NSW is down below 10000 per day, the Premier urged people with any symptoms to get tested because NSW doesn't want a second wave.
In other news the head of the Australian Border Force says the capacity of hotel quarantine is "not enough" to allow for every Australian stranded overseas to come home at once. There is a cap on the number of returning residents allowed in each week.
South Australia's Premier has hinted a decision on reopening the border with New South Wales and the ACT could come as soon as tomorrow.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Overnight figures for the UK = 2621 new cases with 9 deaths registered....I've just checked back to 28th March 2020 and there were 2549 new cases registered overnight with 260 deaths....
I'm beginning to wonder if the reason for the recent low death rate and increasing infection rate is because there are inaccuracies in the readings or the analysing of the testing data.

You may not like to admit it, but it is pointless to invest resources
on bringing people over a certain age back from deaths door as
their natural life span is over and they can never recover
sufficiently to get any quality of life again?
