The state of Victoria is now under more restrictions, after being forced to ratchet them up due to a rise in coronavirus cases. Victoria has had nearly a week of daily double digit increases of COVID-19 cases as coronavirus circulates. While the situation isn't yet as bad as it was before the lockdowns, it has health authorities and political leaders worried. So how did we end up in this situation? On today's show: * What's going on in Victoria? * Why don't state governments make people who test positive to COVID-19 go into forced quarantine? * Is the situation better or worse than when restrictions and lockdowns were first started? * For every person detected with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test, how many are in the community undetected? * What is actually a second wave? Does it mean small clusters breaking out here and there, or a big spread of the virus again?
