Well the town I live in is ground zero for Australia, about 2 weeks ago we had 1 case from the Americas, now it's 752, in my city alone. It's happened that quickly because it's winter and it's cold and flu season. They are worried that places like Australia and Chile or anywhere in the southern hemisphere where it has exploded very quickly, could be the place where it's going to mutate. Melbourne and the state of Victoria is the 1st place outside North America that has been put into the same category as Canada, US and Mexico. Wish us luck, there have been no deaths here yet, but winter has only begun. 752 confirmed cases in 2 weeks, Melbourne's population is 3.5 Million. It's going to be very interesting but thankfully it has been very mild for the vast majority of people who have contracted it, who are mainly students. Wish us luck!! Peace C
