Social distancing measures are predicted to save 12,000 lives in SA over the next 90 days according to independent COVID-19 modelling.
According to The Advertiser:In the best-case scenario, the number of lives lost could possibly be kept under 100. In the worst-case scenario, the hospital system could be rapidly inundated and 12,000 people could die within three months, including 550 under the age of 40. Social distancing measures have flattened the curve, but hospitalisations are steadily increasing, forecast to reach 1200. Sydney data strategy firm Smash Delta, which has worked on NSW state government projects, used globally accepted methods to forecast our state’s COVID-19 future.
