What are the real numbers Victoria needs to focus on?

Every day we get a news alert informing us exactly how many new cases of coronavirus have been detected in Victoria.

From there the rolling average is calculated and analysed as to how close Melbourne is to finally taking the next step out of lockdown.

But what if that’s not the right number to focus on?

On today’s Coronacast, could another number tell us more about what’s really going on and how far away the next step might be?

On today’s show:

* Norman re-thinks his earlier criticism about Victoria’s contact tracing system

* Johnson & Johnson pauses its COVID-19 vaccine trial

* China announces first locally acquired cases in two months and announces it’ll test a whole city
