What happens next in Victoria depends on its mystery cases

Norman Swan made a big call in predicting that Victoria will start to see a reduction in coronavirus cases by next week, but not everyone agrees with him.

Some health experts say it’s more likely that the state will experience a wide curve, rather than a sharp decline.

Ultimately, it’ll come down to how many unknown mystery cases there are in the community.

So is Norman sticking by his prediction?

On today’s show:

* How sure is Norman about his big prediction?

* What did we learn from SARS-CoV-1? Can we apply any knowledge from that?

* Can you get COVID-19 multiple times within a short time frame?

* If I can smell cigarette smoke and if I inhaled it from someone who was infected could I get sick?

* What is «pool testing»? Why don’t we use it in Australia?

* Does UVC light effectively kill airborne coronavirus?
