The results (from Ben Phillip's site) as of yesterday:
29 march growth.JPG
29 march control.JPG
I will make a few observations.
1.First is the data available to Australian governments will be ahead of this;
2. The doubling time is out to 4 days, so it is heading in the desired direction; Please take note on the graph of the dotted lines. These are called confidence limits covering the range of expected results. If you have been following this you have noted this lines are growing apart ie., greater uncertainty which is reflecting the pressure being applied;
3. At this point in time I would expect in 10 days there to be at least 16,474 active cases and about 160 deaths. However, it could be a lot better than this as there is a lag time between restrictions and impacts.

As to other nations:
New Zealand had to really come down hard as it got away and has a doubling time of 2.4 days. They could go from 500 odd cases now to 19,000 in ten days. They are applying a lot of pressure to turn this around;
In the US doubling time 3.1 days, active cases 138000, in 10 days 1 to 1.7 million. They are applying insufficient pressure expect many tens of thousands of deaths in the coming weeks.

There are some models going around describing scenarios in terms of medical capacity. These are complex but I will have a crack at coming up with some possible scenarios.

Best Wishes

Interesting stuff Truedogz. I note your comment that things could turn out to be better than your 10 day forecast because of the lag between the time measures are put into effect and the impact of the measures on infection rates.
Looking at today's 1.30 pm figures from John Hopkins University I am now in the cautiously optimistic camp. We have 4163 infections and, remarkably, only 18 deaths - that is a 0.43% mortality rate - a testament to our treatment approach and to the skills of our health professionals?
Also, there appears to be a notable flattening of the infections curve over the last couple of days. I hope this is not just a dead cat bounce. The next week should give us a truer picture. I'm looking forward to your next forecast.
Cheers, Col.

If you can translate this link from Portugese to English, it appears that they are having great results on a new drug

There is lag time both in appearance of symptoms (about 5 days) and impact of strategies (varies but yes a week when numbers are small)
