The spread of the Coronavirus, COVID-19, has been both dramatic and horrifying. Between the 1st of March and 15th of April 2020 the number of known cases in Australia grew from 24 to 6447, with more than 60 deaths (Australian Health Department). Based on observations of the effects of outbreaks in countries including China, Iran and Italy, the Australian state, territory and federal governments issued unprecedented restrictions on travel, social gatherings and non-essential business, with the immediate effect of putting a significant number of people out of work.
