That's the thing, do you overreact now and get it under control asap or wait for it to get bad then struggle to get it under control?
Both ways have positives and negatives.

The real issue is the very high fatality rates the virus has on the elderly, or people with pre-existing respiratory problems, this means hundreds of thousands if not millions of Australians are at risk. Our ICU facilities will be overwhelmed with hundreds let alone thousands of cases.
It is a public health issue first and foremost. COVID-19 is highly contagious, undetectable and easily transmissible from person to person the only effective measure is to stop it from spreading and have the Virus ‘die’ because it can not find new hosts.
There will be quarantines/lockdowns beginning with COVID-19 hotspots this is inevitable. You’ve seen what people do regarding TP, what happens next?
On a plus side our GovCo has had the last 3-5 weeks preparing for this.
