Brownian motion of people and ideas and...hey presto, a company!
I doubt that the longest lockdown in the world will prove friendly to serendipity. Quite the reverse.

Sometimes a "world first" is because you're innovating.
Sometimes it's because it's so dumb that no-one else wanted to do it.

Our SEIR on a graph says:
(i) Symptom Onset to Test Time (& to self-isolation)
(ii) Share of Contacts Traced

Australia is roughly level with Italy in COVID-19 tests per capita

Excellent paper in @TheLancet on the difficult tradeoffs:
> Governments will not be able to minimise both deaths and the economic impact
