Its looking like it could be a combination of things. VIc's track and trace may not be 100% efficient. But also the reporting and testing in other states may not be as rigorous? 30 suburbs in NSW are now on "watch" due to CV being detected in sewerage systems. Not sure how accurate this type of testing is. Other countries have claimed that they detected CV in sewerage samples before Jan. Could be hit and miss.
In any rate, even if other states are not reporting, we haven't seen a flood of sick people going into hospitals. So either it is what it is (few cases), or the virus has now mutated to a point where it is less potent (which I believe is what viruses do?).
