Amazon are fixing the problem by building automated distribution facilities......

Like the Macca's Fawkner that was in infected by one delivery driver.

Maybe the customers became the network....................maybe matches up with the movement corridors and the shut down burbs.

Herd immunity -> no more virus
Herd mentality -> no more dunny rolls

Relying on "Herd Immunity" as an answer to the COV19 virus is NOT an option especially when there is NO definitive evidence that once infected/recovered the immunity is a long term thing.
Isolation until a serum is found for this virus is by FAR the Best and Safest option.
IF what is happening in VIC is to be the so called "New Normal" then I am so glad that WA won't be opening its borders until places like VIC can eliminate the spread of this virus or a proven vaccine is made available in Australia.

can you name a virus where: once infected/recovered the immunity is NOT a long term thing?

Shingles.

Various forms of influenza.

This might be promising. Some might be immune.
People testing negative for coronavirus antibodies may still have some immunity, a study has suggested.
For every person testing positive for antibodies, two were found to have specific T-cells which identify and destroy infected cells.
This was seen even in people who had mild or symptomless cases of Covid-19.
But it's not yet clear whether this just protects that individual, or if it might also stop them from passing on the infection to others.
Researchers at the Karolinksa Institute in Sweden tested 200 people for both antibodies and T-cells.
Some were blood donors while others were tracked down from the group of people first infected in Sweden, mainly returning from earlier affected areas like northern Italy.
This could mean a wider group have some level of immunity to Covid-19 than antibody testing figures, like those published as part of the UK Office for National Statistics Infection Survey, suggest.
