More deaths are expected as experts warn the COVID-19 fatality curve is lagging about two weeks behind the daily case count.  Latest cases demonstrate that people of all ages are susceptible to the illness.  A man in his 50s was one of the five people to die in Victoria and an infant is being treated for Coronavirus in New South Wales.
