    Snippet: Future travel restrictions may have an impact for the next few weeks but potential importations will eventually be overwhelmed by local transmission, unless we can completely control transmission by achieving a reproduction number below 1. We estimate local transmission will outweigh imports sometime in the next two weeks if transmission proceeds at the pace it did in China prior to Jan 21 (R0 = 2.63), but will be delayed if Australia can success.....
