Population numbers might be similar but Florida has something like 2.2% of the land mass of Australia so really not at all comparable.

Sadly, NZ has 2 new cases after some 5 (?) weeks of 0.  That means that incubation period is lot longer, or that there can be undetected infection from one asymptomatic person to another. 

And Victoria had 21 new cases in 24 hours; 6 of them community transmission.
