The tragic reality of so many people being infected with coronavirus over the past month has started to play out in Victoria.

Yesterday a record number of Victorians died of coronavirus in a single day.

So while the number of daily cases seems to have started to fall, when will the death rate also start to go down?

On today's show:

* It seems that while new daily cases have started to fall, sadly the death rate is up. Why are we only seeing it now?

* NSW says it's halfway through its critical phase. What does that mean?

* How did New Zealand get to zero spread?

* Does Australia still have a chance to get there?

* How are vaccines distributed in pandemics? Who gets it first?
