12k tests since yesterday, in a state that had 1 new case which was detected in home quarantine.

NSW has done 96k tests in the same time period, a factor of 8x more. NSW has recorded 600ish cases in the same period and 10 deaths. I will be fair - I don't know how many of NSW's cases were detected in quarantine.

Testing seems to be fairly proportional? It's certainly not the highest number of tests we've done in a day - I think the peak has been around 50k mark - but it seems OK.

Their time will come sooner or later,

Without a doubt - but we're heading into summer now so hopefully that can wait until after we're satisfactorily double vaccinated ;)
