CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

I tend to blame ScoMo more than Andrews, he pushed for a reopening due to the economic effects and Andrews was forced to comply after being the Jacinda Ardern of Australia and enforcing the tightest lockdown of all states.
Speaking of Ardern she nailed it with stage 4 from late March and NZ have had 17 days with no cases, its the only proven way with no vaccine and both Victoria and NSW need to adopt same for a couple of months at least.
We cant be opening, locking down, opening, locking down and repeating the cycle, we need to go hard now and the economy is going to have to get worse and yes we will pay for it later but thats the scenario IMO.

I strongly suspect you're right, EB1. I wonder if the far right of the LNP put a lot of pressure on ScoMo to back up, to soften his stance - the kind of stance that Andrews took first up. Might also explain why Andrews hasn't gone hard the 2nd time 'round... Federal pressure. Be interesting to see what happens if Sydney continues to record more growth in C-19 cases. If we were fair dinkum we'd go the Kiwi model and shut the place down and close the nation to incoming flights for at least a month.

Moderation/trusting the public with different stages of lockdown just doesn't seem to work so well.
