The reason for going to stage 4 was not because it was running away, but because the decline was going too slowly that it would extend stage 3 for longer than required.
Stage 4 was planned so that stage 3 would be required for less time than had stage 4 not been implemented at all.
So that leads us to the other question? Why no decline since masks and stage 4??
At a guess....its still too soon to tell.
At another guess....stage 4 was not a huge step up compated from stage 2 -> stage 3.
And a final guess.....people simply are not buying into it anymore. The backlash over this has been far in excess to anything i predicted. The anti-maskers, anti-government, COVID conspirators etc are growing in numbers and its ruining it for everyone.
So....how much of this is Dans fault?
SFA
But again, the gradient did not increase post Stage 3 lock down, even after allowing a lag.
And before masks.
Dan's fault? 100%.
Let's be frank, if the government was a corporate, and Dopey Dan the CEO, he would have been removed by the Board months ago.
He has presided over the greatest public health disaster in Australian history.
A staggering cost of 100s of lives (already, more into the future from suicide, DV, increased crime) and a massive economic cost to boot.
Need I go on?
Finals, then 4 in a row!
