CV and mad panic behaviour

[mateinone]

Dan ain't perfect,  far from it,  but would the old Liberal mates cabal have done anything better?  I shudder at the thought of oBrien being the front man for that pack of utter bastards.

Well it is an unknown.. Certainly a liberal premier is managing NSW so far successfully after early bungling.
And she is handling it much better than Dan has managed Victoria, I don't think this virus is impacted by which side of the political spectrum the state leader is.
I have no love for O'Brien either and really who would want to be a premier at this stage?, So Dan has one hell of a hard job.
And as I stated before, I agree with the need for lockdowns today.

But the questions about Dan are not the hypothetical questions such as whether O'Brien would have done better, but questions such as..
Has Dan done a good job?
Have his governments mistakes cost lives? How many
Have his governments management saved lives? How many
Is he going to impact lives and businesses beyond what is required?
Does he have a firm grasp on what is required to manage the virus?
Is he able to strike the balance that provides people with relief, but contains this virus?
Is the level of visibility into errors made satisfactory?
Is the level of insight of the decision making satisfactory?

If you are satisfied with these questions or your own then that is reasonable.
Personally I am not

Btw during the first wave, I applauded him and stated that his efforts were world leading.
This wasn't just a flippant comment, I compared Victoria's numbers with those of countries with a population above 5 million from a statistical point of view (excluding some because of problems with nature of testing or reporting in the country) and I meant he really was World Leading.
In early July I also said elsewhere that I back him to bring us out of this, he deserved that right even if the government mishandled quarantine and let it back into the public.
So I am certainly not a Dan hater personally. I just am very upset at what I consider that actual mishandling this 2nd wave, especially after having so much confidence in his ability to do so.
