I did make a point of how work on next stage of lockdowns are worked upon prior to the actual date.
The point i make still remains though. How much time do you need to go through every inch of industry and work out what we can and can't afford to close in terms of achieving/limiting the community transmission and at the same time trying to walk a fine line economically? THEN factor in how to actually brief the public so they don't start to riot!
Just on this, the day before stage 4 was announced there was a leak of what stage 4 could look like. Without seeing a date on document, it was clear that it was pretty close to what ended up happening, however, there will still some differences between that draft and the final. Dan said in his stage 4 press conference when quizzed about some differences between the 2 that he is unaware of which version the media were looking at. This clearly suggests that there have been multiple rewrites as data becomes available.
Another thing. I cannot recall where it was, but someone was talking about a country/city that imposed some kind of lockdown and insisted on masks etc, but there was physically not enough masks for the population to actually wear, especially when factoring in the needs of hospitals and the like. Another point on logistics vs mathematics i was referring too.
Finally the majority of cases have been in aged care. I'm not sure how much has been said publicly on the matter, but some of those numbers are inflated. Some people are dying and its being put down as Covid related despite never having a test for it while they were alive, or after. I said some time back that this kind of thing was happening in the US too. I'm not sure how much of that (mis)information is politically driven, but i'm sceptical of that. Of course the aged care industry has been exposed as being sub-par....mainly federal run sections of it too which is a whole other can of worms.
