CV and mad panic behaviour

[LP]

There aren't any significant policy or leadership differences between NSW and Victoria. They both used hotels for quarantine, they both used private security firms to monitor those hotels. It could have gone t1ts up just as easily in NSW. Most of the Victorian deaths are still aged care related. Dan at the very least tried to be proactive, and get on the front foot to tackle it head on, rather than the wait-and-see approach in NSW.

At any rate, covid is far from over, and in the final analysis it could look very different to what it does now.

The NSW Health department have the learnings from the Vic outbreak and the treatment of Vic patients, so we would hope the outcomes are better, but given the reluctance to force restrictions, or the NSW Public reluctance to comply, it seems the beneficial outcome from that previous experience will be marginal at best. When you read the public commentary in NSW, they still are in denial, it's hard to believe.

Very early in the 1st outbreak, the UK Health Dept publicly stated the biggest problem would be long term compliance of the public, this was their experience from the various wars that imposed restrictions and constraints on the activities of the general public, people can be expected to comply for a few weeks or a couple of months, but after that complacency and wilful disobedience set in.
