So you be happy to be like the UK having at least 10's of Thousands Cases a Day and 100's of People Dying a Day then?

No Dave, it's not either/ or. NSW has proven and Andrew's learned that you don't need to lock down hundreds of thousands of people if you've got decent contact tracing.

As soon as you get a case you lock them and their immediate family and any close contacts down, then close contacts of the family and of the close contacts. That takes most of the risk out without messing with hundreds of thousands of people for no reason.

McGowan is a blonk. NSW kicked him out yonks ago
I guess Glady should run the Covid Thing for the Whole Country and she has done a Fantastic Job :lol:

Don’t know what you’re laughing at Dave, Gladys has done a remarkable job. NSW has taken on more arrivals than any other state and yet has a qtr of the cases Victoria had who’ve probably taken the least international arrivals.

NSW did a remarkable job containing and stopping their latest outbreak without the need for these ridiculous over the top reactions in WA, SA and QLD.

Even when the Dansaster ripped through Victoria we still didn’t have anything like overseas, so I’m not too concerned with what’s happening over there.

Some governments in Australia are very competent and capable of containing this without lockdowns and have done it time and time again.

If you want to live a life where you believe your only way to survive is to wear a mask outdoors by yourself and be locked up for 23 hours a day then good luck to you.

They don't. People are selling up and leaving Melbourne, moving to regional areas or interstate. And shithole of a state are your words, not mine.
