Or would you prefer all areas affected?
Chances are, every state will have its turn at an outbreak.
If it can be limited to one state at a time, the nation as a whole can continue to function and provide support for the affected state.
Nobody in their right mind wants any borders closed,its time people saw the real reason for their closure instead of going some ridiculous revenge theory.
Nobody can deny how well NSW has managed this virus & even now despite not making masks mandatory they are doing everything to get it under control as quickly as possible.
Instead of accusing Andrews of being happy about closing the border & smirking as he announced it why not consider the massive risk involved if he doesnt.
The flow of people heading south would be out of control & if just a couple of them were infected it could well be the start of another disaster here in vic.
The anger of NSW people should be directed at the 2 boomers who thought the law didnt apply to them,they need to be singled out & made pay in the highest way possible.
Lots of people in vic dont like Andrews as im sure lots in nsw dont like Gladys but we have to accept their decisions & here in vic we have paid dearly for 1 really bad decision he made but right now i think the vast majority support his decision to close the border & in reality the option of doing nothing could spell disaster.
Lets hope the numbers over the next few days let us all enjoy xmas in the best way.
