A very good question.
What is happening in Sydney is that lots (and lots) of people are saying: Well, if it's OK for the bottleshop to stay open and it's OK for the furniture store to stay open and it's OK for the police to ride around without masks on and it's OK for..... C-19 can't be that serious a risk.
And there are lots (and lots) of Sydneysiders who are saying: Stuff it. I'll do what I like and you can go your hardest on me.
Lockdowns need be done fully-arsed rather than half-arsed, if they are going to have much chance of succeeding.
