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.

If a serious lockdown had been imposed two weeks ago this could have all been knocked on the head...but no "NSW does things differently'

There has been no containment over the last two weeks its now spread all over the city and numbers are climbing.....im not sure what GB is waiting for - "burdens" are needed,

...thus causing a stampede of people, including potentially infected people, from NSW to QLD. What could possibly go wrong?

And our leaders still manage to find a way to balls it up. We are so fatigued. The virus is perfect, the fatal strain is inevitable, we are not preparing for it, it is preparing us.

Loved the footage of the bloke fishing who said he was ‘fishing for food to survive’. He was able to continue.

Try that in a Dan lockdown last year. Be at least 5k fine.

Not until the NRL teams, their entourage and families are 'safely' in Queensland and the State of Origin has been played. After all, the CHO said they present absolutely no risk to the Queensland community….

ah of course. Absolutely. Didn’t think of that. But 100% correct. I was wondering why she didn’t act last night. The warning was put out just like Victoria did. But Victoria acted the same day. No footy players relocating there though…

And hence why the thinly veiled warning to Qld residents in NSW, along the lines of “Get home now. I can’t make it any clearer than that”.
Well you could… you could stop speaking with a forked tongue.
