This is a statement from NSW Health yesterday: “The only way to find new cases and prevent further transmission is to increase testing." That’s just obviously wrong. There are all sorts of ways to prevent transmission of the virus, including masks, and restrictions on gatherings and movement. Why don’t they say that? Because the NSW Government believes we live in an economy, not a society, and those other restrictions would hurt the economy. From Day1, I say it ad nauseum I know, this set of beliefs was going to determine the outcome of the pandemic. In every country run by those beliefs, the virus is winning easily.
