Monash has surveyed for both waves of Covid in Australia, to test what Australians know, feel and how they behave, with Covid. Testing and tracing won't save any country, including us. Up to half of men and a third of women don't even bother getting tested. You need other restrictions and enforcement, including lockdowns. The key finding says it all: "COVID-19 waves are inevitable in Australia because not enough Australians adhere to the behaviours needed. A suppression strategy may only become effective if adherence increases to more than 9-in-10."
