9 July

Remember that testing and tracing was our 'roadmap to a CovidSafe Australia'? Victoria did more of it than anybody, see the graph. It didn't help. Every country in the world who thought this was a way to be half-pregnant, to run the economy 'alongside' the virus, has failed. I'm not sure we're seeing the reality we're facing. NSW thinks it's working here, but that's because we have almost no virus. We effectively eliminated. If virus gets back into NSW, or any other State, we can expect more of Victoria, if we don't have strong restrictions. You can't 'open up' in a pandemic.
