In every other State this would prompt further restrictions. Not because they’re over-anxious, but because you can’t detect asymptomatic infection with testing, if you’re testing people with symptoms only, as NSW is mostly doing. The only way to control asymptomatic infection is restrictions, it’s invisible. NSW has been lying for a year now, that it’s trying to eliminate community transmission. Spin. It’s been very lucky, let’s hope that luck holds.
