So I would say that your stated attitude if multiplied in the population is the problem.
Temporary restriction of freedoms
What is temporary?
Can you please just answer a simple question, define temporary?If people obey the rules, it will be less than if they don't.

There are standards available for pandemic treatment regarding restrictions versus an acceptable number of cases. I suggest you contact an epidemiologist for full details, I'm certainly not qualified to answer your question.
How hard is it! I will ask again, what is your personal definition of temporary?
It's very hard actually because it depends on the assumption that people observe the rules.
If people do the right thing then the time period will be less than if they don't.
eradication is smallpox eradication otherwise it is useless=> worldwide or it is not eradication, just attempt atSome random thoughts. Not saying I necessarily agree with them, they're just thoughts.
Legal - If someone breaches the lockdown requirements etc then that's attempted manslaughter is it not? Charge them accordingly and note their liability for economic costs incurred by others from whatever's needed to contain any outbreak to which they've contributed.
In principle I'm not overly keen on the whole "legal" approach but it might be effective. It is in similar situations eg workplace safety it's imperfect but gives a decent push to it that otherwise wouldn't exist.
Quarantine - At some future time there will be another pandemic that's a given and it may well be more (or less) serious than this one.
If we can't eradicate this pandemic then should we not be taking that as a huge warning sign that we're sitting ducks for another, far more serious, one to occur?
Can we ever go back to the idea of someone flying from Melbourne to Doha to London and simply walking straight off the plane and less than an hour later they're sitting on the Heathrow Express (train) next to someone who just arrived from China and across from someone who just arrived from the US all heading to Paddington (central London) from where they'll simply get of the train and walk straight out of the station?
Can we ever sensibly return to that knowing that we can't contain a pandemic if one starts? If we can't contain this one, then it seems foolish to think we'll contain a more serious one in future.
Cities - Put simply, is Australia having 40% of its population in just two cities an unacceptably large risk that we'd be foolish to continue?
Melbourne's in crisis already, we're in even more pain if Sydney goes as well.
Should we be enacting policies to outright stop any further growth in population in those two locations and indeed intentionally shrink them?
Should we cap any one city to, say, 10% of national population?
Those are just thoughts, I'm not claiming to have calculated anything etc, but I think there's some real issues here since sooner or later there will be another pandemic and the next one may well be far more deadly than this one. If we conclude that we can't contain this one, then we'd be wise to change our ways before the next one would we not?
So you cannot answer a simple question?
Not necessarily, Horace.If people obey the rules, it will be less than if they don't.
That's because it's not a simple question.
However start off with three months and see how it goes. That's been the case in all States except Victoria, so it's not "one size fits all".
It's meant to be 6 weeks only, 5weeks left.Oh so it is easy to make a stupid comment, but to clarify it is too hard.
People who live in glass towers! bla bla bla
It's meant to be 6 weeks only, 5weeks left.
That should be adequate. Depends how many nuffys are out there though.
The more there are, the more everyone especially business suffers.
I have to say though, 99% are trying their best. The streets are empty. Just about everyone is keeping their distance.We all know it's the local pub owner that will go broke if don't do it. And for me it's personal as we are friends with the local pub owner. She is doing it tough.
We don't. If we had mass resistance then it would fail. Only a few nuffys and even they can't spread it if no one goes near them.It is a virus, it doesn't care about what percentage do the right thing, only takes one to start the spread again.
If people complied, we would have not need for police, locks on our cars and houses.
People be real, instead of believing in fantasies.
If you really appreciate her, you are aware as well that this will be repeated again and again unless a vaccine is found..not a chance but this is the part where i may be wrong,It's meant to be 6 weeks only, 5weeks left.

The fact is whether you agree with it or not, this is the course taken by the government.If you really appreciate her, you are aware as well that this will be repeated again and again unless a vaccine is found..not a chance but this is the part where i may be wrong,
or a face saving fake vaccine is released.the earlier the better as long as I am not obliged to get it.
Already articles in sheeple press to say it should be mandatory ..so avoiding the obviously awkward possibility of figures comparing...
VIC.We don't. If we had mass resistance then it would fail. Only a few nuffys and even they can't spread it if no one goes near them.
The nuffys need to careful also. My sister in law would punch them in the face if they tried. She works at on erdely persons home.
Its worked before. Basic maths.
