It appears there were failings in quarantine and aged care management in particular, and the inquiry results will answer some of our questions when they are released. But some of the Victorian people let the Government down when restrictions were introduced. They argued the lockdowns were an overreaction and were defiant and non-compliant. This required sterner action by the Government.
When I look at the impact of Covid in some other countries that do not have a health system like ours and many people do not have a home to isolate and protect themselves in, I wonder how spoilt we are. I guess some people choose only to focus on the failures and not the achievements. The world is learning how to cope with this virus and the finger is being pointed at Australia and NZ as positive role models. Andrews has learned from his mistakes and it appears the Victorian people are relatively safe again. I for one choose to see the entire picture, and not just the chapters I don't like.

It would seem that this man has been remarkable in reducing the Covid case numbers from 700+ to 0 and 0 for the last week. Despite the criticism, bullying and harassment by the Federal Government, he remained firm and got the job done. Well done Mr Andrews.

So true! The ultimate price has been paid. Not only has the economy been damaged to an extent that it's going to take a miracle to get it back to where it should be ijn the bigger picture, the health of the people has been compromised. How? Well, the mental effect of what has taken place with the lockdown overkill hasn't been understood. Then there are long term physical effects by forced dietry changes for a lot of people.

It would seem that this man is quite happy to turn Vic into a police state.
Seeing as the citizens didn't want to do the right thing and kept ignoring the stated requirements of wearing a mask, social distancing, and only having 5 visitors, etc and more then 200 fines were being handed out daily to show that he wasn't given any choice but to lock down which has worked.

Your disagree just doesn't make sense as that post states what happened AFTER the cases went up.
You also marked it as the solution and yet it has nothing to do with your opening post as you asked for the belt to be loosened yet there is no mention of anything resembling that.
Sounds like you would've been one of the protesters that were against the lockdown and ignored all the warnings to not protest and have now found out how stupid those protests were.

From what I can see by reading from nicnnacs_4u's posts, there is concern for what will come about as a result of Andrew's heavy handed approach to this issue. With the damage to the economy, the criminal element will take advantage of this and become more unstoppable. Normal decent people will be tempted to engage in criminal activity.
Well, as far as the marches are concerned, they were necessary as there were more than one issue being brought to attention. Nothing stupid about them at all. It is stupidity when people just blindly go along with what ever is dished out without even saying boo.

No protester here and I am definately was not against the lockdown.My original post was about Dan Andrews and how earlier on him and his party made mistakes and we as a state paid the price.Did any of the other States have to go into state 4?I marked it hoping that we could finish this post.Please can we just move on..tia

I have a friend in Wisconsin USA who is quite envious of how we have turned things around here. Over there, they had a regulation requiring mask wearing but now there is not even that as the Republican party challenged it as unconstitutional. If they can't even work together to do something as simple as wear masks when out and about, there's no hope.
Fingers crossed we in Australia can get the numbers so low we can go back to an almost normal lifestyle. Meanwhile, keep the rest of the world out or at least very well quarantined away from us till they get the all clear.

His heavy handed approach is why we are now at 0/0 as that was the only way we could get there because people refused to do as they were told and the cases were going up because of their stupidity.
Check other countries who look to follow his example as they know it's the only way to bring the cases down.
Now you have done the same by posting suppositions that seem to be your own imaginations and have nothing to do with the original post that that was replied to.

NO,THEY WERE NOT NECESSARY
They put the lives at others at risk and here you go blaming Andrews yet it's fine for others provided they protest about things you believe in and obviously like you they didn't care about others that they may have put in danger.
Ever wondered where some of the mystery cases came from?
Consensus by some was that it was from those protesters but they wouldn't admit it as then they wouldv'e been seen as even more stupid and they couldn't risk that and it was far better to risk the lives of others.
Did you even bother reading what I wrote or did you simply not comprehend it?
That post had NOTHING to do with his opening statement or what he was replying to and it was just an add on that should have been posted on it's own and not as a reply to that post.
Solutions should have only gone to posts that answered his original question as that's what it's supposed to be used for and not to mark your own irrelevant post as one.
