But yeah 3 cases. I'd like to think a country such as ours could manage that.
Taking measures to ensure 3 cases doesn't metastasize in to a much larger number *is* "managing that".

quoted for accuracyAustralia is one of the world leaders in our handling of covid. No country is without flaws in how they've dealt with it but overall our leaders have done infinitely better than most of their rivals around the globe.
I lost a loved one to this disease because the Vic state government were softcocks on a BLM protest and two weeks later we had the second wave.Oh what a shame. You are over it are you?
Beyond frustrated are you?
Take a good hard look at yourself and now think of the rest of the world who are still wearing face masks and losing friends or loved ones from this disease.
You are cracking the sads because someone you know can't attend a sporting event!
Australia is one of the few countries who managed this epidemic well. Our economy may never be the same again for it but look at what this new strain of the covid is doing to countries right now. We should be thankful we can even allow 25k-50k into sporting events.

Sorry, clearly an emotive topic for me.Again, you make it personal.
Thank your lucky stars, yes cancer was deemed the predominant COD, but was in remission so the coroner declared contracting Covid as a significant contributory factor and it just pisses me off.I am sorry you lost a loved one. Personally, have not experienced that myself. I literally have an ice drug addict in my house who still believes this whole pandemic is manufactured and deliberately deployed by governments around the world. The same people who believed the twin towers were a deliberate government attack.
In a group PM with two people on here. Both in emergency services, and believe you me they are both fed up with it all as well.Everyone is over it.
You aren't the only one. I think life is pretty much back to normal as we speak and that we should be very thankful.
The times when we had 8pm curfew's and no driving beyond 5km radius are long behind us. Australia achieved what it had set out to achieve.
Now we have to ensure returning travelers from overseas are managed correctly.
Our leaders have advantages other countries do not. One being that we're quite isolated, so it's pretty easy to close down the borders. Also a small number of densely-populated cities and a more docile, passive population than in other countries. Victoria only didn't lead to disaster because draconian lockdown measures were enacted unlike seen in most other countries (and only in those hit much harder), and while that was effective at stopping it, the economic and societal tolls were enormous, and it would not have worked were the population of Victoria larger, more sparsely distributed and less compliant. Take the US as an example of the alternative when these parameters are flipped.Australia is one of the world leaders in our handling of covid.

Has nothing to do with leaders.

Old mate Scomo was following Boris Johnson and Trumps lead with their ambivalent attitude at the start. He was just lucky we are far enough away he could see the sh*t hit the fan overseas and was able to change tact before it was too late
Stop talking sense and praise the leaders.
Once again we're in a wealthy country on an island with a spread out population.Sorry, just trying to get my head around this. Are you suggesting that leadership is completely irrelevant? Or that the different policy approaches pursued, for example, by Boris Johnson in England vs. Moon Jae-in in South Korea had no material effect on the outcomes within their respective countries?
I'm no ScoMo fan but this is completely incorrect. At no point was he peddling anything as batshit as Trump's covid takes.
But then there was the Ruby PrincessOnce again we're in a wealthy country on an island with a spread out population.
New Zealand or Iceland would be the only countries that you could come close to comparing us too.
What did they do? Yeah increasing the dole etc was a good thing.
But should've have been done years ago.
NSW got their hotel quarantine right. But I expect well paid leaders to do their job at least half competently.
