Of course lockdowns work but it takes only a few selfish, inconsiderate buttheads to ruin it. NSW didn't lockdown til 10 days after alarm bells went off and STILL won't enforce a 'hard' lockdown. It's not working out for them at all. Most of the regional cases in NSW have been spread by people travelling illegally out of hotspots because they 'dont believe in Covid' as one idiot put it a few days ago. Now he and both his kids are in hospital. How many have they infected as they travelled around busy tourism areas? Now, how about Japan? What a terrible mess they made of the Olympics simply by not wanting to stap on any toes and making 'suggestions' that bars stop serving alcohol after 8pm etc. Soft as soap and the sight of all those empty stadiums and venues should have woken some of you up.

Where I live in QLD (a small city of around 170000 people) we had just 2 cases and had a 3 day lockdown. Think of it as a circuit breaker.

Some people think the army is ruling the streets of NSW but in truth they are there to enable police to go back to policing - it's not like they're running around with weapons drawn. Too many entitled people running around with scant regard as to what happens if we let this virus have its head. How many of you guys will volunteer to work 80+ hrs a week in hospitals and health centres whilst wearing full PPE?
