The reason why Australia and New Zealand had low covid numbers is cos we're isolated mate not cos of politicians
So you think it would have been the same if nothing was done?
Russia, USA, Brazil are examples of what can happen if the government is too slow to react.
Canada has recorded 98k cases, it possibly could have been worst than that in Australia if nothing was done.
The problem with Australia is the population densities within the cities. And on the weekend those high population densities seem to travel to other places, it can easily be seen how it could have spread, especially in the tourist hotspots, where they crowd these other locations.
We went up to 500+ a day in the peak of covid-19 before the government stepped in, to introduce restrictions, we are now at under 10, sometimes under 20 cases a day, in the nation of Australia.
I think it could possibly have been a disaster for NZ too, if they did nothing. Qatar has about 40%+ less people than the population of NZ, it's a desert nation, they had 78k cases.
Sweden has less than half the population of Australia, they acted late and have 50k cases and 4.8k deaths, moving closer to 5k, so going by that, we would possibly have 100k cases in Australia, if nothing was done.
Oman a desert nation of 4.8 million people, they are now recording 1k+ cases a day.
So I am defending J. Ardern, D. Andrews and Scomo on this one and saying they did a good job in reducing the rate and numbers of covid-19 by introducing restrictions.
