No I’m from NSW. Victoria is suffering badly at the moment, it’s a pretty sad situation. And unfortunately more deaths to come in the coming weeks and months. The numbers were a bit lower yesterday though, so let’s hope it’s a start of the trend of the lockdown measures beginning to work and people starting to listen to government directive.
The problem right now for them are the nursing homes and also meatworks/abattoirs. The cases stemming from these facilities seem to grow exponentially and I’ve noticed that trend in a lot of places around the world.
NSW is slowly (but surely) creeping up in numbers. Ours was totally self-inflicted, because our moronic State Premier, didn’t close the border to Victoria in time. So someone from Melb came to Sydney for work whilst infectious (1 month ago) and has set off a chain reaction. So far our contact tracers are doing a heroic job of tracking and tracing, but more and more cases are popping up in dense inner-city area and this is going to be a problem imo...
Wouldn’t shock me to see us where Victoria is now in a couple of weeks. We’ve basically opened up everything in our state, barely anyone wearing mask, nobody adhering to social distancing, pubs and restaurants packed, gyms full - it’s going to be chaos. Looks like we didn’t learn from our first wave.
