@pugsley100; it's now emerged that Morrison and his 'preferred medicos' have rejected expert medical advice to act more decisively and sooner to reduce the total impact and truncate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It's irresponsible of Morrison NOT to explain this to the Australian people:

"... A key member of an expert panel advising the Government's response to COVID-19 has voiced her frustrations at Australia's staged shutdown approach, warning the death toll could potentially rise if the Government did not take a "go hard, go now approach".

Raina MacIntyre from the UNSW's Biosecurity Program is part of an expert panel from Australia's leading universities, which recommended an immediate but short lockdown to curb cases, an approach the Government did not take. "I was hoping we'd see a more comprehensive lockdown for a short period of time, but that is not the approach we're taking," Professor MacIntyre said.

"It's more a trickle sort of approach, a little bit by bit, which won't be as effective at stopping the transmission in the community."

Professor MacIntyre said the majority of panellists — including specialists from the fields of epidemiology, bio-ethics and medicine — urged the Government to act within a short and vital window."

The majority of people on the panel did agree with this go hard, go now approach," she said.

"The other alternative is to wait until things really get out of control and your health system starts to get infected. …"

And the Morrison Government have rejected economic advice to immediately subsidise wages. The scale of incompetence by this Government is truly astounding.
