Mark McGowan keeps looking at Sydney(NSW) and Melbourne(VIC) for comparisons, they aren't the examples we should be following as there population size and density is very different to WA. Sydney just went open slather which caused a sharp peak, and Melbourne density and lifestyle/public transport systems caused higher human-to-human contact. WA Premier seems focused on these jurisdictions, when in news conferences.
WA should be learning from South Australia, their rules are allowing the state the go through the COVID peak in a sensible way to keep the peak infection peak low and flat infection curve over time. to not place too much pressure on the hospital system at any point in time, while allowing travel under a range of sensible conditions to allow the virus to flow through the community in a managed way. The premier has alot of goodwill, he needs to use this to engineer, with the help of the public, a low infection rate spread over time before winter.
We need go this covid infection cycle over the next 3-4 months, so it is largely burnt out by winter otherwise our hospital will be code browning, burning medical staff and causing unnecessary deaths.
This may already be happening, with the threads of infection already hear. I want to see the modelling for WA, this should be open source available.
