Gladys is doing what many people were saying Victoria should have done last year namely protect the elderly and let life go on. So from that perspective, we must look at the lives lost in New South Wales until the end of September this year and compare it to a normal year when influenza is present. This cannot be done in Victoria as we were bowled over by the Hotel Quarantine We Had To Have luckily leading to less of a recession We Definately Did Not Have To Have. Keating and Andrews now have this in common. But assessing the situation after a couple of more months even though the cases are higher than last week. That is to be expected but somewhat optimistically, i do not think that new south wales will have weeks when daily death totals were ranging from 16 to mid twentees. So lets compare all the relevant statistics down the track. Until then, all we have to compare are 800 deaths in Victoria, five lockdowns and all the rest.
