There is no rocket science here.

If we were talking about any other topic then I'd say fair enough, but this is Covid Delta.
That hundreds died in Victoria as a result of the less transmittable original strain would suggest that how Victoria has handled it and subsequent outbreaks would be the absolute standard.
To 'learn the hard way' is to not only gamble with lives, but to sacrifice lives in order to test your method.
That is a disgrace and something that should be held accountable for.
You're right though, its not rocket science, its logic.
This recent suggestion from Gladys and co. That spread is happening between people in essential areas is hardly believable.
Unless they are checking receipts for proof of essential activity then how can you prove Joe Blogger wasnt shopping for non essentials when they caught it.
On top of that, throughout all the previous lockdowns not once have I read of a suggestion that the continued spread was from essential activity until now. It is clearly a contrived narrative again designed to suggest it would be spreading no matter how much harder or earlier they went despite the results from similarly high density populated areas interstate suggesting otherwise.
The only thing different between NSW and Victoria is that Victoria didnt have the luxury of prior example of how to handle it swiftly, they lost hundreds of lives to show the rest of us how NOT to do it.
They learnt, we learnt, NSW...
