Yuyutsu,
Andrews is a Labor Premier & does what Labor Premiers do ! Nothing sinister about it just standard Labor practise.
However, you can't blame him for the virus show, that's just the pretend Victorians wilfully spreading it ! Nothing to do with Andrews !

I think it's important to wear masks when out shopping
or in public malls or areas, even though you keep your
distances, its still important not to catch someone else's
germs from coughs or sneezes. Wearing a mask might help
prevent you catching something you really don't want or need.

It's amazing how much more careful people are currently
being in Victoria. The seriousness of the situation has
finally hit home. And although finger-pointing at anyone
doesn't really help - at least it's made people realize
into taking the coronavirus problem much more seriously.

Hopefully things will improve as a result, and perhaps
other states can learn from the Victorian experience.

Hi Yuyutsu,

Fascinating hypothesis. Andrews is doing a lousy job, while Trumpf and the gaggle of US governors are doing a wonderful job, in spite of Victoria having a far better record of performance while he is premier than any of the US states.

Counter-intuition is always valid.

So if I run off a cliff and refuse to believe in gravity, I won't fall. In fact, if I think that anti-gravity is stronger than gravity, then I will actually float upwards. Gravity, pah !

Yep, can't deny the science.

Okay. Good to know.

Joe

Dear Joe,

«So if I run off a cliff and refuse to believe in gravity, I won't fall.»

Different laws apply to inert objects and to living beings.

Matter never rebels, but when humans (even animals) are treated badly, as if they were inert objects that have no feelings, they do.
Conversely, when humans are shown that those in charge genuinely care for them, they return in kind.

Dear Foxy,

Very nice, but why did Victorians have to wait this long? People in other states have been careful and recognised the seriousness of the situation since March, some even since February, voluntarily restricting their physical interactions earlier without having to wait for "authorities" to tell them to.

People in other states have been careful and recognised the seriousness of the situation since March,
Yuyutsu,
As you said, in other States. They're not Victorian, they have a different mentality !
From what I see, on admittedly questionable media & TV programming, Victorians seem to have a knack of being recalcitrant !

Dear Yuyutsu,

I didn't mean to suggest for one minute that Victorians
waited for so long to take action. They didn't as you
must know. I meant to say that they are taking things
even more seriously than previously. I did not express
myself well.. And as for our mentality being
different - that suggestion is probably correct. We are
more advanced in many ways. (smile).
