Easy for an academic who can work from home to say. Tell it to a small business owner trying to stay afloat for themselves, their family and their staff.

True. It’s a very painful time. I give advice as an epidemiologist; governments balance all the issues and make the final decisions. My workload has gone up though- many extra hours and late nights at my desk.

The group of 8 advised the #Morrison gov that with further #lockdownextension #covid19australia could have been eliminated. Because he decided on suppression & wanted us to get out from under the doona in May, we now have a #SecondWave of #COVID19Vic! #auspol
