Seventh Victorian dies as state records another rise in community transmissions

It is a disgrace coming from the mouth of the Victorian Chief Health Officer that “It’s relatively better than NSW”.
The stubbornness and stupidity of the PM, Premiers, CMO, and CHOs for their reluctance to bring in tougher measures basically writing death warrants from many innocent people in the community.
It is just simple mathematics that the sooner the states are locked down, the less infected people will roam the streets, including those arrogant, irresponsible people returned from Aspen ski lodge, to infect others.
Earlier on, the medical officers were so proud to imply that person-to-person transmission was a no-brainer. This kind of complacent mentality is the root cause for what is happening now.
It is also commonsense that whether to lock down earlier or later would still have big negative impact on the economy; it is a matter of when money is needed to keep business in hibernation and for people in dole queue. The less number get infected, the smaller the economic pain.
Just look at Italy, Spain, UK, and US which are so prominent in the media. Who can they blame now since international travel are stopped? The rising numbers are caused by community transmissions NOT imported cases.
The flattening of the curve is just a consolation for the time being. Unfortunately, more pain is still on the way!
Thank you for reading.
