    6-7 times the population of Victoria, so if you think Victoria’s doing so well to have a similar daily death toll you need to be told that to do so well Victoria would need more like only 1.7 deaths per day.

    Further, NSW exceeds Victoria’s population, if Victorians were handling this well then it would stand to reason that NSW would be looking worse, in fact NSW would be around about 1.5 the death rate of Victoria, instead we see Victoria at TEN TIMES the NSW death count, a whole order of magnitude in the wrong direction.

    Eh...I never said Victoria was doing better than these European countries...I was suggesting the exact opposite: they have more cases but comparable deaths. That suggests to me their authorities are doing something right that ours are not.

    And please explain what it is exactly about Victorians as opposed to others that makes them the reason why this virus is spreading.

    Do you genuinely believe people in NSW or Queensland are more compliant with rules?
