I like how all you Mainlanders have completely forgotten Tasmania. We are essentially virus free and have been for a couple of months, thanks to a lockdown policy. Our premier, aided by geography, has done an excellent job at elimination and took swift and decisive action when it was needed and continues to take a safe approach.
It is only time though until it reappears as due to our reliance on vehicle driven freight, some victorian/nsw truck driver will bring it across on the Spirit, spread it to the everyone on the boat then the local truck stop/cafe/pub and Tassie will kick off just like the other states.
I'm just hoping we stay Covid free for long enough so I can get a Derby and St Helens trip or two in. Or by some miracle we may actually never see it gain a foothold in the state again but that would require ongoing restrictions every time there is a flare up. Tasmania's would be more inclined to support that given how quickly we stamped it out, allowing us to regain pretty much near total freedom again.
Early on experts warned that the initial restrictions had to get it right as if it failed, attempting a second lock down would be almost impossible. Of course governments didnt listen and its incredibly disturbing reading that Gladys is entertaining the thought of going full US and not bothering to even attempt restrictions a second time around, despite the fact NSW is really only 10-14 days away from seeing hundreds of cases per day just like Victoria
