So the Police guy is running SA now rather than the Premier on advice from the SA Chief Health officer.

Regardless of Who made the call for a lock down it was the Right call.

and yet they say in hindsight, it was the wrong call. go figure.

Wow - unbelievable - welcome to COVID Normal. Lies, knee jerk reaction, panic, and lots of disruption.

Bring on the vaccine quick.

There has to be consequences for the individual making a false statement to government officials. People have been incarcerated for lesser crimes than this.

It seems to me that the SA situation has actually been managed pretty well. Faced with an unknown amount of transmission they went for a rapid action to prevent further transmission. Since being able to get the facts around the transmission vectors with more certainty, the SA govt has started to wind back those hard measures and have admitted that they may have overreacted. At least they didn't drag the lockdown on for weeks when it wasn't necessary and have demonstrated a competent tracing system. Most importantly they have reacted to remove the restrictions as the threat recedes, something QLD and WA still have not managed to do months after the threat level has receded.

100% agree,
they have admitted the mistake and are making changes.
mistake isnt the right word. change in circumstances?

The story I read said the liar said he bought a pizza in a box, which could have meant it was carried on the surface of the box, which opened up all sorts of possibilities for how it was transported and that it was a particularly virulent strain. But if it was actually transmitted by people working together, that is a well-known route and didn't justify a lock down.

thats more or less what happened. it also impacted the incubation period from 1-2 days to 1-2 weeks (like normal)
