Lockdowns where you can get your nails done and hair cut, is hardly a lockdown IMHO, its more like a cheap effort that inevitably got a cheap result. Hard work always pays off, there are no shortcuts
The harshness of Melbourne's (and Australia's) original lockdown had no bearing on the "August" outbreak.... it was not due to a resurgence of remaining community COVID....
The "second wave" in Melbourne was simply due to COVID leaking out from the MIQs (since the end of May) and not being detected for 2 months....
