Their lockdowns haven't worked because they have not been anywhere near strict enough. As a Melburnian, looking at Sydney, I can't believe they call that a lockdown. Even right now with 200± cases daily, only 8 LGAs are in lockdown and even they are nowhere as strict as what we experienced in Melbourne. The rest of Sydney can only be described at what we here call Stage 2 restrictions. We learnt this the hard way in Victoria last year, you need to go early, and you need to go hard. Since then we have managed to stamp out the virus using that strategy everytime it has entered our state. I just don't understand why the NSW government is reluctant to accept lessons from Victoria's experience in 2020.
