I don't disagree - but the tolerance for different levels of virus in the community is clearly different for different states. I'd daresay NSW at one end of the spectrum and WA at the other. NSW has offset its position for "keeping businesses and borders open" with tighter restrictions on the operation of such businesses. There's a lot of press about the positive economic impacts of "keeping businesses and borders open" but no where near as much commentary on the negative economic impacts of those tighter restrictions. There's no free lunch there.
As an example, both my kids are into their sport. Earlier this month my 13 yr old daughter participated in the largest community sporting event held in Australia since the start of COVID. It was held in regional Qld and attracted over 10,000 people, including over 2,000 participants, under a detailed COVID-Safe plan. NSW Health has declared that the equivalent event in NSW cannot be held in 2020 and it is unlikely to be held in 2021, given the levels of virus in the community. You can't put a price on that. Except, of course, you can - the regional council where the event was held made a big announcement about the fact that this event brought in approx $8.5m to the community.
My 15 yr old son has competed internationally in his chosen sport. Whilst obviously he's not doing that now, he has competed at various competitions across the state over the past couple of months. The equivalent competitions in NSW aren't happening, again because NSW Health have determined that they can't be held safely with the current levels of virus in the community. The NSW governing body for his sport is losing money hand over fist and may not survive. No such worries for the Qld governing body.
From a personal perspective, I would expect Vic's tolerance for an underlying level of virus in the community to be very, very low, but NSW maybe not. If virus levels are driven to effectively zero, then that's fine. That means NSW and Vic are heading towards where every other state is - but the underlying implication in Lynda's comment was that others may need to adapt as borders open. I don't think that's the only solution, nor quite frankly, the right solution.
