Exactly. It's one of the points I've been attempting to make... expecting the general public to understand the quarantine benefits and rules is for too many nigh on impossible. They will just not co-operate for a variety of reasons. And in a city of 4+ million people that is dynamite.
Oh, and I get your frustration but getting angry at the difficult ones and giving them one to go on with only plays right into their hands...
Then there are the media mixed messages/opinions... the bloke across the road from us turned up late last week trying to stay in his holiday home once the lockdown was in force... lasted one day before the constabulary sent him packing. I had a brief chat with him (good bloke, except for this episode... Aussie, 60s) and he started quoting Bolt and what he wrote as his excuse for coming to his holiday home... that was my cue to politely remember that Mrs Baggers needed some help!
But she did make the call and it wasn't popular. She had plenty of opposition but had the guts to enforce it...
Youre a good man Baggers, would have been on like Donkey Kong if that was me.
If our population was similar to NZ's, I reckon we would have made the same call here in Oz, unpopular or not. The difficulty in handling this horrible problem is not lost me one bit, I just reckon a couple of key decisions here and there have gone the wrong way and could have made a difference now. Whether or not it costs Comrade Dan votes and a job remains to be seen.
