  • Going Viral: Why Victoria needs a stage 4 lockdown ASAP
    In this Episode:
    It’s not possible to co-exist with the virus….we came out of lockdown too early and too hard
    Suppression won’t work- it’s elimination or nothing
    Elimination is entirely achievable, and it’s never too late to aim for it
    We need to de-politicise and de-popularise the management of the COVID-19 crisis
