When it was clear that the daily new COVID cases in Victoria had peaked, there was hope and speculation that the numbers would drop off quickly like what happened in NSW.

But sadly, we're still getting about more than a thousand new cases a day and it's starting to level off at that figure.

NSW has levelled off too lately, but at a much lower level of only a couple of hundred a day.

So what could be going on and why aren't Victoria's numbers falling faster? And does it matter?

Also on today's show:

* Could anti-virals cause unvaccinated people to double down on not being vaccinated?

* If you are due for a booster in the middle of the summer, might it be much better to wait until April/May and have the next shot when it starts to get colder?

* Does Norman hate South Australia?
