People might see my comment as sadistic or whatever, but Victorian authorities lifted 5.0 too early.
Delta is a game changer.
No not sadistic at all. I think the evidence is now quite clear that if they had of stayed in lockdown for say another fortnight that the outbreak would have either been quenched, or greatly minimised.
The missing link from the Traffic Controller and/or his partner to the Al Taqwa Teacher and her partner (or possibly to the parents as they may have been infected first) may never be known. But as fate would have it they still went to work (Al Taqwa is very large), socialised and played football while symptomatic as they chose to not get tested till over a week too late and the lack of restrictions by the time that the teacher returned her positive test meant that thousands had already been potentially been exposed and may already infected as many Covid generations had past.
The chains stemming from the partner at that football game and the shopping centre where the partner worked may well have been the most damaging, as while Al Taqwa was large those associated with it have been very compliant.
The missing link will probably never be found as the lateness of the positive tests probably will mean that they had recovered before the teachers was found to be positive. And that link may have sired others besides the teacher and her family.
