Whilst the states are bearing the brunt of a medical emergency, they operate the hospitals and these facilities and staff are being smashed. Hence many of the states have said enough is enough! We’re implementing lockdowns, shops, schools, sports everything non essential.
This major disconnect between the two became evident on Sunday afternoon when ScoMo was caught on the back foot by Vic and NSW decisions.
ScoMo’s response to the states, a half hearted lockdown and a passing shot at the states, basically if the states decided to implement a lockdown they do so at their own risk and they will be contributing to the huge economic hit to Australia, and btw the increase in active cases is because people aren’t succinctly obeying our social distancing rules.
Trying to figure out this mess, leads me to conclude that the feds position is that not enough people have died to warrant a national shutdown.

I get the feeling that whilst Scomo is obviously concerned about us, he's equally in survival mode of his own position and is now pointing to the populations actions to justify any further action.
We made him do it.
