I'm currently in Melbourne. It's virtually under martial law now. Just one more rise in the level, then Melbourne is at a worse state than Greece was between 1967 to 1974. At this rate, under the State of Emergency, the citizens have no rights, no say in anything, do not have freedom of movement, and there is even a curfew after 8pm. The streets are empty apart from the very occasional car, and many police patrols.
We got stopped after 10pm. All vehicles get stopped which are seen by a police patrol. The police no longer require any warrant to search your vehicle or house. We were stopped and were asked what we were doing. We told them, gave them some documentation to verify our business and the police said good evening and let us go,
If we are comparing COVID numbers, Cyprus is today much worse in Melbourne and yet Cyprus has no lock down, Melbourne does and it's brutally tough.
So comparing Sweden let's say to Cyprus or Australia isn't an apples with apples. Sweden, for instance has more COVID Deaths, plus more COVID cases. But Melbournes unemployed has increased by well over 500,000 people. there is a social impact. people unable to pay their bills, their mortgages, and facing an uncertain future.
Then the mental health aspect. Whilst Melbourne had 24 COVID Deaths yesterday, all of them were over 70s.
What the authorities are not saying is how many suicides. People in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s with wives, children and so on. A high school child, aged 14, committed suicide as well, just from all the stress at school, and at home due to COVID with parents worried about putting food on the table.
In this regard, Sweden IS NOT doing worse than Australia which probably is on the top 3 to 4 nations in the world with regard to COVID.
Plus there is the economic aspect.
Cyprus, if it was serious, would be in a worse lock down than Melbourne because the COVID cases and numbers in Cyprus and Greece are much worse than in Melbourne which is now headed in the correct direction. But I do not wish that upon Cypriots. believe me, you do not want to head down Melbourne's path. I would suggest looking at Sweden very carefully and copying their model and going down that road.
COVID will NEVER be eliminated unless there is a vaccine and there may never be a vaccine that works.
Right now, the police in Melbourne, and the Government have more power than any dictator around the world.
Believe me, Sweden right now is heralded as having got the balance right, even in Australia. I think that is correct too.

Why can’t Victoria state follow the same rules as the rest of the states in Australia?
In whole of Europe and most parts of the world there are no lockdowns despite increased in new cases and death numbers, however, there are some safety measures imposed in the areas of social distancing, wearing of masks and self quarantine if traveled to certain countries or exposed to someone who has Covid virus. Sweden is not the only “free” country at the moment. I do think Melbourne has gone to the very extreme measures at the moment as it is not necessary to that extent.
