Not my work but H/T to whomever put this together because it's spot-on.

Melbourne, Victoria, is Australia's hot spot for Covid19.
This accurate analysis of why this happened begins with:

"Thank you Melbourne for bringing on a Stage 4 lockdown! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

“Before we get too hung up on blaming the state or federal govt, for our COVID situation let’s review some facts :

1. We had to bring in mandatory quarantining in hotels, because we couldn’t trust people to stay home after returning from overseas.

2/8

2. We then had to bring in security, because we couldn’t trust people to stay in those hotels.

3. We then had to bring in ADF, because we couldn’t trust the security guards not to have sex with those in quarantine in the hotels.

3/8

4. We had to get police to door-knock and check up on people because we couldn't trust those who were meant to be self-isolating to actually stay at home.

4/8

5. We also had to have police and ADF reinforce the metropolitan Melbourne zone and state borders, because we can’t trust people to follow the restrictions.

6. We are now being asked to use masks, because we cannot trust people to social distance when they are in public.

7. Through it all, our supermarkets have had to introduce shopping restrictions because we couldn’t trust people to not to take more than what they needed.

6/8

So we can get as mad as we want at politicians & health officials for imposing restrictions, advising against groups, protests included. Essentially it’s the fault of selfish, short-sighted STUPIDITY of “I’ll do whatever I want or get offended” that we find ourselves here.

7/8

Too many people thinking of just themselves. Selfishness and lack of empathy seems to be as much of a disease as COVID itself, just got to find a vaccine for stupid as well as COVID..”
