Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the current "police state" facing Australia has led to depression, loneliness, suicide and unemployment which was caused "not because of the virus but because of the government's reaction". My Bolt said Prime Minister Scott Morrison's Thursday announcement, addressing when strict social distancing measures may be lifted in the country, didn't really answer "the real questions".
Speaking about the update in Canberra, he said restrictions would only be eased if Australia met three key conditions: increased testing, better contact tracing, and the ability to lock down localised areas in cases of outbreaks. "Is the prime minister serious?" Mr Bolt said. "We just had yet another day of fewer than 50 new coronavirus infections". "We had another day where the number of people who got better was much higher than number getting sick".
