Stage 3 in August is what seems to have triggered it. Whether Stage 3 in itself, or the perception it gave to people that things are OK now. Reposting the chart from a few pages earlier:...
I mean, we cannot know, I suspect cases would have dropped faster. They were still too high when we started opening.
The real questions for me are what are the priorities. I think safe school, medical appointments and holidays should have been the priorities.
Instead we opened up indoor restaurants, clubs, strip joints, and now casinos, and did virtually nothing to ensure school would be safe.
