The latest scare campaign in Australia has had the desired impact, as pedestrian traffic flow in the CBD of Melbourne which was already low at roughly 30% of what it would have been pre-Covid, takes another dive. With the rush to antigen tests and the resulting ‘cases’ it’s now sitting lower than 20% of pre-Covid levels.

There’s a lot of investment in Melbourne. Who’s trying to steal it?

These counts should be around 3,500 at peak, not less than 800.
