Also, after the first Victorian attempt to control CV19 through lockdown succeeded and lockdown was raised, there was a significant quarantine breach, after which infections ran out of control. This evidence completely invalidates the premise of your first point regarding r0.

Had people actually observed the restrictions, the Victorian economy would be fully open, like New Zealand is now.

You do realize that it's exactly the opposite right?

If asymptomatic r0 is high a quarantine without a lock down is pointless. If it's low no lock down is required and a quarantine is enough?

We had a lockdown and a quarantine. The quarantine breach occurred after lockdown had reduced transmission. We are now again in stage 4 lockdowns with curfews and quarantine and the numbers are falling again.

But you really don’t seem particularly interested in facts.
