The 'pain and suffering' of Melbourne's 111 day lockdown has been revealed

People across the globe have finally got a glimpse into the tears and disaster Melbourne’s record-breaking lockdown caused thousands of its citizens.

Sky News host Chris Smith said throughout the pandemic it has been easy to see the dire health damage suffered by hundreds-of-thousands throughout the globe.

“What can't be filmed so easily is the pain, suffering and deaths, attributed to the economic damage wrecked by lockdowns and border closures,” he said.

On Wednesday, The Herald Sun released a list of 1384 businesses which collapsed during Victoria’s harsh lockdowns.

“Today, you could actually see a glimpse of what that side of the pandemic is like, what disaster it has created,” Mr Smith said.

“On and on it goes. Each and every one of these companies has a tragic, heartbreaking story to tell”.

Despite the recently released data illustrating the severe effects of such policies, the Victorian premier still has his state’s borders up to parts of Sydney even as these zones only have “infinitesimal COVID cases,” according to Mr Smith.

“We don't have a COVID emergency, not anymore. We have an economic emergency, where jobs, wages and business have all been trashed.”
