OK,
The last consideration I am aware of, involving the spike in Melbourne, is that people think the tens of thousands, who marched in the BLM protests, encourage the thinking:
If *they* can break social distancing rulz, then bugger the rules!
Understandable, but irresponsible.

It didn't help, with regards to the protests, that the state government had jumped in early on with the pandemic with harder rules than other states, then gave tacit approval for the protests by not fining those who attended, whereas they were happy to fine people for any other action during that time.
