Despite the partisan hashtags populating Twitter, most of the people I know were simply worried for Andrews’ health and well-being — along with the health and well-being of our other fellow Victorians. If this has been a Herculean act of stamina, it has also been an impressive — and sometimes frustrating — political performance. Andrews may stay for every question, but he certainly does not give answers beyond his own predetermined message: Stay the course; get tested; this is hard; it is also neccessary. I feel I know Andrews as well as I’ve ever known any politician in my lifetime. I’ve certainly spent more (virtual) time with him.
