"&lt;p&gt;Victoria&amp;apos;s Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton has likened the curfew and stage 4 restrictions to &amp;quot;shock and awe&amp;quot; tactics, a phrase used during the US invasion of Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I think everyone can see how serious this is,&amp;quot; Prof Sutton said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;A state of disaster that&amp;apos;s being declared; there&amp;apos;s a curfew in place; significant changes in education and significant changes in workplaces tomorrow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;In part, there&amp;apos;s shock and awe here for people to genuinely understand that it&amp;apos;s a super challenging phase that we&amp;apos;re in.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prof Sutton said people had experienced &amp;quot;fatigue&amp;quot; and were complacent about socially distancing and other actions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I think the message is loud and clear now.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;"
