Well I know comparison to overseas jurisdictions is problematic, but there are some countries with high vaccination rates and mask wearing and social distancing. - not sure whether they have an on/off system. A poster on one of these threads was saying Italy used a 0.3 hospitalisation/ICU factor (not sure the actual calculation) for an on/off system - in comparison Sydney is 0.9 at the moment.

Precisely.
The easing of restrictions should never be a case of all or none - eg keep masks for a bit on buses and where it’s crowded, social distancing and restrictions on numbers but all we hear is black or white.
Prof Spurrier will always get many things right because she acts extremely cautiously so it gets captured. Trouble is a lot of other things get captured that shouldnt with such an approach. Plus she comes out with some extraordinary statements. Obviously ‘don’t touch that ball’ and then followed up with ‘hot sweaty bodies’. Yesterday she suggested we should start to like wearing masks because there were some very attractive ones to wear. Face palm.
Delta is a game changer.....the SA CHO will get more right if the Infinity variant ever pokes its head out.
Agree but it makes for stressful living just waiting for the first case because experience suggests that it could be for the long haul this time.
Given NZ wants zero, they should be going swift and severe and then find out if its Delta.
Funny that.
I believe its already their stated policy that the entire country goes into stage 4 for a single case of delta. At least a kiwi colleague told me that.
but my point was they should go severe while trying to find out if its Delta - the chances of it being Delta have to be more than 60%.....
There was school playground transmission prior to the last lockdown...I remember Martin Foley talking about it in a press conference.
Not sure I really buy that age has much to do with it. I am sure some would have children in their teenage years and in to the 20s and 30s. But maybe in their dogged determination of zero COVID, they have really lost sight of the objective of the mission they set out to achieve in March 2020.
