    From this thread -

    "(C) With this insight we can see that a strong lockdown, combined with strong test-and-trace measures and quarantining of international arrivals, has the capability to not only control the epidemic, but eliminate the disease entirely, as has been done in New Zealand."

    From the very start elimination has been completely overlooked because the models used were based on flu pandemics and no one seeks to eraadicate flu.

    Both MERS and SERS were eliminated.

    If we don't look to eradicate this thing is just going to run and run.

    Can be done in the way that South Korea has shown but there has to be ultrarobust community testing and we still are nowhere near that despite the opportunity.
