    Remember the panic attack we were asked to have last month about Iceland’s outbreak in a highly vaccinated country- looks like they got over it & life goes on. Sadly 1 person died. https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/www.news.com.au/world/coronavirus/global/iceland-deals-with-growing-delta-outbreak-as-high-vaccination-rates-stop-deaths/news-story/b970a814615715e573d67b3a1c1525f0%3famp …pic.twitter.com/y6CghGZghi

        There's been a number of these "Ooh but country xyz is going back into lockdown." And then they don't and nobody ever speaks of it again.

        The lie works well enough that people legitimately think all these countries ended up going back into lockdown. It serves the purpose.

        The recent months in Iceland have been a beautiful story of how the science/vaccines work. If anyone had a panic attack because of Iceland, they really have no clue... Let's be like Iceland :)

        They look pretty successful before the vaccines came along.

        Really need calm leadership to get to the vax targets and then open up. Panic and opening plan changes help no one and just creates more anxiety for kids - and adults!

        I never had a panic attack because I understand that vaccines have high effectiveness against hospitalisation & death. Once coverage is high, the number of cases becomes less important.

        But not in highly vaccinated Singapore, Israel (129 people died last week), Mongolia, Alberta where outbreaks have occurred in 190 schools, the UK, and more than half of US states. We need to keep our eyes wide open in the coming months. A Vaccines Plus strategy is essential.

        Alberta had Freedom Day- we aren’t. Mongolia used inactivated vaccines- we don’t. UK don’t wear masks & few restrictions- we do. US- a vaxx/NPi hotch potch. We’re more like San Fran. Israel- high density households & classrooms. Singapore ICU is less than Vic & few deaths.

        Did they reintroduce masking when cases started going up and a few other restrictions? I'm trying to remember what small steps it took for Iceland to gain back control.

        Introduced testing for all people arriving in Iceland from outside (previously vaccinated people were omitted from testing because they assumed the couldn’t be infected/transmit but probably imported many delta cases). So they stopped the importation of COVID.
