    Reminder - as lockdowns are lifted, it is INEVITABLE that outbreaks will happen The key question is not whether there are any new COVID cases, but if we have used the last few months to prepare effectively so that we can contain these outbreaks before they spread

        It is extremely hard to predict what will happen in Australia, but I do think we are in arguably the best position in the world right now in terms of disease control and long-term outlook

        How do you conclude that “asymptomatic ppl really don’t spread COVID” from a case study *of a single person*? Is that the best evidence you’ve got, or did you just throw up the first hit from google that confirmed your biases? And how do you conclude it shouldn’t be hard?

        Well it could be the question of whether there are new outbreaks occurring as eradication was an option we could have chosen to pursue.

        Have some governnents in the US used this time for that? Here in MO and then STL they lifted restrictions while daily cases were slowly decreasing -during lockdown- and now you can see crowded restaurants or know abt parties in pools in MO. But I heard nothing about preparednesspic.twitter.com/mbDhEcWTOq

        My ID consultant boss assured us there will be a second wave. He’s been correct so far about everything since he predicted we’d soon be locking down and social distancing in early Feb 😑
