We've known for some time that COVID-19 is unlikely to be eradicated. This means that the end-goal for any zero-COVID nation should be extremely high rates of vaccination, not permanent eliminationhttps://gidmk.medium.com/the-end-of-the-covid-19-pandemic-b03ac751baa1 …

Still, let’s say we vaccinated 100% of the pop: with a fair % of breakthroughs still correlated (yes to a way better ratio) to hospitalizations, ICU admissions deaths, high levels of transmission/incidence are still enough to strain any health care system.

We shouldn’t take transmission/high incidence out of the equation.

Serious question, though -- that article says there's 7 ICU patients in the main hospital. How does that compare to the kind of ICU strain we've seen in the US or Russia (the two places I regularly read news about)? Just to get some perspective on what "strain" means here
-
They have one hospital and limited staff/beds. Yes, it’s a tiny island. But Israel is projecting to be strained with their ICU sometimes in September. Let’s see what happens in Canada as we are entering our 4th wave (high vax uptake but limited hosp capacity).
