New Zealand was told it was impossible. But they've done it & can have mass gatherings/sports/festivals resume. Now other countries might start looking at elimination again within their borders. People will start asking their governments- why not?

Over 1,000 academics and scientists have signed an open letter calling on the Government to revisit its stance on lockdown - restrictions should continue until the virus has been eliminated entirely, they say, as living alongside it means constraining the economy for longer
