    Prof. Devi Sridhar Retweeted Aris Katzourakis

    Exactly!! When we talk about elimination or Zero COVID, it’s akin to low endemicity. Yes the virus is ‘endemic’ (a vague term) but keep #s very low so economy, society & public health can run. Vaccines & test/trace/isolate can do much of the work here.https://twitter.com/ArisKatzourakis/status/1359863869041213441 …

    Prof. Devi Sridhar added,

    Aris Katzourakis @ArisKatzourakis
    Low endemicity is in many ways, actually akin to a policy of elimination. Keeping numbers low enough that serious disease never occurs, would be a fantastic outcome, and in some ways indistinguishable from elimination. A high endemicity? Not so much. 6/n

        That is more realistic than trying to get to the (temporary) total suppression modal in NZ and yes Vaccines are key as well as Test and Trace .

        This would be feasible if vaccines engendered sterilizing immunity. Evidence is growing that instead they confer broad but partial immunity against various strains, attenuating Covid-19 to a milder disease. How would you TTI all the vaccinated people? And for what purpose?

        What is needed to achieve and maintain this @devisridhar? Full vaccination? Border control? Test - trace - isolate? All of the above needed together? Prolonged border restrictions will be the hardest challenge. It is essential now, but for how long? We need an honest estimate.

        If that's what you mean, then why do you talk about a) Zero COVID or b) Australia and New Zealand, where the aim has been explicitly *zero* COVID, and they really mean zero?

        I'd say that we need to supoort test/trace/isolate strategies in poorer countries but even developed ones aren't doing a good job 😩.

        Why are NZ and Australia aiming for this? Both islands that are further along the pathway than UK. Why are we having so many problems?
