This article is disturbing to me. OK an opinion piece, but from the front lines of the fight against this virus and suggesting that we may have the strategy all wrong?

Is it a realistic option?

Even for NZ which went this way it's not over, the elimination strategy has caused a delay not a cure, there are already new cases in NZ and having just a few weeks "clean" has come at a huge domestic cost for them. For more than we are prepared to pay so far!

Some experts think there is no elimination strategy, much of what we are seeing is just the early stages of a change that lasts forever and there is no going back to the way things were. Thinking we can go back, using the old measures for what we want to achieve, perhaps just delays progress on developing the new normal.
