CV and mad panic behaviour

[mateinone]

I am of the belief there will be a next time too by the way.  It will likely happen a lot later than anyone is expecting, when COVID is a distant memory, but FLU season comes around every year, and COVID season is likely to come with it.

I am also, but I think with our geographical advantages afforded us, that we should be able to have some well published trigger points that the community is aware of and can prepare for and it should have a very high chance of not requiring a full lockdown again. Data should have multiple trigger points and there should be potentially actions per LGA etc, but this should all be able to be mapped out.

But they cannot use 14 day averages for this, that is absolutely certain.
In fact I would have 1, 3, 5 & 7 day triggers and if any of these are met, they results in different levels of actions.
The first levels of restrictions can be as simple as wearing masks outside your home and restricting numbers in buildings.
And they can get much tighter, but that is just details.
