7. Using lockdowns when needed to slow down spread of virus & using this time to massively increase key public health infrastructure & to do more research. Lockdowns expensive & costly way of buying time -> used as sparingly as possible.
All of those to buy time for an informed long-term policy choice of either: elimination, effective vaccine/therapeutic or some kind of controlled build up of natural immunity. Too many unknowns still on virus & disease. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/apr/22/flattening-curve-new-zealand-coronavirus">https://www.theguardian.com/commentis...
