I'd also like to talk about some good examples I've heard from businesses in relation to the Covid vaccination programme.
An employer asking their admin staff to help register their staff for immunisation if they wanted help. Actually including this in their work day.
An employer sending out an encouraging letter a while ago, saying they supported the programme and any employee attending the vaccination appointment could have a paid half day off for it.
An employer inviting their occupational health doctor in to answer questions for those in their workforce who are vaccine hesitant.
An employer sending out regular texts to remind employees what age group can register for vaccine now.
There are some businesses who are throwing their whole selves behind immunisation and I am so grateful to them.
You can see that facilitating people to attend their appointment is the bare minimum that should be done.
I'd actually love if some journalist would write about excellent examples like these and encourage people to tell their positive stories, it would inspire and motivate other businesses too.

What critical is how the case numbers relate to hospitalisations/mortality. We will know more in the coming weeks and be able to learn from our neighbours.
As numbers go up contact tracing will not be able to meet demand, there's always a ceiling to that capacity.
In fact though, when community transmission gets that high, containment measures like that are far less useful.
