I have worrying news from Australia, which you may already know if you have been following.
TTI alone used to work to shut down clusters. Now a moderately tight lockdown and TTI together does not work to stop the outbreak. Has lead to a plateau of sorts instead.

If we make a vaccine resistant strain that is as fast as delta and even less responsive to vaccines… it may become very difficult to stop outbreaks even with mitigations in place. Countries that can’t “lockdown” very strictly may be very hard hit.
For some countries “lockdown” means crops fail and famine…
It is VITALLY important that we urgently reduce transmission… NOW!

The “lockdown” was thought by some to be loose because essential retail was not defined, however movement and economic activity was still slowed…
This week non essential retail is closed, and construction work stopped. We hope it will be effective.

Other important things to note: Low vaccination rates. Almost no work done in ventilation, filtration.
Hmmm, we have also started recommending outdoor masks when in queues or shopping areas (around people)… that is interesting. I wonder if we have had transmissions in these settings?
