A sensible leader would:

✅reattempt local elimination now vaccination rates are high. (the reduction in transmission afforded by vaccination should assist contact tracing).

Add

✅community medical mask/respirator use
✅emphasize ventilation at the daily presser.

#auspol

✅implement community home rapid antigen testing.

✅ use mass pooled testing

✅ use HEPA filters in apartment outbreaks and advise people to use HEPA when isolating.

✅ commence work on sourcing the equipment required to ensure schools have maximum airborne disease mitigation aiming for a solid start in 2022.

✅ procure vaccines for children and ensure all sections of the community have high vaccination rates.

✅ Draft business COVID safety plans based on airborne disease control.

✅ Recognise that some businesses will require ongoing support (like gyms) until elimination is achieved.

✅ Work closely with other governments to reach agreements on travel bubbles and green lanes.

✅ Build large capacity airgapped quarantine for travellers to isolate if arriving from countries that have strains that transmit efficiently despite vaccination (all delta strains at this time but this will change with vaccine updates).

✅Share vaccines, research and technology when able to assist other countries to reduce transmission.

Now all we have to do is find a sensible leader. Does anyone know anyone?
