(disclosure: I, others have shared our ideas with them)
So let's go through these a bit
1. Surveillance means more waste water, more sequencing, etc.
2. Vaccinations:
a. Keep engaging more eligible folks to get vaccinated
b. Work on getting kids <5 vaxxed when data is here
c. Work on new generation of vaccines
4/n
3. Testing:
Critical we ensure rapid tests continue to be widely available and cheap.
Stockpiling tests during lulls (when they are not in hot demand) is key
4. Improving ventilation/filtration of indoor spaces
This is widely doable with a concerted strategy
5/n
5. Masking
Most places have removed mandatory masking and I think that is reasonable during lulls like current one
But high quality masks should still be ubiquitous, accessible, inexpensive
And people who want to wear one should be supported
