“The two biggest benefits of pursuing an elimination strategy is that you have few cases and few deaths and you can get business back up and running. The alternative was that we are stuck with the virus and stuck between mitigation and suppression. Suppression is pretty grim.”

We are now in that mitigation / suppression place.

IMHO, what SA got wrong wasnt the speed or the timing of their lockdown, but the silly unwanted extra rules - the little power trip these simpletons are on
