Ok. One more of my last breath to explain power of eliminations in this case.
You cannot eliminate the virus, we agree?
We can eliminate the spread by sector by sector.
1. Close the border. By closing the border ban all international and State flights enter the country.
as such we have eliminate one sector.
2. From here we can assess the spread is inside local community if there is one person was infected. With contact tracing we can assess who he has infected in workplace, home or in public places. Or where he got it from?
Upon checking it was found no one was infected through him. all good the power of elimination ends here on this person.
and say there was an infected person and he went to the city and infected 2 persons, for example. The 1 people live in the south side and infected 2 more persons.... the other person live in the east and infected 5 people...
By using contact tracing program is similar to using power of eliminatioq. Find these infected people to eliminate their spreads...
By doing so it bring down the spread to zero sum. All spread is eliminated... happy like Larry...
So the power of elimination is to stop the spread but not the virus...
Yes, the virus cannot be eliminated becos some people still carry the virus with them and is like a time bomb waiting to explode at anytime.
Hope this helps. Psst . ..... if you like my bullshit click the like button...
NZ and OZ will never eliminate the virus. All they have done is postpone it. As you can see vaccines don't stop infections and neither do they stop the spread. How long can OZ remain shut off from the rest of the world? 5 years? 10?
Has any country ever eliminated influenza? If the answer is "no" then what makes you think that eliminating covid is achievable?
