There is no reason you can't keep a disease at a very low level (to the point any given person is unlikely to get the disease over their lifetime) via testing, contact tracing and quarantine. Iceland and South Korea both prove you can in fact.
- rootusrootus 7y agoIceland is tiny and it is a little early to proclaim SK an unqualified success. If the only way to keep the disease at a very low level is to have a new normal of strong quarantine indefinitely, then you are asking for something unrealistic. Even more so in western democracies where people are accustomed to a great deal of personal freedom.
