AUSTRALIAN COVID MITIGATION STATUS NOW
Based on restriction level nationally and Reff.
Essentially in most states there are very little social distancing and viral transmission mitigations , and none are now mandatory. Federal Government has chosen to LET IT RIP as as NSW Government and most others under pressure from Federal Government and powerful industry lobby groups ( political donners to LibNats ) and this Saturday is a full federal election so for obvious political reasons on the part of the current Scott Morrison lead Federal Goverment .
AUSTRALIAN COVID MITIGATION STATUS ESTIMATE BASED ON Reff
Australia needs to pivot immediately to mitigate the spread of the new hypertransmissible Omicon variants
BA.2
BA.2.12.1
BA.4
BA.5

all of which are now in local circulations in ALL states.
High vaxx uptake is only helping people who contract Omicron out of hospital and alive , however the newer stains of Omicron have evolved to escape natural and vaxx produced immunity.
ZeroCovid may no longer be achieveable for these variants.
However very low close to ZeroCovid ( 5-10 cases / million / day ) is achieveable but will require the states and Australia to take short term economic hit as it's very clear LETTING IT RIP is a desaster , as are removal of
> MASK MANDATES ( indoors & OUTDOORS ) for ALL , need to upgrade emass from cloth masks to at least high qual surgical masks (min) or N95 mask ( best ) , enforced by State police forces
> DENSITY LIMITS enforced by State police forces
> MANDATORY (QR or manual photo / licence) CHECKINS ( to permit effective timely contact tracing )
> EXPOSURE VENUE ALERTS
> LONGER SELF ISO FOR THOSE WHO ARE CLOSE CONTACTS or test positive by either PCR or RAT ( back to at least 14 days ) enforced by State police forces
> STRICTER VAXX STATUS AND NEG TEST STATUS FOR ALL LOCAL AND INTERSTATE AND ESPECIALLY INTL AIRTRAVELLERS ( ie BOOSTERED w/in 4 weeks of departure , negative covidTEST not more than 2 prior to departure , and on arrival ( while at customs , negative ==> free to enter country (mandate covid testing by RAT every other day with mandatory RAT reporting by phone or online ) , positive ==> direct to USER PAYS MANDATORY Q/TINE til 2 consecutive -ve tests are recorded or for a 14 days minimum OR visa cancelled and ejection from Australia ( as a option offered ).
> return to remote ( at home ) schooling for all school age children, college and uni students
> return to working from home ( where this is possible )
Pivot needs to be to a nation wide ENHANCED HARDENED STAGE 3 HARD LOCKDOWN at a minimum for at least 4 weeks .
Because it's not acceptable to allow a supertransmissible ( Ro > 20 ) airborn pandemic virus which is SEVERE and DEADLY to RIP uncontrolled by any effective non-pharma mitigations in the Australian community resulting
.... 50 deaths / day
.... over 50k new KNOWN cases / day
.... overwhelmed hospitals
.... severe levels of absenteeism because people are contracting Omicron and are obligated to isolate at home
.... critical crisis levels of Omicron w/in residential aged care.
