That a single person, whether clinically ill or asymptomatic but contagious, will potentially be able to reignite an outbreak in the next several months is a real concern. As has been shown it only takes one to unleash Covid. I have no suggestion on how to navigate this difficult fact once we are over the worst of the cases.
I do hope that the decision makers bring a wide number of people from multiple areas of expertise to share their thoughts and come to some consensus. We will only know if they loosen the restrictions too soon as we will see new outbreaks. We will not know if they got it right or waited longer than needed.
We are still taking off our shoes because of one person in 2001who failed in his attempt to blow up a jet with a shoe bomb. If that one incident has altered our life for almost 20 years with no repeated attempt, it is possible that in 2040 we still will be subjected to some virus screen to travel.
