As for myself, currently living downunder, this plan makes total sense. It has been widely proven that the “prophylactic measures” -including strict lockdowns, masks and effective tracing- have been successful in Australia. There was major backlash when certain measures were put in effect 2 months ago during a Melbourne outbreak which saw many infections and several weeks of daily deaths. Today: zero active cases in entire Victoria. The few Covid cases that exist in Australia are mainly found in people arriving from overseas during their mandatory 14 day quarantine.
