There is an ongoing debate in this country and I do not know whether Dr. Nabarro is aware of it. To contextualise it, in essence our strategy is to suppress the virus and some have argued that because we are part of an island nation it is possible for countries such as ours, New Zealand, Greece and other island nations to eliminate the virus. Does Dr. Nabarro think a strategy of suppressing the virus, as we are currently employing, is sufficient? Does he think the approach leaves vulnerabilities and would these be addressed by a more comprehensive elimination strategy?
