Is Denmark the first Western country to go for #COVIDzero after a huge wave? Maybe. Unlike Canada, they know that loosening restrictions now is ill-advised. Despite the numbers being “low”, they’re watching the pandemic within the pandemic grow bc of their sequencing capacity.
They actually would need to do even more to have a chance of avoiding the #variantwave. So with our early reopening plans and circulating variants, are we sealing our fates for a third wave in 1-2 months? The odds are not in our favor, that’s for sure. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2021/02/danish-scientists-see-tough-times-ahead-they-watch-more-contagious-covid-19-virus-surge
Re-sharing this modeling by @CarolineColijn (who holds a Canada 150 research chair) because the covid-6 are gambling with our safety (again) and we all have a lot to lose if they’re wrong (again).
