What reduction? The whole country moved to level 3 on October 6th with numbers on the rise. On the 6th we reported 424 new cases, there was no day during the level 3 restrictions that posted lower numbers. Over the next three weeks of level 3, daily numbers trebled.
I just think nphet need to be realistic about what is achievable given what's happening in Europe and that many people will travel home on holidays over Christmas anyways.
What I was saying is the best that can be achieved is 150-300 cases per day with the current restrictions by December 1 but even that is now looking ambitious, the Nphet target of below 100 cases per day is unattainable. I did not agree with going to level 5 but staying at level 3 and yes we would have a higher daily rate of maybe 500 cases per day. I do not think the enormous cost of going to level 5 with 150.000 extra unemployed and a cost of 1.5 billion euro extra on top of what we were already paying is justified. Very little attention is being payed to the cost of all this.
