What does post peak look like?

9. If we end lockdown what do we look for

Would we need to have enough ongoing testing to detect that lockdown should happen again? Should we lock down again if other communities see infection or hospitalization rates increase?

I’m not in a huge rush to get back out although it would be nice. I’m actually more interested in whether we have the right preparations like tests available when controls start to be lifted. Seems like there is a lot to do now even if that doesn’t happen for say 8 weeks.

My ulterior motive is counter acting the impression that reaching peak means it’s safer.
