> health authorities, at least in the US, have never been clear on the exit criteria for ending interventions "When we are confident we are not hours away from a nationwide medical emergency" is not easy to communicate. I'm sure if they literally said that, all the people complaining they have no clear exit criteria would loudly complain it is not clear; what, of course it isn't. If people knew all the details about how the pandemic will behave, they would have told you. |

Huh? We've basically never been "hours away" from any sort of national emergency at any time during this pandemic, and that sort of unwarranted catastrophizing is what frustrates so many people.
Heck, my city, like many, does have easily understood, rational criteria for additional recommended interventions based on hospital intake rates. My only objection is that our local authorities have ignored their own criteria frequently by raising a stage level prematurely or by keeping at a high stage weeks and months after hospitalization rates have gone down.
