Unfortunately, as hospital admissions and death rates follow on from infection in a 2 to 4 week cycle, and if the infection rate gets back to doubling every 3 or 4 days, by the time you see the effects, it’s too late...
It’s like only applying your brakes after you’ve hit someone, rather than when you saw them beginning to cross the road.
