COVID - CRISIS MANAGEMENT Ain't no rocket science required, Bro ...
STAGE 1: ISOLATE PREVENT INTRODUCTION
UTILISE GEOGRAPHIC ISOLATION AND YOUR SINGLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT GATEWAY TO FULLEST ADVANTAGE
- Close borders with urgency (or, if you were too slow in closing border (as we were), do the expensive lock-down to remove any existing infections that preceded closing)
- Establish a mandatory tracking app system with urgency- it is a low imposition measure and educates population for future stages
- Establish a mandatory masking requirement with urgency - it is a low imposition measure and educates population for future stages

STAGE 2: MANAGE MANAGE BORDER; VACCINATE RAPIDLY
MANAGE AND PROTECT YOUR CITIZENS AND PREPARE FOR STAGE 3
- Manage border (ports, airports, MIQ) to prevent (re-) introduction
- Vaccinate AS MUCH OF POPULATION as possible - with roll-out priority from high risk to low risk groups (make as incentivised as possible within same community protection/personal choice logic as conscription and conscientious objection equivalence - poll ALL population so either recorded as vaccinated or actively decided non-vaxxer [with vaccination always available] - once all individals' decisions known - then into re-engagement stage)
- Massively increase respiratory medical resource capacity in anticipation of stage 3
- Increase testing capacity with rapid low-imposition testing (saliva etc.)
- Continue mandatory tracking app system
- Continue mandatory masking

STAGE 3: RE-ENGAGE ONCE VACCINATION PENETRATION & MEDICAL RESOURCES PERMIT
MANAGE CONTINUING ENDEMIC NATURE OF VIRUS
- Decide and prepare for continuing vaccination program (multiple, varied vaccination technology? booster?) and arrange supply
- Vaccination credentials or 'passport' - no different to historical yellow fever vaccination certificate for travel to Africa etc., or a driver's licence verifying that you can operate with some degree of safety with respect to others. Can't drive without a licence due to negative societal consequence, equally can't go to public mass events without a vaccination certificate. Legislate now to ensure legality on introduction both domestically and internationally.
- Continue increasing respiratory medical resource capacity as required
