Covid-Zero is a strategy to impose a range of restrictions including strict lockdowns and rigorous testing and tracing to drive transmission of Covid-19 to zero. Several organizations have been set up to promote this strategy to end the coronavirus around the world.

It has had remarkable success in a number of countries, such as Australia, Vietnam, Taiwan and New Zealand.
Get Real Canada, Get to Zero
However, Australia’s success with Covid-Zero seems to have run into a roadblock. It seems like the Delta variant spreads too quickly for this strategy to continue working. Who would have predicted this a few months ago?

Many countries in Asia who have also done really well keeping Covid cases low are running into the same turn of events.

I was fascinated with mathematics at an early age. In university I became more interested in how people think and began graduate work in psychology. The possibilities of using computers to try to understand the brain by simulating learning and thinking became an exciting idea and I completed a Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence in Computer Science.
My interest in doing research shifted to an interest in building systems. I worked for 40+ years in the computer field, on large mainframe computers, then personal computers, doing software development for academic and scientific research, business and financial applications, data networks, hardware products and the Internet.
After I retired I began writing to help people understand computers, software, smartphones and the Internet. You can download my free books from Apple iBooks, Google Play Books and from https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/edainow
