Should we drop MIQ?

i might be with wainuiguy on this one.
we've done what we can, we isolated and vaccinated
with very good (albeit strong-armed) numbers participating
we protected the vulnerable and continue to mask up and boost for the littlies
there isnt much more we can do, we've prepared. time to open the gate and with any luck, gloat.

too soon for that, if this expected outbreak doesn't happen to lead to 1000s of cases a day and does stay at a very modest couple of hundred, would you still be keen to open the flood gates? 

If MIQ has taught us one thing it is that all cases have come from overseas, more than a fair share of travellers actually bring covid despite the testing requirements, and in some cases it is incredibly difficult to test reliably, with folks testing positive after two weeks, having tested negative in MIQ - we should be extending MIQ stays

Maybe a compromise of less travel restrictions but longer MIQ stays?
