—Hit the accelerator (no serious actions, virus infects 5% of the population).
—Slam on the brakes (we are here now)
—In a few months hit the accelerator (allowed time for hospitals to catch up, need to get the economy moving for a while)
—Slam on the brakes—again! Virus has infected another 10% of the population (several months pause)
—Hit the accelerator
—Slam on the brakes
