Improve the lockdown intervention
These are some points we have discussed that need to be refined, prioritized, and split into individual issues.
- If the number of infections remains over the defined threshold, the lockdown intervention gets re-applied immediately the next simulation day. We should extend the lockdown instead of lifting it.
- Introduce the concept of "detected" cases which will drive the lockdown, rather than the total number of infections. (This will have implications and dependencies on other features too).
- We can potentially allow a few inter-region transports (for essential services) during the lockdown. (Maybe a lockdown can have different levels - normal lockdown, sealed etc.)
- Instead of lifting the lockdown outright, it can be lifted in a phased manner - allowing a percentage of the population to work and maintaining lesser density in workplaces.
Point 1 has been covered in https://github.com/thoughtworks/epirust/commit/777135f05a595da2034ae43de43f99882c2d28a3
