[game author here] Politically, eradication was never a real option in Czechia.

Improved contact tracing and testing is something we and the experts we worked with strongly supported. And we did consider adding them to the game. At the end, these features ended on the "cutting floor". We felt these features would a) be complicating the game too much b) they would lead to an optimal strategy too far away from what the the real country was doing. Unfortunately, real Czechia didn't use summer and fall 2020 to implement these "smart measures". In winter 2020/2021 only crude restrictive measures were available to manage the incoming virus surge.
