honestly, i don't understand what the fuck is happening. can an EU country close down its borders to other EU countries? because it's absolutely unbelievable to me that no country in europe, none of them, has done it right. like what the fuck?? just lock it down then test people when they show symptons and quarantine those coming in?? it's not rocket science?? for a rich ass country even??
it's not because they're just capitalists and shit, of course this gets in the way too, but occupied korea is capitalist and so is new zealand and they're doing ok, so...?? what gives?
All the countries that are doing OK were on the receiving end of SARS back in 2008 and they have facilities built to keep covid patients isolated where they can be treated. We have known this to be pretty much the only reliable way to sever transmission chains since fucking March, somehow though the message got diluted into WE NEED TO TEST A LOT I GUESS, and isolating became a matter of personal responsibility which is wrong and stupid.
I was travelling through Germany after the 2015 Paris attacks, and they absolutely stopped people and checked visas and turned people away. Schengen doesnt mean anything when they actually care and want to take action.
I dont know why the EU and US fucked this up so bad. Even a halfassed attempt in Canada seemed to work nevermind how well NZ and occupied Korea as you pointed out. Obviously austerity budgets just werent up to the task and they hoped to gamble on covid burning out before schools had to reopen (nevermind them not considering online only schools or just something alternative to just pack all the kids without social distance rules).
Australian states went full Madagascar despite the screaming of the Federal Government and it's gone fairly well (except in the 'progressive' state that wants to privatise everything)
yea schengen countries can turn their border control back on but its for temporary emergencies like terrorism or covid. i think sweden, denmark, finland have borders now and maybe some other places
