    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
