After admitting you don’t know the best way to handle the virus is you then opine that closing the borders is ridiculous. Apart from that cognitive dissonance, can you not see that there is no middle ground with the virus? Either we eradicate it or we deal with surges with more lock-downs and the whole whack-a-mole endless crisis. Or we could always adopt the populist approach and let it burn through the population and hope that immunity is robust and long-lasting, neither of which is currently in evidence.
