While I don’t like the border closures, isn’t the fact that we have such low infection rates testament to the effectiveness of limiting movement of people and thus the virus. We mustn’t forget that this whole thing started with a handful of individuals with “the flu”, and look at the world now.
P.S. It isn’t the flu, this virus comes with severe physiological and neurological side effects. The ongoing economic burden for the health sector due to life long illnesses will be enormous.
