Zero COVID strategy (Atlantic Canada, Australia, China) vs Mitigation strategy (BC, Ontario, Europe) - the results
- Thread starter wetnose
- Start date
One hard lock down, followed by surviellence...you know , kind of how you deal with a viral outbrweak...
none of those places listed have had only one hard lockdown, not one
they've all had multiple lockdowns, some longer than others, some lighter
Taiwan is the only country to crush covid and they didn't do it with a lockdown
they did it with policies they enacted from learning from SARS, which was much deadlier than covid 19, along with MERS, also deadlier than 19
they had restrictions at first, for a couple of months for large gatherings, but kept schools open, most businesses
they controlled the borders, quarantined people upon arrival, put an app on their phones to track them, put them in gov't run taxis to take them to their homes to quarantine, hotels, ect...
physically checked on them, phoned them, supported them with help, for 14 days, fined them if they left the home/room
they were back to mostly normal last May/June
the fact the media and the west won't tell the truth about this, because of China
follow it because of pure stupidity, China
asinine
the playbook was developed by people edumacated in the US, tech developed in the US
us, hide in the basement, Australia, go full commie like China
beat people who are on the street
freak out over 10 cases like the irrational emotional cripples in Atlantic Canada
covid zero is a commie idea, and it still didn't really work, they still have a couple dozen cases going today
open your borders to places that aren't like you and it's rinse repeat without full vaccinations
which is why border control is the most important thing, not covid zero lockdowns
they did well because of that, the above, except China, which you can't believe anything they say
their death toll was clearly way higher than they've stated
Zero cases is a wet dream....
So keep dreaming....
We will never cure the common cold...
Well maybe we did....mild covid might replace it...

New Zealand busted their natural 6-million-foot social distancing with Australia a few days ago, and formed a travel bubble. Then the state of Western Australia had an outbreak and fell out of the bubble, Perth on lockdown, 1,000 passengers being contacted, etc. They will probably contain it in a few weeks, but it is surprising how often and quickly the situation deteriorates even if they are aiming for elimination.
