Tristan

What was special about this small island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, thousands of miles from civilization, inhabited by a handful of French scientists?

Answer: Strict lockdowns and masks.

We could learn a lot from them.

New Zealand has 5 million people. It beat COVID.

Hawaii could easily do the same if they could regulate their own borders and keep the Haole out.

The point to that post was that two large, not-so-isolated places managed to beat covid through fairly strict controls.

"Vietnam beat covid. It's never coming back!"

I find few things in life more entertaining than the endless desperation of these covid panic fraghuts

The whole world and future generations can see that you guys chose poorly. Man up. Get over it.

Yeah, that even non-desolated and highly-densely-populated countries can beat COVID. If it can be done in Vietnam and Taiwan, then it could be done anywhere. There are no excuses.

Sure, if you define "beat" in some super-restrictive sense that defies popular usage. But the fact remains: some places have done much, much, much better than others on the basis of their public health policies.
