Re: What a shit hole
I must have missed the bit where they discovered the plan for how the virus would be spreading, so they could plan a response.
The perfect is the enemy of the good.
They have known since January exactly what type of virus this is, and therefore the likely transmission routes. Quarantine is a simple measure designed to prevent more outbreak centres...
Letting people from known hotspots congregate on a plane, and through an airport and then spread themselves around the country was always crazy at the start of a serious outbreak (which it clearly was months ago).
Doing so now, when relatively few people are travelling is obviously easier, but is also probably a completely futile gesture, we have enough infections that an additional outbreak centre would likely go unnoticed in the noise of all the others.
