Just think, if the world had done the right thing in a timely manner this thing would never have got to omicron.
this is also a funny way of admitting that your travel bans and border fetishes do precisely FUCK ALL. you’ve been insisting for this entire omicron wave that closed borders will do the trick.
go and refresh yourself on the timeline. it’s so fucking funny how much you revise your position and then end up, EVERY TIME, back at this hopeless, 'yes, but do it again and let's do it better this time', 'they didn't do exactly as i said', 'all these administrations are idiots', ‘damn china, let’s start a war’ posturing.
you were rubbing your hands with delight when israel totally closed all international entry. when france banned flights from the U.K. ‘but uziq, why are all these countries doing this if it makes no difference, tell me that! hue hue hue!’
within 14 days of both of those dilbert-endorsed policies, israel had untraced community transmission of omicron. in quick time france started posting its biggest ever numbers. half a million cases a day!
isn't it funny that all these countries you applauded one minute, including the much-celebrated list of 'zero covid' success stories, and which have been feted for 2+ years for their 'world leading' pandemic response, are now either trying+failing to continue zero covid or intelligently pivoting to something else, à la 'living with covid'? isn't it funny that all these world governments with so much expertise/experience, and who did so well, are now, in your view, big dumbie idiots who don't know what they're doing? did they all have a HR change or something?
and still you kept insisting ‘it has measurable results in many countries’. a little vague in naming the countries. china has no fewer than about 10 major cities under full lockdown - let’s say more than the entire population of australia’s worth - and they’re still detecting omicron in further, apparently unlinked cities. new zealand has untraced omicron. taiwan has omicron. south korea has omicron. WHERE ARE THESE MEASURABLE RESULTS?
There's ample 'measurable result', nations largely free of COVID even with omicron.
There's ample 'measurable result'
W H E R E? we are only +1 month into omicron and i can't see any good results anywhere. it seems to me your beloved closed borders and total travel bans didn't even buy most places, e.g. israel, 10 days of omicron-free grace period. the omicron wave has already peaked and is receding in many countries that didn't use border controls, ironically.
i’m not surprised that a live-at-home manchild has problems admitting when he’s wrong. being mommy coddled for one’s whole life is tantamount to a serious psychological and emotional impairment.
but let’s just make this clear: you’re wrong and you have nothing to say.
