This seems like a long bet. What if we never find a proper vaccine?

This seems like a long bet. What if we never find a proper vaccine?
- electriclove 6y agoExactly! What happens then?
- lostlogin 6y agoWe carry on as normal, like we are. We have to quarantine for 2 weeks when coming into the country, that is the price. Are you under the impression that something more onerous is happening?
- electriclove 6y agoI guess the question is... for how long?
- foogazi 6y agoFor two weeks!
- higeorge13 6y agoThis is normal for your country which is self-sustainable, other countries cannot follow the same strategy for multiple reasons. I wish we were NZ, but we aren't. We rely on tourism, our whole economy has been build around that, closed borders and 14 days isolation will bury everything. Anyone can suggest a lockdown, but some countries cannot work that way and have to find a compromise, not bet on a vaccine somewhere in the near future (when?).
- lostlogin 6y agoThe biggest industry in New Zealand was tourism. We rely heavily on open borders until this year.
- foogazi 6y agoMaybe you could cater to NZ tourists or if covid safety can’t be guaranteed then go for herd immunity Either way as a country that depends on tourism you can’t be infecting tourists
