Becoming a small island with strict immigration controls is a little difficult for the US.
- lifeformed 6y agoI don't get why people keep repeating that being an island is a big deal in a modern pandemic. Infected people came into the US by plane, and general incompetence caused it to explode from within. It wasn't caused by some rush of infected Mexicans slipping through the southern border.
- jedberg 6y agoBeing an island wasn't really a factor in their success. It was their strict quarantine rules and paying people to stay home. If the US had done those things from the beginning, we'd be much better off.
