It doesn't need that though.
It needs countries to close the borders tightly except to countries that do cooperate, as many Asian countries have successfully done.
- carlmr 6y agoIf your goal is to stop mutations from happening, yes, you need everyone in the world to go on full lockdown for 4 weeks. And then test everybody and quarantine until the disease is gone. The situation right now is that you have plenty of breeding grounds for new mutations, and it only needs some minor crossing of borders for these to get through. I would also say it's infeasible for non-island nations that need to trade with other countries to completely lock the borders.
