Oh boy… time to shut down the whole world for 3 weeks.
Edit: Arr! This post is a sinking ship! But really, most countries are locking down and getting rid of the virus. Just not at the same time… that’s a shame, because it just moves all around the world in waves. In Australia we eliminated COVID several times, just to catch it from India and the US… over and over.
Yes, we have a few vaccines here. But not available to anyone except medical professionals. Vaccination rate is very low, perhaps the lowest in the world. Yet in between lockdowns and catching COVID from other countries, we live normally. Isolation of 2-3 weeks easily defeats COVID, even if delta strain and hundreds of cases, without vaccination. Global coordinated isolation seems like the safest and fastest way to end the pandemic. It works in Australia.
