It has been for months. This was the number 2 downside of the Uk approach of maximising how many people were infected at any given time.
Number 1 was lots more dead. Number 3 was a lot more time in lockdown.
Australia are a good alternative model.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoAustralia is spending lots of time in hard lockdown for minimal virus numbers and they haven't really achieved anything. The minute they open up travel they'll be swamped with it. Nobody has even the slightest natural immunity. And how long will they keep the isolation up? The hard-line approach works when everybody applies it. The virus could actually be stamped out that way. Especially when it all began. It would have been a great approach then. But not when the rest of the world is one big breeding ground. It feels to me a bit like a mechanic that's trying to work while keeping his coveralls pristine. It makes things a lot more difficult and sooner or later things will go bad anyway. I'm kinda happy Europe is not trying this. Even though it was never an option anyway with so many land borders and countries disagreeing about everything.
