I'm more talking about some humans getting infected somewhere, then bringing it in from wherever they were, where precautions are lower than where you came from. The way I see it, the long-term route is treating COVID like, say, malari

Well but of course! These functions are already implemented with basic exception safety in mind. What if they weren't? This is exactly the same situation as a function that has callback(); which cannot be changed into if

But with exceptions what do you do? You have to go modify or reimplement the source code of every intermediate function to be correct and safe when an exception is thrown at every point where it can be thrown , which is a giant waste of ef

Wait a minute. Why would Fastmail preemptively block Russian IPs if they don't have any legally vulnerable presence in Russia? Just to deny Roskomnadzor the joy? There is Russian proverb that aptly describes such behavior: "назло
