Australia has had more than a year to build healthcare facilities and train caregivers to deal with any “surge” of the China Virus.
If there is any nation which has not, it can only be concluded that the government there wants these lockdowns to continue for its own (most likely nefarious) purposes.
Hopkins used to be on Hannity’s radio show all the time.
Well, you shouldn't trust any governments. That's a good baseline.
But I think it was a legitimate question, or theory if you will, that IF you shut down transmission on an island (NZ or Iceland, for example), or on a remote Very Big Island (Australia) that you could wait it out.
Australia, NZ, and Iceland were very very successful on their own terms, having zero or near zero cases for > 1 year and normal social and economic activity.When Australia chose its course, we did not know which of these were correct.
Now we do.
Without the ability to vaccinate their whole population -which has no natural immunity- these countries have no solutions to hand.
