Vietnam the police State and Isle of Man the tiny island that doesn't share a land border with another country?
On that we agree. The whole Zero Covid thing has been dismissed by the Government and State institutions. We don't have the location. We don't have the compliant population. We have a grossly inefficient health service so contact tracing etc doesn't work to the required level. We have a small and inept police force. We have no Army worth talking about. One of us is in a hole here and it aint me.Y’know @Purple, when you’re in a hole you should stop digging .
The Isle of Man came out of Lockdown on February 2nd , cases went up and they reentered Lockdown at the start of March. It was widely reported.Yes it is. How about Isle of Man?
And Vietnam?

The irony....there are none so blind as those who are to ignorant to see.
A complete closure of the borders will be challenged rightly in court up to the European Court. Also it will lead to a further accelerated Exodus of many many foreigners. I would also definitely relocate. How long would the border then be closed ? A year? Longer? Some Companies would then be forced to relocate positions as well.The Zero Covid countries will vaccinate their entire populations later. NewZealand has already begun vaccinating.
Then they’ll be in the same boat as everyone else.
Except they’ll have none of the negative effects of national yo-yo lockdown, they’ll have a greater choice of vaccines to choose from, arguably vaccines that have been designed with B117, P1, etc as targets as well as the parent strain, and they’ll cost less too.
Oh, and in the case of NZ, a body count of 26.
BTW, Zero Covid means zero tolerance to Covid.
Zero Covid does not mean Zero Vaccine.
Very good point - if you do not test you obviously do not find Covid cases...The Isle of Man came out of Lockdown on February 2nd , cases went up and they reentered Lockdown at the start of March. It was widely reported.
If you look at the area of South East Asia with millions of people and then look at reported cases it seems implausible that those figures are accurate...... Cambodia,Vietnam, have about 2500 total cases, Laos 49 , Malaysia 346000..
Malaysia being a fairly modern country with proper reporting capabilities.
It seems that there is no topic which Fintan does not deem himself qualifies to pontificate on. Vietnam is a nominally communist police state which closed its borders for months. We've been around this track a few times now. I really thought the Zero Covid fantasists has realised how silly the notion is.What level will Ireland be in from April 12th? Level 4 is it?
I see Fintan O’Toole an article about he success of Asian countries like VietNam in address the Coronavirus. Long story short, they just did what they did for SARS and MERS. Simoles.
Meanwhile as New Zealand are rolling out their vaccines they’re opening up international travel. Starting with Australia.
Why is zero covid a fantasy? We were 100 years rabies-free in this country until some eejit smuggled in an infected animal last year and destroyed our record. How many cases of smallpox, leprosy, polio, plague (black death) have we had in this country in the last couple of decades? If we aim for the stars there's a chance we'll get there, aim lower and I guarantee we won't.I really thought the Zero Covid fantasists has realised how silly the notion is.
Smallpox no longer exists outside laboratories. Polio is also nearly gone (thanks to a large extent to Bill Gates), leprosy is easily treated and most people who are infected with the virus don’t develop the disease. The Black Death (pneumonic plague) is fast acting and so easier to contain. It’s also 98% confined to Africa.How many cases of smallpox, leprosy, polio, plague (black death)
