The United States is not the sort of police state..."Police state" is the knee jerk response to any request for even minimal individual sacrifice for the greater good. Look at the responses to masking and vaccination requirements as examples. that can prevent any cases from getting out into the community. That non-police state cannot economically exist with a perpetual non-negligible percentage of people ill with Covid. The beginning of that economic collapse are beginning to show themselves. Even China didn't always do it successfully. I've been looking for examples by which Covid new case rates have been lowered to negligible levels without recourse to lockdowns. Are you aware of any? I'm not. I thought Israel might be such an example, with their introduction of a booster shot. It appeared to work for between Sept and Nov. There were very modest internal restrictions and controls for entering the country. It then discovered that booster shot efficacy declined rapidly starting 10 weeks after injection. |
