The primary burden of preventing travelers from entering a country usually falls on the country of departure and the carrier. There's a passport and visa check before boarding a plane or ship. Those without the proper papers are prevented from boarding. The number of agents agents in the destination country required to enforce a travel ban isn't a consideration. New Zealand immediately banned all foreigners from entering its country. It permitted its citizens to return but placed all of them in a 14 day quarantine upon arrival. New Zealand's immigration and customs personnel assigned to arriving travelers is proportional to the number of arriving travelers. Likewise the number of US personnel immigration and customs personnel is proportional to the number of arriving travelers.

Large crowds in Auckland protesting lcokdowns (How New Zealand Got Rid of COVID-19?)
Posted by Olog-hai* on Sat Sep 12 13:37:27 2020, in response to How New Zealand Got Rid of Covid-19, posted by Stephen Bauman on Sun Aug 9 10:14:40 2020.* Reuters Crowds rally in New Zealand's Auckland against coronavirus lockdown By Lidia Kelly September 12, 2020 3:00 AM Large crowds of people rallied in Auckland on Saturday against the government’s social distancing restrictions imposed on the country’s largest city after an outbreak of the novel coronavirus last month. Local television footage showed tightly packed crowds, with many people not wearing masks, with estimates of the attendance varying in reports between a thousand and a few thousand people. “We are all here today because we believe we need to stand up for our rights,” the public Television New Zealand cited Jami-Lee Ross, the leader of the Advance New Zealand party, one of the organizers of the protest, as saying. “We’re all here today because we believe it’s time to stand up and say, ‘We need to get our rights and freedoms back’.” There were no immediate reports of arrests. New Zealand, a nation of five million, had appeared to have succeeded in halting community transmission of COVID-19, but a fresh outbreak in Auckland in August prompted the government to place the city back in lockdown. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who is facing a general election on Oct. 17, scaled back the restrictions earlier this month, but the city is still under alert level 2.5, meaning social gatherings of more than 10 people are not allowed. Masks are mandatory on public transport across the country. On Saturday, New Zealand reported two new cases of the novel coronavirus, bringing its total number of infections since the start of the year to 1,444. Twenty-four people have died.^{[From what?]}

Re: Large crowds in Auckland protesting lcokdowns (How New Zealand Got Rid of COVID-19?)
Posted by Stephen Bauman on Sat Sep 12 21:14:02 2020, in response to Large crowds in Auckland protesting lcokdowns (How New Zealand Got Rid of COVID-19?), posted by Olog-hai on Sat Sep 12 13:37:27 2020. Auckland has not been on lockdown since August 31st. Here's a link to the press briefing where the reduction of their "Level 3" restrictions were confirmed. The Level 3 restrictions meant that travel in/out of the Auckland area had been severely restricted. That travel restriction was removed on Aug 31st, along with the lockdown. The rest of the country had been on "Level 2" restrictions, since the 4 community Covid cases was found on Aug 11th. Here's a link to these restrictions. Auckland has been on a modified Level 2, since Aug 31st. The special restriction on Auckland concern limited number at social gatherings. About 33% of the community cases since Aug 11th have been traced to one particular church and a subsequent bereavement meeting at a non-member's home by church members. One of the bereavement party visited a school. One of the church members visited another school. Both schools had to be shut down and disinfected. The first church member received his coronavirus dose on a public bus. New Zealand has identified two people who became infected on that bus. New Zealand had not previously used masks. The documented transmission on a public bus resulted in the new restriction that all people on buses and other forms of public transport wear masks. New Zealand was planning to evaluate whether to reduce the restrictions tomorrow (Sep 14th in NZ). Any reduction would take place on Sep 16th. Border restrictions still remain in force. Only citizens can return and they must stay in quarantine for 14 Covid-free days.

These aren't BLM. They get a free pass; that's why they're out there grinding up against you while you put your personal identification number number in the Money Access Center machine (nowadays Automated Teller Machine machine). They were called MACs in a lot of New Jersey locations too, BTW. First result on a Google search for "mac atm" has someone on Quora asking "Why do people in the Philadelphia area call the ATM a 'MAC machine'", funny enough.
