Would you care to explain why it’s not possible?

If sealed borders means free movement of goods, and entry via 14 days supervised quarantine, then Yes.  Easily.  

Excluding New South Wales and Victoria, both of which have an active cluster,  not one Australian state recorded a new case yesterday despite very high rates of testing.  State borders are closed.  

Elimination behind sealed borders is a real possibility.  *If* that is achieved, then many would be happy to wait out the pandemic behind sealed borders.  You can postpone it forever if you don’t let it in.  The virus can only come in, if you let it in. 

We do have a problem with NSW lifting its restrictions too early but other States will keep their borders sealed against NSW while they sort themselves out.  

I say this with caution because we could easily screw this up yet.  

Hey, I know what you are talking about, I live on a self sufficient island as well.
Who said anything about six months? Do you think you can sustain closed borders for - let's say - a few years?

Yeah I don’t know about that.

We grow about three times more food than required to support our population.  

We load wheat, coal and iron ore into bulk carriers using conveyors. We offload refined fuel through pipes.  

We can put foreign aircrew into supervised hotel quarantine for air cargo (spares and new iPhones).  If it’s really important for other people to visit, they can sit in 14 day quarantine as well.  

We have one of the worlds leading vaccine companies (CSL).

Not a lot of physical contact required with the outside world.  Just in my house I could go off grid for six months right now and not even blink.  Lots of solar power, thousands of liters of tank water and plenty of dried goods.

Sorry to disappoint you but he DGAF about anyone else. He would just go off and live in the sea

That may be so, but most people given the choice would decline the option of dying in the next 60 days.

Do you really believe that?
One way or the other, sooner or later, you're going to have to interact with the rest of the world.
It is your economy that will be destroyed behind sealed borders.

Waiting it out is total bullshit.
The Mayans were waiting out on European pandemics for centuries, until Christopher decided to visit.
Too bad there was no BG then, uh?

Was testing of all passengers and crew done on the Diamond Princess?  If we don’t know the denominator, then the Case Fatality Rate is just guesswork.  The only data I can find is 712 cases and 13 deaths giving a CFR of 1.8%

Case fatality rate is at 100% for our life time.

Elwar, if you were in control with the government this would never have been an issue. Heck if a fucking chicken had been in control this would probably have been a minor issue. The thing that really ticks me off is that this happened THREE times in the past.

• In 2002 we had the SARs epidemic. World governments worked together to contain and mitigate it, and the result was a minor issue with no recurrence.
• In 2011 we had the H5N1 nightmare. World governments tried to suppress, then because of me they worked together to identify and create vaccines for it. No problem.
• In 2012 we had the MERS epidemic. World governments worked together to contain and mitigate it, and the result was a minor issue with no recurrence.

Now in 2020 we have COVID/SARS. Same thing but this time world governments are all fighting with each other over pointless shit, did not work together, and the US government in particular not only did nothing but instead spread lies that allowed it to not be contained, to arrive on cruise ships released by fucking political pull, and spread like wildfire in the country.

As icing on the cake this moron leader disbanded the teams who knew how to work on this in 2018, ignored the runbooks, and put the president's moron son in charge of responses that were not only laughable but totally counterproductive.

Sorry. Those trillions of dollars down the drain is the complete and final responsibility of one Donald Trump and his less than worthless Rethuglican cronies. Their lies, inaction, and malicious response has directly cost this country trillions of dollars and as of this afternoon 78,397 dead people.

Yes, I do believe Elwar that you would have done a great job. Really, I do. But this is what the people of the US wanted, and this is what they get. They can deal with it.

Hey moron, if you could read you could tell that was 2 months ago, long closed those, my shorts started at 10010 2 days ago

Was testing of all passengers and crew done on the Diamond Princess?  If we don’t know the denominator, then the Case Fatality Rate is just guesswork.

Outbreak on Diamond Princess ship occurred 3 months ago. Yet no significant increase in the last month or so, right?

I know you will say that the passengers were probably old and fat.

And I will say the crew members were probably NOT old and fat.

Probably my last TA here, take it as a parting gift i suppose

I said healthy people who die, take a long time to die.  It takes them 45 - 60 days to drown in their own lung fluid as they fight every step of the way.

On that note: in all channels that I’m following, I’m sensing no panic at all. In some channels the ‘dump’ is not even brought up. That strikes me as positive and supporting the notion that this is just a ‘correction’. A ‘blimp’ as we tend to say after a few years
