Feel the border thing is now abit over the top, Whats happened to the trust angle on self isolation at home, guess while most us are adults seems overkill for the minority of idiots
The political implications are going to get interesting. So far seems most are supportive.. but the real work begins around lockdown exit and economic salvage. Reopening borders forms part of this - leisure travel will be suppressed for a long while yet, but business needs are something else.
Many people mocked Australia for their *relaxed* approach a few weeks back.. but it will be interesting to compare their recovery with ours in 6 months time
