Kiwi Shanghai resident, Andy Boreham, documents just how useless our border controls are for halting the spread of COVID-19 especially when compared with China’s border and quarantine response.
I never thought I’d need to be tested for novel #coronavirus, especially with all the precautions I take, but there I was in a Shanghai health clinic waiting for my results.
It is criminal how the COVID-19 crisis has been handled at the border. When we had previous SARS type illnesses the airports screened with hand-held temperature guns. We are still not doing that.
The porous border controls are going to get people, at the least very sick, at the worst killed. This is almost criminal negligence.
