testing capacity couldn’t support it. no use doing this when the results come a week later. if this was a requirement earlier everyone would have complained it was just theater and not helping
Even without tests being widely available it would have been wise to require all arrivals to quarantine, as Taiwan has done with great success.
Yeah, sure, that would have been a nuisance for quite a few people and painful for the airline industry, true, but nowhere near as annoying and painful as things have ended up now.
Good for our constituants? check
Good for whoever pays for my campaign? check
Oh, you say it will jeopardize my reelection? fuggetaboutit /s
Other countries (Taiwan, NZ?) quarantine you for 14 days on arrival, and also test you...
