Tell that to the people with cancer, relying on radiopharmaceuticals to reach their hospital before the dose decays below a therapeutic level. I work in healthcare and can assure you that there is a lot of important stuff that we need to be able to get from A to B within Europe quickly. It’s not ideal in a pandemic (understatement of the year!) but we can’t just tear things up and start all over again. Especially right now, with the health service stretched as it is.Queenstown was being destroyed by tourism. Absolute destroyed. Kiwis are happy to press reset. Bad example but I do appreciate your point.
To your first paragraph - Businesses could organise themselves. Testing resolves those kind of problems. Enough to mitigate at
Air freight? I don’t give a shit. Nor should anyone really.
Not a shot across your bows, but for such a left leaning site, we spout a lot of shite with an economy bent.
The drive to bring tourism and international flights back full force is fecking up everything. In my opinion of course. The whole world could just go far slower. We pretend that it can’t.
The migrant workers thing is a big deal too. If our ability to produce/distribute food goes tits up then we’re talking serious post-apocalyptic, stab your neighbour for some Rice Crispies, shit. And - whether you like it or not - the whole food industry in the EU is propped up by the ability to easily move people and goods between countries without any delays at borders. Close those borders and the whole house of cards will come down.
