New Zealand (incredibly remote island with 4.8M, less than a few boroughs in London) shut down its borders before coronavirus season (which meant very limited community transmission outside of a few clusters) and did a hard lockdown. Once community spread has taken place (during coronavirus season), it's too late to act.

But if you have any argument other than ad-hominem attacks, please feel free to share and participate in the debate. Your only argument is outrage?

It's shocking that debate is now limited to insulting others of being anti scientific if they don't agree with one's point of view, backed with citations.

There is nothing ad-hominem about their comment.

The most populated london borough has a population of around 400,000. Quite clearly New Zealand's population is greater than any london borough, or even a few combined.

> shut down its borders before coronavirus season (

LOL, but you were trying to convince people isolation doesn't work and that the virus will just magically continue doing the rounds without any way of stopping it

Conspirationists don't have to make any sense, right?
