This pandemic really hit hard the economy, any growth has been corrected many times. Even many policy has been changed drastically to accommodate the critical conditions in market, including how long quarantine for foreigners entering the country. Too expensive would driveway tourist which already reluctant to travel.
Extreme measures by nil the quarantine period should be questioned how safe to screen the spreading disease. Like complete vaccines doesn’t protect from getting infected. So safety concern being sideways by economy priorities.
That’s why we’ve seen slow progress in stopping spread disease or another waves incoming in bigger cases. Warning from world health organization seem easy by economy concerns. If economy on crisis, there would be another burden instead health concerns in priority.
Screening failure
The spreading diseases across the world can be concluded by failure in preventing disease in border areas. If quarantine reduces to nil means the bearer should be cleared from carrier the virus. Still periods of incubation show not changed, even in new variants.
Policy in protecting disease from spreading should be tightened if cases still high on neighbors country. Our lesson from the past should be learned by no compromise in screening moving people. Even for economy sake, because another huge spending in health insurance would add another huge debt too.
Tight measure should be in places in whatever reason, even better closed the border, if cases still high on other side. Even herd immunity on places still not warranty stopping the spreading. Better alert than sorry in next waves cases which could be uncontrollable.
Higher standard
Relaxing the border to invite tourists also has weak side, they see it as low standard in health care. Many administrators would give red notice on their citizens regarding weak policy in protecting health issues. That’s why it’s like dilemmas in reducing standard policy screening at border.
Quarantine should always see as safety and should be in place tightly. Any loosely measured just inviting another trouble in future. Though relaxing means should be followed by another step in screening incoming people.
Easy examples by monitoring people after quarantine periods, though in past really difficult to catch loosen infection. Once in community hardly known how to control the spreading in higher population. Self isolation after quarantine periods perhaps win win solution, to cut the burden in traveling and still saving the economy in the right way.
