You ignored his point entirely, which is that even if we did manage to further lock down our borders, it does nothing to stop community transmissions.Your statement on the relationship between border control and non-border community transmission is obvious and irrelevant to my statement. Why are you belaboring the obvious?
>Those countries you listed weren't able to control the virus through strong border control
The topic of the comment I responded to was the rapid near elimination of the virus from a country. This was done in the context of fantastically strong border control, which [during this time frame] is a prerequisite to achieving that goal. Now you have changed the topic to "controlling" the virus, which is a relatively vague term and concept.
