Highlighting this:
Countries were late to travel restrictions essentially b/c public health scientists have an ideological preference for open borders.
I wonder how many people this lefty ideology killed. We correctly blame (mostly) right-wing anti-maskers for excessive deaths, but how about this? I’d estimate an extra few hundred thousand at least from this enormous failure alone.
Sure seems a long way now from all the dumbass libs back in February sneering how it was racist to close the borders of various countries, innit?
