We have been using face masks and border closures more or less for more then a year now, still we get the one variant, or wave, after another. It makes me thinks these steps are not working. The virus spreads over the whole world and if i get infected it doesn´t really care which nationality the one has who infects me.
I live in a island-country, people say just close the border and we don´t have any covid. Maybe that´s right but in our modern world no country is a island anymore, not even the geographic islands. With our modern way of living each country is depending on other countries. We can not close the borders for a couple of months, let alone years.
Each time a new variant get´s detected, countries put in place more restrictions but then it´s already too late because the new variant has already been spreading without us knowing it.
