Great idea, just don't let anyone or anything into your small island country forever, so that nobody gets sick from a slightly worse flu. What possible negative economic consequences could that have?

This is interesting. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but I'm guessing this wasn't just an off-hand comment.

Perpetual lockdowns? Sounds awesome!!!

Because they're island nations and can completely close their borders, which is not the case for almost every other country in the world.
who was talking about other countries?

Some asshole a couple posts up. Check it out.
Animal vectors make this impossible.
the same country that disarmed its populace after a foreigner shot other foreigners
The real disease is your country itself is a dystopian police state with total control over its population of cattle.

... Is that a man?
Looks like the guy who acted as the green goblin in the initial spider man
Willem Defoe. Nah, she/it is way uglier than him... And it's claiming to be a woman, too, so...
