Assuming for a moment that they really DO need to slow down or stop Omicron illness, why is it better to do nothing until it is too late, causing hospitality, shops, and theatre to be destroyed, and death and misery from lack of medical assistance, when they could have stopped foreign travel and supported just that one industry instead?

Has any country anywhere stopped this air borne virus that can cause no symptoms at their borders; whatever the measures they took?

I believe New Zealand did well.( perhaps a little too enthusiastically)

It wouldn't stop it completely, obviously, but if it could slow it down long enough for either the promised vaccine or the spring when viruses lessen, it would be a lot better than what we have got at the moment, because we could carry on as normal except for flying.

Well perhaps but better still: forget about it. Stop testing. No one is dying, after all. Just...let it go...

Oh I agree, like I said in the first post, it is only assuming that they DO need to do something.
But given that they seem determined, it seems a very inefficient way to go about it.

They are only determined - IMHO - to appear to be doing something about a situation they can't do anything much about, and know they can't. And on an individual level - witness the breaking of their own rules - don't even see the need for.
