Here is the definition
quar·an·tine
/ˈkwôrənˌtēn/
nounverb
- a state, period, or place of isolation in which people or animals that have arrived from elsewhere or been exposed to infectious or contagious disease are placed.
"many animals die in quarantine"Now if a single human is infected with a contagious disease, and he is put into quarantine, it lessens the risk of others being infected. To extrapolate that concept on a global scale, it would seem that a country being separated from other countries, in a sort of macro quarantine, would also reduce the risks of infection, no?
- impose isolation on (a person, animal, or place); put in quarantine.
Why is quarantine only effective on a small scale? Please explain.

We don’t?

barring that, how about imposing a damper on the NUMBER of border crossings, if Covid is such a concern?
barring that, how about STFU forever about Covid?
