Luckily it's relatively easy to lock down an island(s). I remember when Hawaii lifted their #Covid lockdown. Made me sad bcuz, well...
Re Ill-equipped: If I remember right, the teenager in BC who had a severe case of #H5N1 got some sort of plasma treatment that requires special equipment that most hospitals have, just not enough to care for lots of ppl during a pandemic
Just because your local hospital has the proper equipment to deal with it, you better be the only one!
