  1. They are synonyms, just a different tone.

  2. Hell no, I am Australian and no way in hell would I want the PAHO Pan-American Health Organization and European WHO region countries taking over which is what you are implying even if you didn't realize it. The Western Pacific WHO region decided closed borders (mandatory enforced usually hotel quarantine) and elimination in many cases was a good idea. Do think any Australian would support not having our regional WHO office and it being taken over by those other regions? I would suggest the Western Pacific region should take over, less than 10% of the deaths per Capita compared to your preferred leaders and the South East Asia WHO region ( South Asia plus half of ASEAN countries) and African regions play a supporting role because they have also done better than the ones you want taking over. Those countries can make vaccines , they are good at that but managing a pandemic they are not.

  3.  @susanmaddison5947  I think you miss the point completely, the US never quarantined anyone after the evacuation flights from Wuhan and never even shut a single internal state border. There was nothing but the initial voluntary compliance which countries in the Western Pacific started with too. The US never changed its position. The powers that be in Germany and US in particular were the keep the borders open because it was openly stated. China has nothing to do with anything after February or so and by mid February on 21st I believe Tedros said time is running out to contain the virus. The US managed 500 covid 19 tests by the end of February compared to 100,000 by South Korea and in second place per Capita Australia with 10,000 tests. The US never changed course it did shut the border on non citizens though if from certain countries. China itself had some of the same problems in the beginning, nobody knew for a while that people with virtually no symptoms were spreading it. The thing is the US and Europe had a couple of months to change direction but it never happened, freedom to travel overruled all other concerns. Currently Greater Sydney is in lockdown, it's now more difficult for them to travel interstate than it is internationally to the US or UK in respect of quarantine. Australia , China, Vietnam and New Zealand took the hardest line consistently and we have the least cases but the Delta variant is nothing like the original Wuhan variant, so Sydney is struggling.
