So a few Canadian provinces have succeeded in stopping covid in their regions. They created a regional bubble cut off from the rest of the world.
Why is it America did not do its own bubble or have regional bubbles? It would have taken some emergency orders or new legislation to pull it off. But the country could have been running as normal with few covid cases. Everyone working, no need for massive handouts.
The ‘Atlantic bubble’ has largely succeeded in keeping out COVID-19. But can it last?
As other parts of the country struggle with a second wave of COVID-19 that could be more punishing than the first, the four eastern provinces have managed to keep the pandemic at bay and even relaxed a social gathering limit Thursday, with a mixture of good fortune, public co-operation and some of the toughest public-health rules in Canada.
The region has reported just a handful of infections in the past month, all of them tied to people travelling outside Atlantic Canada. There has been little more than 1,610 cases of the disease in the Atlantic provinces since March, compared with more than 154,000 in the rest of Canada.
N.S. goes 3 days without reporting a new COVID-19 case; 4 active cases remain
We did have bubbles. The East and West coast caught it first, probably due to the fact that people are congregated there and they travel more than someone in the middle of the country. Now we are seeing the virus work its way into the center of the nation.
The regional bubble in Canada is due to the fact that there are fewer people up there and they do not move around as much.
Biden told us that "Americans don't panic" Tell that to someone that was out of toilet paper in the Spring... but Americans are tough and stubborn. If Trump came out and said he was going to lock it all down, the Democrats would have flipped out and found someway to attack him on it while the average citizen would have ignored the order.
There is no locking down America. It is too big, there are too many stubborn and skeptical people and it just wouldn't work no matter who is in charge.
So SICK of the FEAR PORN from the subverted demoralized zombies!!!
Why the delusional gibberish? Covid is a world wide problem not something invented by Democrats. It is also something that can be stopped we don't just have to give up and live with it. As a Libertarian makes more sense to have a bubble country or bubble regions than what we are doing. The stock market is dropping again. Down 900 yesterday. Both parties here are doing a poor job. That is clear.

I don't want a lock down. I am a Libertarian against lock downs. The virus is not working its way from one region to another. People with the virus are moving it from one region to another. Big difference. Its not flying in the air from place to place. And people are still flooding in from other countries.
But you could have a bubble and nothing beyond commercial flights in. Actually shut the border with Mexico. As it stands now Americans can go in and out of Mexico as much as they want. Officially they cannot but I have friends to go down there often and there is a long line of Americans at the border crossing every day. Mexico does a temp check of people crossing in. As long as it is normal they get in. El Paso on the border with Juarez, Mexico is one of the biggest hotspots now. Mexico has had about the same daily case count of covid for months and 1/40th the testing we do. The numbers are way undercounted.
Months ago back in March I asked on here why is it we cannot close state borders or at regionally. It could have been done. Look after 9/11 Americans were stripped of so many rights. Everyone accepted it. I am against that but it shows a bubble could have been done with bi-partisan leadership. One voice. We would have avoided the economic crash and the bailouts and the deaths and sick americans. If these little podunk provinces could do it America could have.

Soooo...an area the size of New York and California combined - with the population of Houston - and you want to compare the trajectory of a thing that mainly depends on population density - and you're wondering why we don't just "do what they did?"
For the USA to "do what they did" all you'd have to do is move the entire population of NYC to Montana and Wyoming, and distribute them evenly. If you did that - it would STILL be 10 times the density of the "Atlantic Bubble."

I don't think it depends on population density. That was the chatter when NYC got it. Now its the Dakotas and Montana and lots of regions that are not dense. And its in those places from people bringing it there. We could have done it. I believe as a country we are capable of anything. But with the Dems and GOP too busy fighting with each other it is difficult. Difference is Canada in these smaller areas seem united in the effort.

You should expect better not attack others.
The only gibberish is your FEAR pedaling!
The OVERREACTION from the LEFT is nonsencical!
The PLANDEMIC was foreseen and described during Event 201 in the fall of 2019
This was calculated, and the Globalist communist PIGS are delighted you dance for them!
