That's a really irresponsible decision which might have heavy paybacks to EU later

As a society we deserve to die out. We're too stupid to live.

What happens to the ones that test positive arriving in Italy?

For what i read on our news, they get isolated; but not said where and how. Obviously the first flight skipped the test, because in Italy burocracy make any decision to delay, sometimes of years.

but if surrounding countries have no restrictions, Is Italy really okay? are there not open borders in EU?

Yes, but will take some time to travel, and to spread the virus... I doubt they go to Germany for then come in Italy just for skip the test.

Edit: they tested and found the same variants we already have.

Given how prevalent the virus has been in every country of EU, the number of arrivals from China is tiny compared to EU population currently infected, even though the proportion of infected from China is higher.

Unfathomably stupid and irresponsible

restrictions are really pointless without cooperation.

Sweet, sweet.

Hey, just checking, we're ending year 4 of this pandemic, correct? An entire debacle caused by slow, ineffective responses to COVID similar to the slow, ineffective response to a possible source of major reinfection of the population of the EU we are seeing now?

Cool, coolcoolcoolcoolcool no doubt, no doubt, no doubt.

Of course not, that would be far too logical for the UK

As we don't restrict what infected people here do, what would we be trying to achieve? Also as seen last time, restricting entry from one country is utterly ineffective.

I don't see that ending well. I know people in China and neighboring countries that say things are pretty bad there.

It's because we want to act like the pandemic is over.

It's not just the governments at fault, it's the rest of us too. We're all idiots.

We get the leadership we deserve so dying out because 'money' is our own fault.

IDK why people are acting as if this is a bad thing. We're all (mostly) vaccinated and this current variant has already spread in our own countries for the past few months. It's just China's turn with this very rapidly spreading variant.

We dealt with it. Now it's their turn.

Some of us still have things like autoimmune comorbidities despite being fully vaccinated with boosters. Like my brother, who is still dealing with long covid from a September infection. The population as a whole can tolerate it, but not all of us.

I'd rather not have to go through 2020 part 2. We know what works and doesn't, plus Chinese New Year is right around the corner. It was already spreading, but that's what spread it so rapidly the first time.

COVID is still around, and no number of Chinese tourists will not change anything. Europe simply run out of susceptible population for any waves to rise.

Bad thing is when Covid spreads even more due to non testing to countries being visited.
