> Really? Which leaders? Haven't almost all countries affected by Covid reopened most of the way before the number of new infections reached zero? I don't think zero covid had any impact beyond being a talking piece. And how does widespread immunity figure in? Zero covid (and "no covid", another different but related proposal which they conflate) came up in Dec 2020/Jan 2021, when no place on Earth had anything like widespread immunity even in sight.

I believe Australia is taking this approach.
