Here is just one example of the selfish whining online about us not being open to tourists:
" I'd say there's very little support to open borders now from the local population. Tourism is suffering massively, but most of the population don't care about those in that sector unfortunately"
Seriously? Making those of us who finally have clawed back a bit more freedom sound like the bad guys because we don't want them to open too quickly? We see what is going on in the US, UK and elsewhere with Delta. We know that if that happens here because they lift the restrictions on people coming in, we will be the ones locked back down, just like last time. The tourists that contributed to the case surges here were long gone. We were left holding the bag.
And he tries to portray himself as the good guy just caring about the tourism industry. I am sure he really doesn't give a crap about that. He just doesn't want his vacation plans ruined.

Oh this is so typical - polarising an issue. We had this a lot in the UK too. If we voiced caution we were 'pro lockdown' to some people. In fact caution is as you say to avoid punitive future lockdowns- we all know how awful they are.
Some people seem to demonstrate real 'all or nothing' 'black or white' thinking on this subject. It's so wearing isn't it!
