HVAMMSTANGI, Iceland (AP) — Winter storms isolated the northern village of Hvammstangi from the rest of Iceland. Then spring brought the coronavirus, isolating villagers from each other. Now, as summer approaches, residents hope life is getting back to some kind of normal.
First of all, Iceland is a little country with a population of over 300,000 socialist Viking Eurotrash who all wind up dating and marrying their relatives and who have ignored sage, timely disinfectant injection advice.
Like I’m really going to learn anything from them.
Hats off to Iceland. They were particularly hard hit during the Great Recession. Glad to see they seem to have this well in hand…at least for now.
Iceland is one of the few countries that actually jailed their central bankers.
Spent 3 weeks in Iceland last year. Amazing place. Amazing people. And god, what a shock – smart enough to know that preparation and early action are the key to being able to respond any emergency. Given their long-standing volcano emergency preparedness systems and training, it does not surprise me that they’ve had such success in this matter, too, by doing the exact opposite of President Fuckwit and his team of imbeciles.
Maybe Fat Bastard will try to buy Iceland now instead of Greenland so he can claim credit for their success.
Not only is the country sparsely populated, making it much easier to socially distance, as an island far removed from other populations they don’t have potential vectors swooping in from multiple places landing in a multitude of entry ports. This makes it easier to control the entry of possible infection sources, than the US, for example. The only downside in this control effort would have been Iceland’s place as a popular tourist destination, which would have brought in many before the need to shut down traffic to became obvious.
