When is the world going to grow tf up and realize that humans should be treated the same way other animals are treated when being transported internationally.

Mandated quarantine time. Health inspections / thorough testing, the works.

A world where a virus can go unchecked from africa to nyc in a day is fucked.

You know that wouldn't go over well with the general populace Look at how so many lost their minds during COVID and sheer amount of toxic mis/disinformation that led to so many needless deaths.

Frankly i am more appaled by the terrible job of WHO and CDC that did everything they could not to stop the spread of the disease until it was too late. WHO even refused to declare pandemic when it clearly fit its definition and only begrudgingly did this after countries started declaring it locally.

COVID should have not left eastern asia. Yet when Japanese somehow decided to release known infected people to go whereever they want (diamond princess ship case) CDC decided that no isolation is needed after they were flown back to US.

I'm not sure how that would work given how reliant the world is on international trade in food and energy

It would work the same way it currently does for animals. Quarantines, vaccines, health checks, everything. For example, Google "taking dog overseas". Plenty of countries already employ these protocols for dogs, these same protocols could be used as a basis for a human.

There could be an issue with scaling that. For example, 1.5 tons of food are sent via international shipping lanes per person, per year. Quarantine on every cargo ship would be problematic to say the least.

They already do that for food and livestock though. In fact food is even irradiated to kill bacteria when shipped.
