We have had similar types of articles appear here in New Zealand in our media.
On talk back radio they were talking about it tonight as well.
To be honest I think you will find borders will reopen soon as no country can survive on it's on.
Some European countries are already allowing greater travel.
You may also find that challenges as to the legality of the lockdowns world wide in Courts of Law will have an impact on things as and when those cases are heard.
European Union Courts of Law gave a directive to ensure Europe adhere with the law & address matters in accordance with the law & expeditiously. In other words no mucking around & stuffing up the economy or the health of all people.
The longer the lock down the greater the fallout...
I understand Norway had not planned or intended on closing borders and it was not in it's pandemic plans from last year.
One of there representatives was interviewed on BBC today about the situation in Norway & wider world and mentioned the economic impacts which most unfortunately some people failed to factor into account.
There's an airline operator in the UK challenging the validity of it of the lawfulness of various matters which is worth while looking up & following.
Airlines have been seriously impacted on and are our friends... They transport our guests..
Do remember Australia is a Commonwealth country as are 52 other countries who have the Queen as our Head of State.
Since when have we had no laws???
Keep smiling folks all will be back up & running with STR & LTR as we have known it.
Ask any young person who had planned to travel internationally how they feel about closed borders...Thank goodness we are in election year.
