The Aussie Way

While not, in the main, a Covid story, it does end up being involved with Covid. A long dog's journey into flight. But here's the punch line:

[Pipsqueak, the dachshund] was scheduled to fly to Sydney on August 3, but the state of Victoria imposed a strict lockdown once Pip arrived and the borders between Victoria and New South Wales were closed.
[my emphasis]

Wouldn't it be nice if the intelligent Blue Cities of the USofA could do the same? Lock up those Red State Trumpsters to kill themselves off.
