Across the globe, record numbers of new coronavirus cases are being reported, in some cases in waves far worse than what we saw in the spring. Indeed the numbers are enough to make one want to go into hiding, preferably somewhere without any instances of the virus.
The options for this are few, and generally are Pacific Ocean islands where the inhabitants are experiencing the benefits of having a border consisting of vast bodies of water.
At press time, the World Health Organization lists 15 countries and territories that have reported zero cases. The list includes American Samoa, Anguilla, Cook Islands, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Kirbati, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Pitcairn Island, Saint Helena, Samoa, Tonga, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu, although two countries in particular, North Korea and Turkmenistan, have drawn skepticism from the international community about the accuracy of their health data.
