Try doing that in Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, London etc etc. And we have too many people within easy reach, like Nottingham is about as far away from the sea as you can get and that is about 80miles, not 800 or several thousand.
Closing roads ( known here as border restrictions) is easy. The main thing along with isolating aspects of the population that has resulted in BAU in here is Hotel Isolation of incoming Aussies. Which the UK has only just introduced. You can google it I cant be arsed to post stats but its saved this country along with the other thing that always has and always will - The Tyranny of distance. Hope all are well. COYP. QP.
