so how do you see england, within the uk, for example, because england is, in a sense, the last to impose a strict set of rules. scotland has been seen as the outlier in the uk. we have talked about wales and northern ireland and scotland, and the idea was to move quickly, use the half term break when schools were off to get numbers low and the question is, once they are low, you keep them there while you try and get back some normality and keep the economy going? that is where border restrictions become important and coming back to european to european countries, european countries have been loath to do this, they have not wa nted been loath to do this, they have not wanted to stop movement in and out of their borders and it is why islands have done so well. to be an islands have done so well. to be an island in 2020 is a gift because you can control and prevent and catch infections at ports of entry, at airports. if you have a land border like germany, i know they have considered this, land borders with nine countries, how do you stop traffic across those, especially when you are part of the eu? it has to bea when you
