I agree that it wouldn't work. Even if the entire EU would agree to do it, we're still surrounded by other countries who might not do the same. And who's people will come into the EU whether we close the border or not. (the guy who beheaded someone in France came to the EU illegally over the Mediterranean 2 or 3 days prior.) Thinking an eridication strategy would've worked would've been a worse plan than lowering the curve I think. We couldn't keep it out even if we wanted to. And yes, on that aspect, it's a huge difference to be an island far away from other countries.
