        Much more so than being an island, the fact that most of the eight states and territories instituted domestic border closures was pretty significant and made contact tracing viable.

        Even internally within states, there were hard borders for some major cities and regional areas with larger numbers of vulnerable First Nations people.

        Yeah you're right, the only reason the US has issues with covid is because Mexicans and Canadians keep crossing the border and spreading it

          Or Mexico and Canada are in worse shape covid-wise as a result of their shared border with America

            Of course they could have restricted entry and forced all entrants to quarantine but that would be too effective
