The state where I live is has closed borders. Restricted movement within the state. In a country with closed borders.
Firewalled, on several levels, if you will.
Not absurd. Quarantine. Many countries are managing it. Those quarantined supervised physically or electronically to ensure compliance.
Has it destroyed the economy? No, it has helped keep it running.
