Stopping world travel would’ve worked it out better. Like New Zealand and Australia. Suppression strategy with vaccines would have a solid effect.

Here's an interesting geological fact about New Zealand and Australia: they're both islands! Believe it or not, it's much easier to control population flow into an island, than it is over a land border.

The uk is an Island too and it didn't seem to help them

Why is it hard to police a land border? Cameras and weapons are effective deterrents.

Not really, Australia is an continent not an island.

And to be precise, only Europe and Asia are connected by land borders (suez canal, panama canal).

More, UK is an island, also Ireland, Japan... and they don't have much less cases then the rest of the world

The movement of people is a good thing. Hence stamping it out would have a huge cost, both emotionally and financially. The vaccines are comparatively cheap.
