How about the doors being to planes?

The cheap flight was what made this epidemic a pandemic.

We can continue lockdown until everyone who has got it has recovered and is no longer infected. This is a matter of weeks and we are mostly there.

Once we get to no new cases per week for a couple of weeks then we can end the lockdown and get on with our lives.

To prevent reinfection then anyone that flies in gets quarantined unless they come from a plague free country. The same applies to other border crossings, e.g. ferries and roads.

This approach works with rabies in the UK and with other historical plagues. No widespread daily testing is needed this way just the health service testing we have now.

This approach is the only realistic option using what we can do now. However there is little talk of quarantine being used for those that fly. Quarantine means forty days.
