Since I contributed to the border discussion... to be clear, I think we're too weak-willed to do anything. But, closing international travel would do a lot to reduce spread of new variants. Recall the first variants came with business and leisure travelers returning from Europe and Asia.
And that's a good part of the reason it's hard to establish a travel quarantine. If only Covid would check for low bank balances before spreading, it'd be much easier to place travel restrictions. If the wealthier people "leaders" could make pandemic control decisions without impacting their own lives, the pandemic would have ended last May.
For general pandemic control, we've seen the various states have rapid case growth and rapid case declines at different times with open interstate travel. While I think travel restrictions help with pandemic containment, it's clear we can make dramatic progress without a travel quarantine. I'm in the get rid of covid fast camp, so favor all solutions cheaper than say $1 trillion (including travel and border and spring break restrictions).

Variants don't have to come from abroad. The same variants found abroad can be home grown domestically as well. Recent Radiolab episode on old dude from UK who started with the original strain and then his body started growing all the various variants found throughout the world. The original virus mutated to at least 10 different variants inside his body, with each new variant out competing the last to become the dominant variant in his body:

A friend sent me this. Interesting to see the COVID numbers between WA and AZ who had significantly different responses to the pandemic..
Maybe masks, social distancing work, and government regulation work? Probably just the liberals inflating the numbers..

Arizona's median age is 37.9 vs 37.7 for WA. 36 in US vs 38 respectively. Lots of Mormons in AZ and Mormons make a state's average age young (Utah is the youngest by a lot, 31 median age).

I'm surprised Austin didn't roll with his go-to trope of AZ being closer to the Southern border and increased relative deaths being due to all those filthy Messkins bringing teh COVIDs across the border from Nogales... or so his sister's hairdresser's cousin says on Facebook.

I was really just applauding their generosity and social responsibility. They definitely have the same problems as many other tribes do, but they also have significant income streams and (what appears to be from an outside observer) competent governance.

FWIW, The Navajo Nation once had high COVID-19 case rates but is now experiencing very low infection rates and deaths. Nearly 90% of Navajos have received at least one vaccine dose. The Navajo Nation will begin to reopen based on high vaccination rate and falling cases.
