If that's all you've got, then it's obvious I know more about the issues surrounding Brexit than you do.
It is obvious, in hindsight, that the single European currency was an epically stupid idea. With disastrous outcomes for countries like Greece and Spain. The UK did well to keep its own currency. I would still say that the EU was a good idea BUT it did seem to overreach its original purpose, in some ways, over the past couple of decades. Right wing policies such as free movement of labour were dressed up as progressive, left wing policies, and have served to fan the flames of right wing populism.
The EU is surely starting to regret those open borders? Especially the countries with land borders with Italy.

In the meantime the spread of the virus could be accelerated by people attempting to flee major outbreaks. What are the advantages of open borders? Particularly for a working class Brit, for example?
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.
