Here's a Thought

From what I have read and heard about this EI disaster, it seems to me that it's spread is unstoppable. Even if you are in a so called 'safe area" IE amber or green zone. Seriously, what is to stop it spreading to those areas? If it can travel airborne what it to stop it crossing over between the zones? If it travels 5-8 kms on a gust of wind what is going to stop it blowing over the border of NSW and Victoria and so on and so on? We are currently in an amber zone but are so close to a restricted zone (red) that it could only be a matter of time before that "imaginary" dividing line is moved.

The only buffer zone I can see is if it occurs around and infected property to the extent of 10kms plus with no other neighbouring horses (including wild horses) In other words no horses for 10 kms between. Pretty hard in some areas that are highly horse populated such as most rural areas.
