The bans weren't there before why bother now?
I think travel bans should have been in place earlier but just because the government cocked that up doesn't mean they should never have a travel ban in the future.
Is England still getting a few areas of high infection and death.
Yes.
Are people from those areas stopped from travelling or interacting with others?
For some reasons, yes. Eg if you live in Leicester you can travel to your job in Nottingham but you can't visit your parents in Nottingham.

That is the thing, there weren't travel bans but there weren't any checks or control on people landing. That has to be more than a cock up.

If it is so hard, why bother ;)
You are coming across, to me at least, as defending the acts of the Uk government and the actions. The bans weren't there before why bother now? There seems to be missing the point of how the infection rates are calculated, and how the UK calculated covid deaths falsely, yet has still the highest of the EU. Is England still getting a few areas of high infection and death. Are people from those areas stopped from travelling or interacting with others?
The first thing is are the UK and other countries using the same basis for testing so are infection rates comparable, are even the death rates calculated the same way? If infection rates equate to a similar number of deaths, as you would expect in the first world, why is there a difference.
That is a very simplistic view, you do see that? Especially as there is little understanding of covid and how it affects some and later effects too.
