I was gonna be like "well, I dunno, Iceland is pretty isolated" but then I remembered another island location. Bornholm got through pretty well. I yeah, I guess you're right. Islands in general would probably be pretty okay!
I've heard the same re: northern Japan. Since cold winters are pretty good at holding grosslings back, that would be great for them.
The disease definitely made it to the USA http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=47 Which makes me wonder how things went down over there. And how long it took for things like the internet to collapse. Looks like it's still up by Day 40, otherwise there wouldn't be a way for Iceland to get hold of that photo, but ????
As for Australia, I dunno... they're isolated, but they're also freaking huge, so it'd be harder to shut themselves off than it would be for someplace smaller, wouldn't it? Their beasts might not actually be THAT scary though, I mean most of the horror stories you hear about Australia are reptiles/fish/spiders/etc, none of which can catch the illness. So, as far as mammals go, the scariest beasts would probably be... dingoes, kangaroos, and... what else? Like, platypuses are poisonous, but they're also tiny....
