Coughs and colds

Covid is kicking in bigtime now in china, this is really their first proper wave, like us 2 years ago

It seems to me that anybody coming into the country from anywhere should be required to be put in secure quarantine for a month - and I mean really secure - somewhere like the Prison on Dartmoor.

Mc, You’re not alone in your thoughts, the problem with the availability of international travel is that a deadly virus can become apparent in a far flung country and within hours passengers from there have dispersed worldwide, and authorities are slow to react, our own government is a prime example. We can only hope that the China Covid crisis is not as serious as some have forecast. Dave W

Why - what would that do?

If visitors from overseas were monitored and quarantined, it would reduce the opportunity for the Covid to spread.

Telling people to self-isolate is a waste of time.

A better solution would be to ban all international travel completely but some people would complain.

The Government seems more interested in business than people.

I reckon they've all decided that the lesser evil is to get on with it now, just like the last 100,000 years of evolution

People can always choose to self-isolate

Seems to me that being locked up together would be the best way pass things on to one another.

If there were a problem with 'foreigners' coming here, then I'm sure the Government wouldn't be picking them up in the English Channel and housing them in hotels all around the UK - would they? After all, we know they "follow the science".

NOT if they were isolated in single cells

So a month in solitary confinement for a family of four, that want to visit family for two weeks.

Thank you, Doctor.

Ady 1, your not suggesting that we should rely on Darwin’s theory of Evolution are you. 🦕 Dave W

I did comment earlier that your view may differ.

Is this thread being satirical or edging a bit close to the "P" word....?

Deep breaths Nigel, deep breaths.

I tried deep breaths but it got me coughs and wheezes going.....
