Yes!! Having had the bloody thing, I don’t want it again or for a variant to be worse!Covid in China: US imposes Covid testing for visitors from China
Several other countries have imposed restrictions on travellers from China as Covid cases surge.www.bbc.co.uk
also on cnn just been reported in Italy over 50% of incoming passengers from China on Wednesday tested positive for covid.
tbh was a bit of a rhetorical question, knowing how late johnson was just don't trust this government either to do the right thing.
Do you think early or late lockdowns made any difference? There are 16 European countries that had higher deaths than us, most locked down earlier and didn't have our obesity problem, so we actually done ok. These are facts that may be unpopular with people that have a problem with BJ.
not sure, what I do think is letting people in where more than 1/2 are carrying a virus ( possibly an unknown strain ) is questionable.
Not disagreeing mate, but the Johnson blame is a bit silly now the numbers are out. Back to China, I don't think it's a new variant for although it sounds bad, we have to remember that these people have vitamin D deficiency due to being locked in their homes for three years, compromised immunity through wearing masks and not mixing for three years. and a crap vaccine that apparently the elderly haven't had.
And what would those measures be?
I think requiring a negative covid test before being allowed to enter is a reasonable measure to take. Especially if it is true that a very large number of passengers from a particular country are arriving infected.
Mandatory testing at point of departure never worked due to let’s say “ineptitude”. Testing at point of arrival in UK was a Govt farce - simplest but unpalatable for many is total ban on arrivals from China and it’s territories - Tough action but after witnessing the terrible after effects of Covid in respiratory wards first hand (covid was bad enough but the life term damage it’s done to people’s respiration and lung function is unbelievable- sorry but that’s my opinion!
Never apologise for having an opinion, as compromise through tolerant dialogue is how we make a better world
I wish you wellNever apologise for having an opinion, as compromise through tolerant dialogue is how we make a better world
Nb: Had long Covid (weak lungs) for 18 months. I'm old, that's life...the young come first.
For me it would be less about the danger of new variants and more about the much increased rate of infection amongst people in this country.
Infections currently running at 2.5 million, which sounds about right as practically everyone I know has had it this month. On the up side, I don't know anyone that has been proper ill with it.
That's a fair point G.
