This is a totally mad and ill thought out policy... because when you land at say Heathrow you get on a packed underground train, or a bus, or hire a taxi to take you to your end destination, for example the local supermarket to buy 14 days of food.... So between the airport and your quarantine destination you will have potentially infected thousands of people!!!!! The government says it will carry out spot checks (by phone) to check people are self quarantining... anyone found not to be self quarantinging will be fined.
This is one of the stupidist ill thought out policies in creation.
But at least the UK is welcoming anyone from anywhere. The US has a total lock down from Brits to go to US, so 600th Square, I'll swap places with you  |
I spent a lovely week in England last May. I think of trying to do that now. What, get a hotel room for two weeks and stay in the room, eating room service? How could I possibly afford that? And only then step outside to see the country? It’s tough. But even without that, would I do it now? It’s a bit like I would feel stepping into a wading pool filled with snakes. Just a bit squeamish.
