Well if you think that is going to work why are we banning direct flights from Sth Africa?
Quote from: EasyforDennis on January 25, 2021, 12:45:24 pmWell if you think that is going to work why are we banning direct flights from Sth Africa? Strange response, seems to work for other countries.We went through the exact same procedure last December. It has worked exceptionally well in countries that we are operating in. My son, who is due to fly to the Cayman islands shortly is having to go through the same procedure and in addition to isolating in a hotel has to wear an ankle locator so that the authorities will be informed if the isolation is broken. That can work for small islands but inflating that to many thousands might not be so easy.

We are now after almost a year possibly going to put people into forced strict isolation in hotels. This should have been done months ago but like everything the government do. Too little too late.
I think EfD is saying that isolation isn't working SM. That's how I read it.

But that's not been the discussion, under the new regulations brought in because of the SA virus we've seen direct flights banned, compulsory PCR testing and isolation which is now becoming compulsory with allocated hotels.As I've repeated over and over, compulsory PCR testing has worked in other countries, why not here? I mentioned it in my original post, as below;But all arrivals into the U.K. must isolate for 10 days, produce a locator form and have a negative pcr test issued within 72 hours of travelling.Pretty much the same as every other country in the world, so why is that an issue?

People arent following lockdown rules in this country as it i. Many of those arriving in the UK will be the same. If you had seen tv this morning you would have seen that border control officials cannot cope now and it will only get worse. Many of those PCR forms are not in English and some may not even be genuine.

Seriously EfD, if you want to wake up every morning and look for the negative in this world go ahead, be my guest.It's one of the main reasons I hardly contribute in the Off Topic section, everybody here seems to be hell bent on being outraged at everything, all the time. I just find it a waste of time and effort.

Just listened, yes on talkradio while walking the dog, to a virologist who said that the South American, Kent, and South African, mutations are basically one and the same virus that is adapting to obstacles in place to do what virus's do to attack the human body. The geographical labels put on them because of where they were first detected somewhat gives a false impression as it would be possible for it to basically develop the same in England as South Africa, the common denominator and main breeding grounds being the more populace areas.
