But if they were coming here with Covid19 you could deal with the odd pocket of virus by isolating it, Problem is BoJo waited till the virus was established throughout the country before doing anything. Having the advantage of being surrounded by water, we could have stopped it by testing and quarantine at the borders he was so keen to 'take back control' of. That is not hindsight - we had plenty of notice before the virus got here. But he remained as 'idle and complacent' as his tutors said he was at Eton. Not even bothering to attend 5 Cobra meetings, but retaining all the power so the Government was paralysed without him Instead of blaming him, his spin doctors have got the innocent public blaming each other for sitting on park benches, driving 4 miles to take exercise, or going out more than once in a day. Same Old Tory Divide & Rule - they fall for it every time. BoJo's propoganda machine is about the only thing that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's changed this morning,it certainly didn't sound like they were going to to marched off to some holding facility. So, if that's the case, not really "quarantine" as such..

They went into isolation straight away.Fortunately they all survived it. Brian B. Good to hear that your friends got through it okay...:-D Can I ask, at that stage, were suspected cases being tested and mapped etc or were they just being told to stay home and "isolate"? (and it does seem ridiculous that at a time when some countries were looking to impose/had imposed restrictions, we were still having the likes of the 4 day Cheltenham festival!) The OH has at least one case of it in her family. At the moment, it's "just" her step-sister's father-in-law that's been diagnosed. But he's 93 and he lives alone...and that is where he is being left apparently? and because he has the OH's step-sister (or one of her grown up kids) call in on him everyday, that's put all of them into "self isolation" ! The OH is now really worried that her step-sister(and/or her family) have passed it to her 75 year old mum.... :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
