Barryd999 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Bulletguy - 2021-01-26 5:42 PM An Australian news reporter on tv this morning was telling how they quarantine there. He'd just returned from working outside Oz so is currently in quarantine. He, and other returning citizens were taken by coach direct from the airport under police escort to the hotel used for quarantine. He was then escorted by to his hotel room where he has to stay for 14 days. No balcony or opening windows and meals are delivered to his locked room. £1700 for 14 days......and they have to pay up front. Bargain!! Would this work in Brexit Blighty? No opening windows would be a bit grim. I would imagine these will be either airport hotels or hotels near an airport here in the UK. From experience they are not cheap. If they are to become compulsory quarantine hotels whats the betting they suddenly become more expensive? More than that £1700 I would guess for sure. It would work here if it was the same regime and not "Oh just go off and find a hotel and behave yourself". I guess it would stop all but absolutely essential travel but only if it was totally enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all Johnson was always singing the praises of Oz land so lets' see if he got the balls to have folk taken straight from aircraft to hotel on coaches under police escort and stuck in a locked hotel room for 14 days. I don't think he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpstart Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 It all depends on your health. If as a country there is more obesity, heart conditions,diabetes and the Health system cant cope then there are likely to be more deaths. It doesnt matter the number of people in the country. Look after you gut biome if you want to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my 2nd jab it states, "you will be contacted at a later date but government guidance is 12 weeks to get more national coverage". UK has access to 357 million doses of vaccine.
