??there are still 15,000 or so incoming people, from some very virus riven Countries, flying into the UK daily without even the most cursory of examinations or assessments at the airports //(Togo)
These are generally British citizens being brought home, so they deserve our help.
I am concerned that they might all be sitting in close proximity on the plane if the planes are anything more than a third full, and if people are still standing close together at check-ins and luggage carousels.
However I diagree that many are coming from countries that are more virus ridden than London/UK since our figures compare unfavourably with most others so they are less likely to be a risk than someone who's already here.
Anyway, so long as they follow the rules/guidance re 2m distancing, stay at home, self isolation and shielding as required they should be no more of a risk.
We could quarantine them but how would that work? Would they be put in hotels for 2 weeks? Escorted home and monitored?
I can see that bringing 15000 a day in, untested, a proportion will have it or get it and put pressure on the NHS, so we should test before flying and on landing
