[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6869563, member: 2119"] we had plenty of time to implement a gradual ramp down of non essential air travel starting 1st january. First we should have stopped all residents leaving the country unless on critical business. Next we should have asked British citizens abroad to take the opportunity to return home by mid feb or risk being locked out. The airports should have been closed to incoming foreign tourists on 1st january. Those here should have been given a deadline to leave by the end of january. It was utter madness that schools were still going to Italy for skiing trips in mid February, all passing through Milan airport almost at the epicentre of the virus in Italy. Every case in this district was initially “somebody who returned from Italy” before they spread it into the community. I don’t think we tried hard enough. The WHO initially said there was no proof of human to human transmission and have never admitted air travel is the perfect mechanism for uncontrolled rapid spread. The WHO is an abysmal failure IMO. So instead of taking the hit on just the tourism industry we have brought our entire economy to its knees and endangered the lives of millions. We gave up the fight before it had even started.
