Quote:Another damning report has been released into the Government’s handling of the Coronavirus pandemic, this time revealing how ministers failed to properly utilise scientific advice.

Of particular note, the Institute for Government (IfG) report states that Chancellor Rishi Sunak did not consult scientific experts before launching his ‘Eat Out to Help Out’ scheme this Summer. The discount scheme, which provided cheaper meals to people visiting restaurants, was called “epidemiologically illiterate” by experts interviewed by the IfG.

A reminder for you. He said that in Feb 2020 (in my post I got it wrong as I said March ) but he actually said it on February 26 at which time the US had 60 cases.
Also on the same day 26th Feb TheWHO noted that "...14 countries that have had cases have not reported a case for more than a week, and even more importantly, 9 countries have not reported a case for more than two weeks: Belgium, Cambodia, Finland, India, Nepal, Philippines, the Russian Federation, Sri Lanka and Sweden.
So your attaching todays figures to what Trump said in Feb 2020 is basically fake news

I just read that article and wondered 2 things

1. are these people sensible
or
2. are they stupid


If they stay in Turkey for 10-11 days then legally what they are doing is fine. An extra holiday for much less than the Boris Hotel scheme but......
Once they do arrive back in the UK are they doing the quarantine at home like they are meant to? I doubt it - Boris & Co need to do physical checks on 100% of people coming back to make sure they are where they state they will be staying rather than the phone call they do for most of the 10% they currently check.

If they just do a couple off days and then lie about where they have been, I hope the feccers get a good hiding with the rubber hoses in the detention cells when immigration see the stamps in their passports proving they were lying.

No more so, than the first wave was China's fault

The four governments are lifting restrictions at roughly the same pace, and seem to be getting it about right.
