Contrasting Approaches

I've been speaking to our neighbour- who has just completed two weeks quarantine after flying in from Hong Kong.

Hong Kong has kept its shops and eateries open but insists on masks being worn on the streets and staff with temperature-taking guns being posted at the doors of all public buildings.

Very different from the British set up.

She arrived at Heathrow expecting to be rigorously checked and tested and there was nothing...

Hong Kong- small island, small population- has largely dodged the virus: very few cases, very few deaths. Britain on the other hand...

Just when are we going to learn?

[poliphilo]

Probably never. Have you seen the footage of the crowds on the London Underground?

[cmcmck]

Yup- Bojo and co want cake and eat it.

Go back to work but we won't provide a full public transport service nor any safety while you do so.

If this keeps up, we're going to be forced back into car ownership which is something we swore we'd never do again!

This could be the moment when I stop giving the government the benefit of the doubt.
