14 day home quarantine

[nightrider]

Just been reading that the govement are going to try make it so you have to have 14 stay at home if you go abroad when you come back to include all ports and ferrys , have just rebooked my 5 day trip for end of August this will fuck everyone up and no one will go ,they did not stop any one coming back in for the 8 week lockdown now after all of Europe starts to open up they trying to bring in a 14 day quarantine ffs ..

 Not many people will be able to go for a fortnights holiday then go into quarantine for two weeks but how ,will they police it. However £1000 fine if caught breaking it.

I think the Government are going to impose this because they were criticised for not doing so initially as other countries did, Australia being a prime example. As of today, Australia have only 100 deaths from Covid 19. Regardless of the population pro-rata between Australia and us, the outcome for the Aussies is a clear indication that they addressed the problem in the correct manner as did new Zealand. 


I understand that initially Australia were relying on returning nationals to self isolate for 14 days in their homes of their own accord but when this was monitored it was found that many were not doing so and therefore mandatory stays in hotels were implemented for 14 days.


It worked.

I've got to say that the Gov't may have got some things wrong, but they have got a whole lot of things right, there is no precedent with this virus, they are obviously trying to do their best in impossible circumstances... sometimes they are damned if they do and damned if they don't

Hindsight is a very precise science    

[mcfroyce44]

Easy to snipe when the decisions are theoretical. 
Piers Morgan, if you're such an expert on everything stand for election.
At least the Govt decided to take advice from the scientists and follow that advice. As you say, no hindsight available to help until now.

Piers Morgan.... I won't beat about the bush, who else thinks he's an arrogant, patronising, argumentative prick?

Me for one, hence why I no longer watch him, or for that matter most national news programs.

All of those things but the politicians are frightened to face him!

All of those things but the politicians are frightened to face him!

God knows why .

[PRD]

Because they don't Know the answers.

[Lonewolf]

Because they don't Know the answers.

Does anyone honestly, unequivocally know the answers?

[O.C.]

No Steve, they generally don't,     

One question I have, and there may be no answer for is, why are pricks like Piers Morgan hailed as 'champions' by some folk
