He thinks he's Churchill, but he's far closer to Chamberlain or Eden

Churchill was a sexist, racist, egotistical drunkard who had affairs .

Boris does sound more like that than the others you have mentioned, just a much more ineffectual version.

Re: Coronavirus update

no, see my post above, in the case we are discussing, you could become infected at the departure airport, but the test would not show positive in a test at the arrival airport, they think it takes a few days till a test would show positive

They don't know how long it takes to produce a positive result from infection. However, it has nothing to do with incubation periods which is what your first post implied.

Re: Coronavirus update

Seoul back into lockdown ( well bars and cafes closing again )

i guess this will be the new norm for a while

It highlights just how stupid it would be to relax the lockdown in the UK now. We have not established a decline in new cases, and deaths are still high.

Interestingly, 40 cases are linked to one night club which was visited by a 29 year old who went on to test positive (South Korea are using massive testing and tracing to monitor the outbreaks). That is not implying that the 29 year old went on to infect 40 people, but it is pinpointing a specific location as a common factor. South Korea's first wave makes ours look like a tsunami.

Re: Coronavirus update

Quarantine now for airline passenger arrivals.
Surely with Boris saying there will be 200,000 tests they can just test them on arrival. Then quarantine if necessary.

they think incubation period is a few days, so they might have come into contact in the departure airport, if we tested them on arrival they would still be negative

They don't know how long it takes to produce a positive result from infection. However, it has nothing to do with incubation periods which is what your first post implied.

i did not mean incubation till the person showed symptoms, i quoted Hilts who mentioned tests at the airports, i used a example of coming into contact / being infected at the departure airport and a test at the destination airport ( unless they flew around the world 7 times ) would still be negative, as i said the governments expert said they think it can take a few days from contact and infection till a test would show positive

And he knowingly allowed 4 million Indians to starve to death while diverting food elsewhere.

It is the way these days, all our great leaders were bad people, everything we did in the world was bad and Prime Ministers have to apolgise for something that happened 100 years ago when the world was a very different place.

It makes me sick!!!!
