Only now this is being published-ignorance is bliss

Somebody tell Kier Starmer he said first thing he will do if elected as prime minister is restore freedom of movement

Then why are planes still flying with passengers

Fantastic news, now keep the welfare parasites out of Australia.

Your paper should cover this

Meanwhile, water is wet and cars are heavy

You don't need to be a genius to work that one out

Scientists stating the bloody obvious as usual. Take note British Airways, your too late to introduce stringent tests on passenger arrivals. Millions have poured in since March lock down. Disgusting state of affairs by government and British Airways.

Duh 🙄

P had been saying right from the start to shut borders up. Where are all these Johnny Come Latelys coming from¿

Nobel prize

Completely agree - why are we continuing to allow visitors from abroad to enter this country ? Other more informed countries with much lower cases of covid dont allow it.

Clickbait That's the type of science the Cabinet of Clowns will act on. Hearsay, not even in a published document & not peer reviewed. Plandemic

No air travel and if they do 21 days of compulsory quarantine in a hotel room

Really? And they only just figured that out. Restricting movement of people is one of the reasons for a lockdown.

Airplanes recycle the cabin airflow....don't know if the filters are designed for bio agents.

AndyBurnhamGM seeing as you seem concerned about about lifting restrictions too early, why have you never replied to me about Manchester airport still taking in from Pakistan multiple times a week. One of the worst countries for the virus.

You don't need to be a 'scientist' to know that!

WHO would have guessed....

And they still don’t close them and don’t plan on either.

As an island nation we should of been better placed than all of mainland Europe. We could of closed our borders and kept the virus out

As any ignoramus could have told you from January onwards we should have shut the borders.

u dont have to be a godamn scientist to know and discover this cmon

And some 'experts' have been saying this from the start. Why can you not Listen, 10DowningStreet BorisJohnson UKParliament UKHouseofLords?

Shut em all up holiday at home. Put you’re hard earned money back into the economy and lift us out of recession

ffs. i could have told them that is how it`s spread. can i calim the reward?

More specifically how many Chinese nationals flew into the UK between Jan and March compared to other countries....?

And why they should not. Time will tell.

Equal, I prefer closed borders Sorry.

No surprise there. The U.K. needs to have fewer flights into the airports, hopefully fare will rise and numbers will reduce

If borders weren’t closed why weren’t they closed and why have they let people get into some countries , have some sense if we keep people from going elsewhere it will help the virus from stop spreading

Common sense surely? Close the borders and test any repatriated nationals to contain the virus. I assumed they had dismissed this for economic reasons, are you saying scientists never suggested it? Find that hard to believe.

Rocket science.

It wouldn't matter if the UK did shut the border, most would come in via the Calais Taxi service.

Wow. Just wow. I knew this like many when this started, yet it never happen. Then we all wonder why it spread around the globe. Unfortunately no government what’s to make such a tough choice like that at the start of something no one knew to what was really going to happen

Particularly when incompetence of government decides that any type of medical control is pointless.

should install early detection facilities in the airports to screen passengers for their health status

No shit sherlock,, it really took this long to work that out ffs

No? Really? That might be because sailing ships and horseback are so last year.

How much did this person get paid to regurgitate common knowledge and how do I apply for a job? I've got a shit load of old news to share! 🤦‍♀️

VanessaEdmunds Captain obvious to the rescue.

No shit Sherlock

JESUS ! There bright wot is there nxt thought do bear sht in woods . britain let 18million people in since jan .and govt say they are following science Fkin criminal what the tories hav dun

VanessaEdmunds It's also likely, as I'm reading, that China weaponized the virus by intentionally sending infected Chinese to various parts of the world, which explains the odd patterns of distribution.

But when Trump was suggesting that in January you were pecking on him.. Lame Media Liberal Hacks DemonRats Communist Socialist are the root too all destruction.. always been

🤦‍♂️ Like we didn’t already know this

That’s not rocket science 🦠🙈

Brilliant!! 🙄

Gosh that's a massive surprise 🙈🙈🙈 How did it travel if it wasnt from a human, on a play going hundreds and thousands of miles

fear porn

Of course it started in China now it is found everywhere so, we kind of guessed out that.

Really It’s what’s we’ve been trying to tell the UK government for months . But no , 55k a week fly in untested checked or quarantined. 🤷‍♂️

Shocker. And which country has the most of flights?

No shit Sherlock!

Indeed! Brexit ClosedBorders and Swexit

Let’s just wreck the world economy now

I could have told you that and I'm not a 'scientist' . WTH people?

Wow I would never had known

It’s common sense! You don’t need scientists to tell you that 🙄😑

Well no shit, welcome to fight!?

All I can say is that on our Spanish neighbourhood site, many people are asking the best, quickest and cheapest way to drive to Spain. Wow all those extra cars on the road.

Another government fail keeping our airports open..

No shit, Sherlock; Air Travel as a major transmission vector was kinda obvious from the beginning..

Well you don't need to be scientist to work that out!

But but closed borders are racist.

I could have told u that ffs

Of course!! ✈️❌

No shit !

Yes we know

Chinese New Year. The whole country is on the move both inside and outside the country. Any wonder the virus spread.
