The absolutely inhumane and incompetent practices of @ukhomeoffice have ruined my academics and mental health. I was supposed to be in #Glasgow to attend @UofGlasgow @UofGEngineering for semester 2 but my visa was refused.
The refusal wouldn't have hurt if u had genuinely made some mistake. But i had meticulously checked every detail and made sure that I had included all the required documents.
So, I had applied for priority visa through @VFSGlobal on 16th November, 2021 spending around Rs. 1,23,000 (~1230 GBP) and completed my biometrics on 22nd Nov hoping to get a decision within 5 days. I recieved this follow up email on 24th. Note the [insert relevant mailbox] 
1/1 Let's target #SmartLockdown to address *unavoidable* contact patterns of the precarious #keyWorkers who carry most risk with #SupportToIsolate strategies. #tier4 #lockdown #ThinkLikeAModellerStingLikeABee. Here's why. jackiecassell.com/time-to-suppor…
2/3 #EssentialWorker jobs, overcrowded #housing, shared #transport, #unpaidcare roles, lack of money - these are major *mechanisms* of transmission, not just statistical associations. See jackiecassell.com/time-to-suppor… & @FinancialTimes #smartlockdown #tier4 #lockdownuk
3/3 This @PHE report says it all. Even before #newvariant effect, we knew it's the people who are out there working who carry our #Covid19 risk. We need a #SmartLockdown that supports every #Essentialworker to #SelfIsolate #tier4 #lockdown gov.uk/government/pub…
So *how" to slow this @chrischirp? What is a #smartlockdown? #EssentialWorkers are exposed to many unavoidable contacts. We've offloaded nearly all #Covid19 risk on precarious keyworkers. #tier4 #lockdown #SupportToIsolate. Blog jackiecassell.com/time-to-suppor… & @FinancialTimes
We *know* this happened in Toronto. Data from UK? #TestandTrace @PHE_uk Let's have a #smartlockdown if we have to move away from #Tier4

Huge queues formed at Heathrow Airport as travellers rushed to avoid travel bans on arrivals from the UK.
With only days until Christmas, many hoped to avoid being stranded in the UK

Wow!!!
Since July, the UK’s #COVID19 response is run by the secretive #JointBiosecurityCentre
The #JBC doesn’t share the science that leads them to take decisions
They haven’t released any minutes in 8 months
This lack of transparency makes proper scrutiny of govt decisions difficult

Decisions on UK #COVID19 response are formulated by the #JointBiosecurityCentre in Silver meetings
Recommendations are then made in Gold meetings & implemented by the govt
No minutes
No scrutiny
No transparency
No accountability
Who is in the #JBC?
Cummings?
Warner brothers?

Residents across @Royal_Greenwich will be in #tier4 from midnight - whilst many people will be understandably be upset about losing #christmas celebrations, it is absolutely vital we all work together across #Greenwich to deal with this new and immediate challenge. Some points ⬇️
1. The rate of infection across #greenwich is climbing incredibly quickly. Tonight, we are at 387/100,000 and our positivity rate is now 12%. @Royal_Greenwich
2. We have tonight been advised that the new strain of #covid19 is highly transmissible. Action is therefore needed to address this. We must do everything we can collectively to reduce our interactions with people as much as possible across #greenwich @Royal_Greenwich
Meanwhile in #France,
"the peak of this second wave is over"
(according to the President in his Adress to the Nation):

Wait... "the peak is over" doesn´t mean "it´s back to normal"!
Confinement will only fall on December 15,
if there´s less than 5.000 new cases a day.
(today it´s ~9.000).
France is disappointed.🙁
Although they certainly can make it happen.

Good news: fastest decrease in infections happens in the worst hit areas now.

As #COVID19 cases are found to spread, #Melbourne (city of ~5 million) tries to contain them by going into #Lockdown.

"People acting as if the pandemic was over was 'not the answer, it is part of the problem' ".
"The virus had leaked from postcodes already under the stay-at-home orders to other parts of #Melbourne."
(and beyond, it is feared).

Due to #Melbourne's outbreak, neighbouring South Australia is about to completely close it's borders to #Victoria.
(Nearly) no exceptions. And those essential few who are allowed in, will have to wear facemasks the entire time...

Vorpommern-Greifswald district (where rejections of #Gütersloh residents took place, yesterday)
has specific rules:
"Those who return from international risk areas (out of Germany) or whose Corona-Warning App has alerted them, need to report to authorites"

In fact, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Corona-ordinance really prohibits entry of people from international risk areas AND german risk areas as well.
