#coronvirusuk
A friend just went to 4 asian countries. He's back now and self isolating. His comment
"In every country we passed through we were strictly monitored at the border for contagion. Including IR fever technology.
Except one.
The UK.
Checks were completely lacking."

@patel4witham is content to play politics at the home office while forgetting her day job is to manage border security.
@BorisJohnson is writing a book in the full knowledge that the day job is protecting the realm.
How countries respond in first days defines viral spread

This is what happens when you elect people who have learned nothing about delivery.
Instead these populist idiots have learned everything about politics, bigotry and rabble rousing...
Just what you don't need in a healthcare crisis.

In Singapore 6 weeks ago they had 1 infection. 6 weeks later they have 100. This comes from very strict border control and management.
In the UK a week ago we had 1 case, now we're approaching 200...
Have a guess which country has a competent Government.

The friend?
His closing comment is that after travelling around Asia (hopefully) unexposed...he thinks his chances of acquiring #coronvirusuk are HIGHER in the UK than there simply due to Government incompetence.
"you can't believe anything they say since #Brexit lies"

Asked him to compare UK with the countries.
Summary:
On arrival in plane briefing
Symptom explanation
Queueing through fever scanners
Information on self isolation
& Incubation.
Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Dubai.
UK
Bugger all.

I'm getting people making excuses for our Government now; we don't have the resources etc.
Ignoring that that is also their fault, you can see very clearly how #coronavirusuk has been spreading here.
Notice just how little it spread in ground zero - China.
Interesting?

No. China is not suppressing cases anymore; this is WHO verified.
So what did they do?
Well, in common with other places like Singapore, they very directly and aggressively managed air travel.
Outside of wuhan they didn't stop it. They did the things described in this thread.

So is border force so depleted under #Brexit take back control that it can't triage?
If there are 3 thermal cameras in the county they should be at heathrow, Stanstead and Gatwick. @patel4witham should be sitting there using them. So far she hasn't even visited airports.

Or maybe she doesn't know where to get them.
Well this is the Amazon list. She's a wealthy lady. In a day she could get very airport equipped.

The excuses from brexiters:
Singapore too small
IT'S ABOUT CITY PROTECTION
Singapore just one city
CHINA outside Wuhan
No resources
Bull...if so TRIAGE (and your fault)
No expertise
OH REALLY SO WHY DO THIS WHILE CLAIMING WE WERE #BREXIT PREPARED?⏬

But more to the point. Our Government is completely as utterly incompetent on border management driving the 3rd largest growth rate in corona cases?
Why on earth would you ignore that, and take the time to defend them.
Are you sociopaths?

PS. Some question about effectiveness of screening via IR for fever and the fact that the virus got through in, for example, Italy or Malta which had screening...
Some points to consider.
1. Fever is one of the most common symptoms -67-80% (see next tweet WHO report)

2. Airport measures are key to the improved china situation - low spread. ⏬WHO

3. Even if you think China is supressing cases in other cities (didn't work in Wuhan). They're the world's most experienced. So on what basis can our Gov take a another path?

4. The countries with the most sophisticated airport measures have controlled the virus the best.
Why are we not copying them exactly?
5. IR wasn't meant to stop the virus. It was meant to slow it. We haven't, other countries have.

If you care about this read the WHO reports, all of them. Ask.
Why is PP home office chaos is more important thb borders?
Why Json is writing a book ffs
Why MH claims about meeting supermarkets about food supplies are all lies.
Because we elected populists, not competents.

Some asked if the Government can be prosecuted for resulting deaths?
The question is beautiful. In a functioning democracy, of course, they could be...
I Warn you. The next bit isn't going to lower your blood pressure.
Ok, let's list all the ways UK Politicians escape justice.

1. Corporate Manslaughter ❌y
Most Gov depts are immune, but YAY, Home Office isn't!
The act is v clear. Gov Depts aren't immune...but small print.
Work and safety death? ✅ Your spouse can prosecut
But if Priti kills millions...that's policy. Exempt.

2. Gross Negligence Manslaughter❌
Theoretically, we should be able to prosecute the lot of them on the ⏬ img below.
Unfortunately, the last Tory Government ensured that risk was eliminated.
Remember 1 - corporate manslaughter? Did away with number 2 for any "organisations."

3. Misconduct in Public Office. ❌
OK, this looks good ⏬img.
Wilfully neglects to perform duty and/or misconducts himself. Looks like Priti and Json?
Unfortunately, unless we can prove fraud, acting outside of role, unsanctioned or terrorism, case law has them protected.

4. Fraud? Bribery? Acting for self instead of state? Party over country ❌❌❌❌
I won't go on.
Where you would be criminally liable, Ministers exempted themselves in law. Or Governments created case law so there is no way to prosecute
They're even immune to fraud*
*long story

But that's an OUTRAGE.
THOSE BASTARDS CAN LITERALLY GET AWAY WITH MURDER.
Yup.
You'd have thought a free press would be all over this right?
Be careful who you're reading. We don't have a free press. It's almost all owned by a Cabal in cahoots with the Conservative party.

How are they stopped?
The reason so many of us were worried at the end of the last Parliament is there are only 3 controls.
Backbench MPs
The Lords
The High Court.
Json controls one. And is actively undermining the other 2.

It seems like there are a lot of Cummings social media bots / #brexit sunlit uplands trolls out there with the message that #coronavirus is just like flu and the UK Government is managing it just fine...
It's not

The focus of this thread is #Corvid19 / #coronavirus air transport and airport measures in which the authors have experience.
Additional commentary is incidental - we claim no medical or treatment expertise.
We are highly critical of UK Gov ineptitude.

Despite Johnson's ballyhoo today, the UK's airports are NOT prepared for #Corvid19 / #coronavirusuk

1. Airport Security
The UK continues to be the only major economy that has not put in place full W.H.O. Guidelines for Airport Controls
The WHO has been clear on numerous occasions that aggressive airport defence is required since corvid speads via city clusters (covered above)

1.1 Airports Procedures
Are shambolic. The UK is occasionally monitoring flights from China. Other flights are not routinely monitored, despite most cases now originating outside China.
Finally Press doing it's job - flights from North Italy - no checks, not even advice.

1.2 Evidence
The experts are WHO and China. UK must follow effective procedures from China, who have built on SARS learning.
Ministers are grossly negligent to ignore this
If resources lacking we should TRIAGE. The guidelines. Explicit ⏬. UK COMPLIANCE. RED. BAD. NOT done.

Note how effective China was stopping city spread post Wuhan. Then look at UK growth.
We will always have idiot voices creating conspiracy theories about further China cover ups
NB
1. The Wuhan cover ups DIDNT work
2. Until proved otherwise they are the best experts we have.

1.3 WHO Airport Guidelines.
This thread started by observing the complete lack of Border controls in the UK vs developing markets in Asia.
We cannot deny the evidence above. Moreover the W.H.O. HAS issued it's own explicit guidelines

Finally WHO doesn't yet madate status and symptom tracking of in and outbound visitors, though they do support procedures in countries that do this.
This is to ensure that steps of anyone arriving healthy leaving sick can be tracked.
Common sense.
UK of course NOT doing this

1.4 How is the UK performing in the 6 main areas of China Best Practice and WHO Guidelines?
Outside very limited China flights, this is the impossible picture...
1. Detection ❌
2. Interview ❌
3 Reporting ❌
4. Isolation ❌
5. Mandated inflight briefings ❌
6. Educational ❌

Note anticipating a Gov lie. WHO did in January suggest no airport screening - too many resources, too few benefits*
However that advice was changed following China evidence.
Did Priti Patel miss this?
*UK takes the huge resource no benefit approach to #Brexit. Why not Corona?

1.4 Speculation. Johnson may use the defense most common in UK Gov twitter bots - that
"airport protections can't stop this"
Egregious incompetence aside, this is ALSO deliberate obfuscation, .M criminally misleading
These checks are designed to SLOW NOT stop viral progress.

We claim no medical creds but we must point out:
Tory and UKGov twitter bots/farms are suggesting Corvid is "just the flu" Huge lie⏬
The profile for over 60s is worse than 1918 Spanish flu.
The first job for fake news team is to investigate itself.

Where is the UK Press?
The story is relevant.
It's of intense National and Global importance
It demonstrates corruption at the heart of Government.
It's not even much effort to get the data.
I wonder. Can we science this with simple Spock logic?
