Europe had a far better chance of identifying imported cases so wouldn't, managed properly of course, require the same level of quarantine.

No more arbitrary than the nonsense that the UK government is hiding behind.

If we applied the same logic globally in 2003 we could have developed herd immunity to the original SARS. Just lost a few on the way.

The vast majority of Coronavirus cases in the UK will now not be counted and we can pretend it was a huge success.

When we inevitably close schools - probably the week after next - what happens to all the old people nomadking is so concerned about?
