Would you agree that the world (and as much as i like to bash Boris it's not just him) has slept walked into this situation? Whilst COVID-19 is relatively new to the western hemisphere. It's been a known issue since late November in China & Hong Kong. (I was temperature scanned in HKG airport at the end of January. whilst on a business trip.)


I can't help but feel there's been a degree of 'It will never happen here' taken by those in charge globally.
