It's not something that spontaneously arises in 1 in 1m of the population, it has to be introduced and spread.

Eg if 2 tourists from Wuhan arrive in Northern Italy whilst heavily infected, then they are going to spread it to other tourists, who then return home.

So do planes from Wuhan only fly "full" into London but one or two passengers into other countries? Do infected Europeans only cross Schengen borders in small numbers?

Your post, and links, are entirely speculative and unsurprisingly structured in a way to absolve our Government of any responsibility at all.
