The EU does not need to complain as Boris has confirmed that there isn't a French exemption after all. https://www.ft.com/content/ddf6b198-...4-aef8b5d8fb06

On Sunday [10th May], Downing Street said a reciprocal deal with Paris meant quarantine restrictions would not apply to people arriving from France. In a joint statement, the British and French governments said: “No quarantine measures would apply to travellers coming from France at this stage; any measures on either side would be taken in a concerted and reciprocal manner.”
But on Friday [15th May] Number 10 comprehensively backtracked from the joint announcement. “There isn’t a French exemption. What the statement at the weekend said was that we would be working with the French in the coming weeks because co-operation is particularly necessary for the management of our common border,” a spokesman for the prime minister said.

Llamas to the rescue?

'Llamas are the real unicorns': why they could be our secret weapon against coronavirus
he solution to the coronavirus may have been staring us in the face this whole time, lazily chewing on a carrot. All we need, it seems, is llamas.
A study published last week in the journal Cell found that antibodies in llamas’ blood could offer a defence against the coronavirus. In addition to larger antibodies like ours, llamas have small ones that can sneak into spaces on viral proteins that are too tiny for human antibodies, helping them to fend off the threat. The hope is that the llama antibodies could help protect humans who have not been infected.
