You'll probably find similar remarks from workers in most factories

However it doesn’t say that. Those from Goa are legitimately obtaining Portugese passports, in line with the law there and the end of Portugese rule allowing some to apply for Portugese nationality (and their children, and grandchildren).

You do understand that if they couldn't get away with paying less than minimum wage then there would be a crack down on people from Goa?

Presumably not collecting income tax or paying national insurance contributions either. But hey, the enemy is the guy working for £2.50 an hour just in case they starve.

Re: Coronavirus
The BBC 6pm news said that the virus is found in sewage up to a week before people show any symptoms, so this might prove to be a help.

Genetic residue (RNA), not the actual virus - big difference.

Maybe this genetic residue can be used to predict areas where the virus is about to explode?? If this is the case, we could take pre emptive action to decrease it's impact?

Re: Coronavirus
Not sure how many infected people there would have to be out there in an area, for enough to show up in a particular sample.

Quite sure, actually! You'd have to isolate different dollops of poo (for example) and do the statistical thing based on RNA density per dollop, normalised to the population size of the area being analysed (forgive the intended pun)!
This would be statistical heaven never mind meat and drink for the journalists. Even the woke would be able to feed on that and I hope they do!
