I'm off to Turkey shortly and like their policy.
No one gets to enter the country if they have been in any of a certain list of countries in the last 14 days. Including Italy etc.
Turkey's current confirmed cases even with a huge border with Iran is still 0

You'll love their policy when they stop flights to the UK to stop us infecting them.

Oil price halved, strange time for Saudi and Russia to start a supply war.
Bet you petrol & diesel will still have a price rise here.

Just landed in London from Milan. Zero checks. No info. How can it be possible? #COVID2019

Maybe because every passenger going through Milan airport has been thermally screened since 6th Feb. You can't get into the departures lounge without being screened. 

 

Quote

Airports perform thermal screening of passengers to spot fevers caused by infections such as CoV, swine flu, and influenza (such as H1N1). Thermal screening is performed using mass-screening systems that measure the skin temperature at high-speed using thermal imaging and temperature measurement equipment such as the FevIR Scan.

Such quick mass-screening ensures to take security measures without causing delays and discomfort to passengers.

Heathrow's got the same system.

If you can catch this twice surely the current outbreak will never die down and the world is fucked?

Not that unusual and there will be vaccine eventually. We live with loads of diseases that don't disappear completely.

Heathrow's got the same system.

6 new cases in India, bringing the total to 40, of which 14 are Italian tourists who are quarantined in Delhi

3 new cases in Dominican Republic: three Dominicans who visited Italy

5 new cases in the Czech Republic, the latest being a married couple who has been skiing in Val Gardena, Italy. 77% of cases (24 out of 31) in the Czech Republic are related to Italy.

1 new case in South Africa (second case in the country): a direct contact of the first case, part of a group of 10 people who had traveled to Italy

First 3 cases in Bangladesh: 2 members of a family who returned from Italy

 

This is just a handfull of incendents over the last couple of days. Maybe rather than let the Italians do the screening the UK should be doing their own on people coming in from high risk countries.

One case confirmed at the University of the West of Scotland. Campuses remain open. All over Twitter.

Much worse you can catch in Paisley!

Shouldn't we be advising these people to avoid crowded places and self isolate if they work in the health service or a care home?

Went over to the Farmfoods across the road from me for bread & milk. The panic buyers have been out in full force.

My missis witnessed one youngish female grabbing a trolley and whipping the pile of remaining toilet rolls and kitchen towels into it and heading straight for the counter where an old women asked her if she didn't think she was being selfish. 

Did she give a f**k?

Did she f**k.

The conflicting information regarding the Italian "lockdown" is quite confusing as both Ryanair & Easyjet are still selling their flights to Milan and Venice with no warnings or restrictions noted ???
