Maybe part of the reason many people are not getting the message is because we are still allowing flights from Iran, Italy and China to arrive.

WHY? anyone have a theory as to why the Govt are failing us on this. ?......

I did say flights form badly infected countries.
Not freight

I would have thought that was clear and obvious.

pinkquartz, in regard to your post @18:51 today, that freight from those badly infected EU member states comes with sixteen to twenty thousand truck drivers daily, who if you had not noticed are people moving across Britain's borders.

The forty percent of fresh food freight that the EU provide this nation with does not move on its own volition or without human intervention.
