It appears that flights from all over the world, including China, are still arriving into Britain. No medical checks are taking place, immigration into Britain, or back into Britain, is apparently uncomplicated. Is it time that at the very least, flights from China are stopped? Some countries stopped all flights from China last week, but not Britain. In the light of the Coronavirus outbreak, should our government be more proactive?

The direction of this thread has changed from questions about whether the government is doing enough to stop COVID-19 spreading in the UK to a rather angry rant at other posters for their alleged travel and way of life contributing to climate change.
A vital topic for discussion but veering off this immediate crisis.

I'll read what the WHO chief has to say instead.
