In NZ everyone arriving into quarantine for 2 weeks, no exceptions; total deaths under 20, lowest person to person transmission rate. I read in the UK press there are still 10000 inbound arrivals per week and no checking. What a mess, but no point locking the stable door now, the horses have well and truly bolted. The UK is reporting 20000 deaths, but that is only the hospital deaths. If we had done that n NZ we'd be on 3. The majority were in nursing homes, and int the UK there have been around 14000 not recorded. I predict the figure will be more like 100000.

BTW, daily repatriation flights to the UK started last Friday, so 200 per day inbound for 10 days, operated by CX
