Stats just seen on Sky suggest two things. One: The first wave of the virus disproportionately affected the least affluent in society. The second wave has homed in on those at the opposite end - those who lead comfortable lives by any standard.
Two: Those who have travelled abroad in recent weeks are developing Covid19 at a rate way way higher than those who have remained in the UK.
Points one and two may not be unrelated.
So I ask. Is it time to shut down all but essential international travel?
Shouldn’t we take advantage of our island status and close all points of entry?
I don’t have an answer. Some of you must have a considered opinion.
