20 flights from NY landed in London yesterday. Stopping stuff like that might be an idea too.

Did the report tell you how many actual Passengers travelled on those flights ? Whilst I agree that people getting off these Planes need to be checked, you have to consider the fact that 90% of the Aircraft currently flying (Passenger Aircraft, NOT Cargo Aircraft) are repatriation flights, where the Passengers have been tested prior to boarding, or Passenger Aircraft only carrying cargo. Emirates, as an example is flying alongside its fleet of B777 Freighters a sub fleet of B777 Passenger Aircraft purely using the Lower Cargo Compartments with no Passengers at all. Austrian Airlines have an approval from EASA to fly their Passenger Aircraft with boxes on the Passenger Seats held down by Cargo Nets attached to the Seat Tracks.

 

The demand for Air Cargo is massive right now. The 14 B777 Freighters I look after in Leipzig are maxed out. Normally on Thursdays and Mondays I have some of them in the Hangar on longer Maintenance inputs, but at the moment they are just coming in and go back out again pretty much as quickly as possible with only the mandatory Maintenance performed.

If only a few break it it’s not a problem. But if too many do it just prolongs it. Needs hefty fines as a way to discourage people flouting the rules. Already people being warned by the police apparently if taking non essential journeys or hanging round in groups. 

The trouble is that a lot of people who do this haven't got wads of cash and would do it anyway. IF all you get is a fine and they haven't got a job or any money what does it matter to them ? Pay the fine off 5 quid per week or something. I have no idea what else you can do. There aren't enough Police to "police" all of this. I can really see a situation where the Army have to get involved in some way if you really want to make a difference.

She is gorgeous but for some reason those nudy pics she did were just, well, a bit underwhelming.

It’s the forbidden fruit. When she’s got clothes on it’s the mystery.

Id still drink her bath water.

By some estimates, fewer than a third of those who die with Covid will die *from* Covid. Dr John Lee on the importance of this distinction

 

Their reporting is completely irresponsible. Trying to suggest that hundreds of deaths a day and rising is a fraction of the average deaths a day is nonsense. It’s like saying a nuclear war that kills 10,000 people a day is fine because 50,000 die a day any way. 

These deaths are people dying in hospital on ventilators. Mainly people who wouldn’t have died this week, month or year otherwise. And the issue is that this disease can easily infect us all so multiplying the small % over an entire population is disastrous.

They speak of curtailing freedom as though it isn’t for our own good.

Why are they sniping away on the sidelines when basically every country in the world accepts you need to suppress the spread of the virus?

Are you asking me?
