Most of the early UK infections came from Spain and Italy. I suppose I’m open to the charge of speaking with the benefit of hindsight but it is a real pity we didn’t have controls in place back then.
I did read that there were 1.3 million Brits abroad (we were 2 of them), which puts the problem into perspective. Not letting them back in was not an option - totally unnaceptable to all labour voters - and processing them on entry to UK plus enforcing quarantine, doubt it?
