Re. the 100,000 unscreened passengers, I'm talking about nada, nothing, zilch. They land, they pass through immigration and enter. No questions. No temperature checks. No isolation. No quarantine.
A pilot friend of mine who is flying all over the world (cargo) cannot believe the UK. Says we are the sloppiest country in the world. And that's nothing to do with politics: he's well to the right.
I doubt questioning and temperature checks would help at all, that's security theatre. Isolation? Perhaps, but they should already be doing that for the most part anyway.
Apparently there are hotels for quarantining anyone identified by airline staff as having a persistent cough
Number in hospital with virus down approx 1,000 in last 24 hours.
Encouraging - potentially big moment.
If recovery figures were put out then you’d see whether that was down to that or people dieing . Aswell as this they don’t issue daily updates for those in critical care .

Well, are a thousand people dying in England alone? I don't think it is that high.
Some things are going to have to change after all this over. Social Care mess is another.
I spent much of the last ten years or so of my working life in and out of Care Homes, and some of the rest of it working with Drug Addiction units. I've seen poor relations treated better.
In answer to the questions, yes it was almost certainly coronavirus. I am not entirely sure of the figures, but somewhere around half of the residents in his care home have died in the last week and a half. The index case was a diagnosed coronavirus patient discharged from hospital into the care home.
My mother was allowed in two days ago in full PPE, but was the only one of the family able to get in. The care home staff themselves have been brilliant, working at considerable risk to themselves. One worked a full extra shift to sit with him through last night, for which I shall always be grateful.
That's awful, @NigelB. I'm so sorry for your loss.
