The quarantine hasnât been more widespread?
It was tasked with keeping variants out. Variants are in.

In that it hasnât been applied to the UK?
So long as a few poor nurses are down 2 grand
Would you put hotels along the border?
Well you can be as sarky as you like.
The fact is this forum was telling us variants werenât a problem.
Now yeâre telling us they are?
Iâm not saying anything about variants.
I mentioned that hotel quarantine (which you championed) has failed. Which it has. I want it to stop immediately.
If the Delta is now 20% of cases and is destined to reach near 100% whatâs the point of continuing with MHQ?
BTW have those idiot Danes not heard of the Delta?

You may be right. And we will probably continue to not facilitate outdoor things that are actually safe, like attendance at matches.
For all our fearmongering and utter bullshitting about VARIANTS we have decided, for whatever reason, no to do anything at all about the large well of the only variant that might affect us which is sitting nextdoor.
Weâve actually made the policy decision to do nothing rather than take a sensible action, like requiring rapid tests before travelling and on arrival from people travelling from England. We could even apply MHQ to them.
Weâd actually prefer to delay reopening another month than take actual preventative measures.
Why take actual preventative measures when you can just take pretend preventative measures and keep everything closed?
We need to let the 7s players out of quarantine, stat.
You literally said âthe variants are hereâ in your last post.
Yeah, because it hasnât been applied across the board, as it should have been. Iâve always said it should have been applied across the board.
It likely would have failed in a much much worse way had it not been applied to anywhere.
You say the variants are here yet you want all MHQ to stop. Thatâs like saying, cases are rising so we need to open the pubs. Itâs idiocy.
There was never any point in continuing with MHQ as we apply it.
You could apply it in a sensible way but weâd rather not do that.
Yes I said they were here, not that they were a problem.
Your second point is nonsense. The system has completely failed but youâre happy enough to keep people locked up anyway?
Have you thought that maybe the preventative measures we have taken have contributed to the cases not rising as was feared, at least so far?
Well exactly, there wasnât much point to it unless it was applied in the UK and applied to all people no matter where they arrived from
Ah right, theyâre not a problem. Thanks Professor.
If the system had completely failed wouldnât cases have risen sharply already?
How can you possibly make any claim like that, and how can you possibly attribute it to MHQ?
Does Claire have guests and staff in the studio ?
It doesnât mean that. It means that the implementation of it could and should have been better than it was. It doesnât mean that what was done was pointless.
And if you applied it to Britain then youâd still have people moaning âbut the borderâ, ie âitâs not perfect so thereâs no pointâ.
Dunno, she has some buddy on now who was in Madrid last week. She hasnât started shaming him yet which is strange, itâs almost like itâs ok when sheâs knows you

Sure youâre like those people who refuse to believe that any preventative non-pharmaceutical interventions, like lockdown, make any difference to cases. Nothing ever satisfies you. Itâs always moan, moan, moan, let it rip.
