| Johnson late on India going on red list on 15:38 - May 15 by Professor | None of those take into account vaccination fully- it’s too complex to model as subtleties in variation of resistance and susceptibility are nigh on impossible to model. Jon Read (Lancaster on SPI M) used to be at Liverpool. We discussed this over avian influenza models as models fall down poorly over this (as it is so difficult to quantify). All mathematical models need a figure. This is difficult to quantify- immunology is not a good bedfellow for modellers. We did some work on predictive modelling of immunity to bacterial infections and this needed a huge amount of experimentation to feed the model. Cost us 25k in cytokine assays alone. Easing will lead to more cases and deaths (don’t need to model that), but the amount is sticking a finger in the air at the moment |
Precisely, so SAGE and SPI M are fear mongering, because those numbers have no relation to previous waves. As in https://www.telegraph.co.uk/ne [Post edited 15 May 2021 15:57]

| Johnson late on India going on red list on 14:35 - May 15 by A_Fans_Dad | Would you care to comment on the SAGE "10,000 a day in hospital in a couple of months" statment? Seeing as the last wave peaked at 60,000 cases (actually positive tests not cases) per day they are virtually sayng 1 in 6 will be hospitalised. |
The authorities are preparing for a 3rd wave, training in some specialist respiratory procedures is also being extended to more junior members of staff. We can read in to that what we want. |  | |  |

They only thing i can think of is they did a runner or deliberately broke the law. A bit like Merthyr or most youngsters to name a few locally. Blaming Boris or Witty etc is pathetic with most people ignoring the rules, and before you all go off on one the number of people wearing a mask below the nose is laughable. We have been locked down long enough leave it upto the induvidual to decide if they want to isolate longer. Most of my mates who are all elderly have had enough, others are going to go bust if they cant make money soon. |
Pakistan and Bangladesh were on the red list a couple of weeks before India were, the speculation was that it was to do with a potential trade deal. Also, India is supplying a lot of the vaccines. |  | |  |

Which is the right thing to do based on a modelled increase. Even if much lower being prepared in key. As India’s disaster illustrates |  | |  |

People ,remember,not governments are responsible for this spread. Bear in mind, many do nit consider a mask desirable or necessary .Tgey just do nit like to be told. And that really is what this is about. All the stats ,scientists,politicians are but nonentities as compared with the universe and all it contains. We think we are smart but we are killing the planet and we are killing ourselves Remember that next time you queue up at McDs and dump your shyte outta the windows . |  |

If Boris would have banned travellers from India, Drakeford would have done it 2 weeks later. |  |

70 flights per week were arriving from India under Johnsons watch. None arrive at Cardiff. Johnson was clearly warned though, he chose not to act. ‘By Patrick Daly 16 April 2021 The UK should be “terribly concerned” about the impact the Indian mutation of coronavirus could have if it takes hold in the country, an expert has warned. Professor Danny Altmann, a professor of immunology, said he thought India “ought” to be placed on the Government’s “red list” of hotel quarantine countries as the variant first discovered there could “scupper” Boris Johnson’s road map out of lockdown. Despite the warning, Downing Street insisted the Prime Minister’s trip to India later this month will go ahead, although it will be drastically scaled down.’ Johnson is finished. |  |

Can you fly to Cardiff from India? Did Drakeford stop travel to or from Cardiff airport? [Post edited 15 May 2021 18:56]

No direct flights as far as i can see. ‘At least 20,000 passengers who could have been infected with a virulent strain of coronavirus were allowed to enter Britain while Boris Johnson delayed imposing a travel ban from India. The prime minister only added India to the so-called red list on April 23, three weeks after announcing a ban on flights from neighbouring Pakistan and Bangladesh. A huge surge in cases of the Indian variant threatens to derail the easing of lockdown restrictions’. Johnson owns this one. |  |

| Johnson late on India going on red list on 09:35 - May 15 by majorraglan | He wanted a trade relationship and India are supplying a significant proportion of the vaccines - hence the delay. It’s a poor call that travel wasn’t stopped. If the India variant is unaffected by the existing vaccines and is more contagious that other strains, we are going to be back to square 1 unless it’s contained sharpish. New Zealand and Oz contained it, I appreciate we have a different geographical position, but there is no reason we couldn’t have had significantly tighter travel restrictions. Edit - BBC reporting concerns mounting about the transmissibility of the Indian version and SAGE reporting “there is a “realistic possibility” it could spread 50% faster” than the Kent variety which in turn was more transmissible than the initial strain. The opening up in June is now under threat. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/hea [Post edited 15 May 2021 9:50]

hell - these imbeciles should be charged with manslaughter. Didn’t leaving the doors open to 385000 Italians and Wuhanese between januand April last year teach them anything? Reckless @rseh*les

You are so wrong, so blinkered. Who have I defended? Kilky was bigging up Drakeford but he's made mistakes too. You live in this left wing cocoon where anybody not with you is obviously right wing. You must have missed my criticisms of Bojo. Maybe on purpose. And bringing Corbyn into it,a tad silly don't you think? Besides the fact he's not the Leader anymore, we can't apportion any balme OR credit to opposition politicians because they are not running the show. |  |

No you cant. He hasn’t, but as there are only something 2 flights per week arriving and departing Cardiff from Spain and as both countries allow essential travel to the other and there would be maximum of around 360 travellers per week if social distancing isn’t followed. If SD is followed then it’s considerably less. None of the devolved or the Westminster Government have banned all travel, NZ hasn’t banned all flights either. |  | |  |

You resort to personal insult when losing an argument Clearly,you have not got over the fact Corbyn is seen as not really a chap the British wanted to be PM. It's ok though if you want to trash right wing scum,the vile tories,posh boys,private schools,private hospitals,Israel and jut about everyone else seen by YOU as scum. This isnt east Germany and we still have more than one political party to vote for. |  |

I know, Major, the point was that while Bojo has made another cock up we can hardly sing Drakefords praises for it either when there are still international flights landing in Cardiff. We know people are coming to the Uk from red list countries via green countries. All Uk governments should have taken steps to control this. NZ has been in a much better place than the Uk for a long while and they had some of the strictest travel rules, https://edition.cnn.com/travel They handled Covid better than the UK. PS, I asked that question of Kilky knowing the answer, I was subtley making the point you can't stop something if it isn't happening. [Post edited 15 May 2021 22:03]

I thought this had been answered when they used public health rules to limit cross border travel? In a situation like this, public health rules can and have been used haven't they? Bojo has handled most travel rules poorly, put money before lives. He is going to be remembered for many bad reasons, the only really good thing I can think of is the vaccine procurement. |  |

People returning from India to reside in Wales etc, students, holiday makers were allowed back in with no requirement to quarantine in hotels etc. There’s no policing of home quarantines as the HO team responsible for the checks was disbanded several months ago. People arriving could use public transport to travel to a quarantine address! Some people are responsible and stick to the rules, others don’t hence the problems we are now facing. |  | |  |
