u. k, has been rushed. although it does understand that there should be some sort of protocol put in place. why is it that the u. k. has moved so speedily to take this action? what i think a large part because it came under such criticism for acting much, much more slowly when the delta virus emerged from india and in so doing effectively played no role in slowing the arrival and spread of the delta vars. and failed to by scientists time at that time to figure out what in fact they were dealing with, they've decided to operate very differently. this time this decision has been made extremely quickly. it was only at 4 pm yesterday, thursday that the chief medical officers came to number 10, downing street with the information they received from the south africans. and within hours these travel bands were imposed on the 6 countries in southern africa from 4 am on sunday. now anyone arriving and that's own, the citizens of this country and people with valid permits will have to pay for accommodation in governme
