No I agree . What I meant was that it is scaremongering that may hold water.
The chief scientist today called the fear an overreaction but agreed with border-closing. The media tend to “ scaremonger” and incite fear. This does not mean that the response is not valid. It is valid imo. The govt. can use it to promote boosters and vaxxing which I support. The response is fully appropriate against a potentially nasty little bug. But we don’t know yet.
I resent the media for stirring public fear. Some scientists too. Others are more measured. ALL of them support the borders closing. The world just does not need any more fear. Enough damage to mental health ( inc. mine) already. All I meant. I fully support these measures but our govt. has missed some loopholes. I know as I am picking son up from Tenerife. I don’t need a pcr. But I should.
