So COVID19 is a... policy? I suppose if you want a UK=Soviet Union metaphor, why not look to Brexit=Perestroika? A restructing of economic order that will deepen the very problems it's intended to resolve.

Unlike glasnost, then - that's a policy direction, a principle, a response even. (As with perestroika.) Not just pointless pedantry, I promise! I suppose, I wonder what COVID19 and the shortcomings it reveals will *enable*. I'm not sure it'll be as ... earnest as glasnost...

Indeed already we see COVID19 being turned towards particular ends - Salvini, Le Pen, Orban. If you want to promote hard borders, it serves that end. (As Chernobyl served promoting openness.)

borders would do. Why are we not having every one landing here filling out an arrival card with contact tracing details?

I don't think you can really do that bit of the process as passively as you'd hope, and if they develop symptoms a week later... I'm not sure how useful a out-of-date list is going to be anyway. Don't think that's the sort of grand realignment you'd use a crisis for though.

Depends how effective your containment measures have been. The UK has been allowing flights in from Italy for weeks, and China for weeks before that.

We seem to be putting big hopes on border checks and paperwork for a disease which is asymptomatic for c 5 days

True. As I say, it would be for data, to aid tracing.

Be genuinely interesting to know how many visitors are here for under 5 days. Most business travel, I suspect.

Worst, we have three cabinet secretaries whose roles overlap here. Shocking. There should be a go to person for this and there just isn't. Ditto for Scotland.
