    Prof. Devi Sridhar Retweeted Kelly Bonner

    Still no 2 week quarantine for people arriving at airports. Only explanation is reliance on a model that shows imported cases don't affect transmission. Overreliance on modelling is again proving problematic- need triangulation with other sources of data. https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1567 …https://twitter.com/KellyBonner/status/1257323982400831491 …

    This was the @AerLingus flight from @BELFASTCITY_AIR to @londonheathrow this morning at 8:45. No social distancing taking place - one passenger told me they weren’t given any advice on how to keep themselves safe. More on @BBCevex next @taramillstv @NewsDeclan pic.twitter.com/eeAfcGf23O

        Aside from modelling and even evidence of incoming people spreading the virus, this is simply not a good look when the rest of us are expected to stay home in lockdown.

        Or just herd immunity by the back door?

        UK policy needs to recognise that many small, hard-to-measure/hard to model actions can add up to significant impact. Quarantine+masks+hand sanitizer+enforce social distancing at work++ Added to test/track/isolate+app, may be difference between R>0 and R<0 when exiting lockdown.

        Surely the best advice for how to keep themselves safe is not to get on the plane?

        Particularly concerning given that a lot of travellers then use public transport after arriving at Heathrow which also serves a lot of outlying towns. I live in one such town.

        Public transport which also serves a lot of the hospitals, supermarkets and schools in the local area.

        If imported cases don’t contribute how did it get here? Or anywhere?

        Hi Devi. How is it that imported cases do not affect transmission? I would have thought that the total number of infected people within the population directly influences the transmission rate. You’re doing fab on here btw.

        Devi's contention is that it's not modelled, not that they don't transmit
