    Default Yikeys! Talk about overkill

    I think it's important that folks know everything there is to know about covid so that they can properly protect themselves. But I also think that the penalty needs to fit the crime.

    ‘Out of Control!’ — Travelers to the UK Face 10 Years in Prison for Lying About Corona Travel History

    Travelers arriving in the United Kingdom face up to ten years in prison if they were found to have lied about travel history and fines of up to £10,000 if they breach quarantine rules, Britain’s health secretary announced on Tuesday.

    People who lie about having travelled to the government’s so-called ‘red list’ of coronavirus hot spot countries will face up to ten years behind bars, putting the offence on par with possession of a firearm with intent, making threats to kill, and poisoning.

    Those found to have attempted to breach the mandatory hotel quarantine scheme will be subject to fines of up to £10,000 and anyone who fails to take a mandatory coronavirus test within 72 hours of their departure or upon their second day in quarantine faces a £1,000 penalty.

    A £2,000 fine will be issued for those who do not take a second coronavirus test on their eighth day in the country.

    Speaking before the House of Commons, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: “Anyone who lies on a passenger locator form and tries to conceal that they’ve been in a country on our red list in the 10 days before arrival here will face a prison sentence of up to 10 years.”

    Mr Hancock said that he makes “no apologies” about draconian measures, claiming that it is “mission-critical” that the UK blocks more coronavirus variants from entering the country.

    “People who flout these rules are putting us all at risk,” he said, adding: “Passenger carriers will have a duty in law to make sure that passengers have signed up for these new arrangements before they travel, and will be fined if they don’t, and we will be putting in place tough fines for people who don’t comply.”

    And with all the new info coming out about covid and real numbers, this totalitarism has definitely helped me make decision to not take vaccine.

    I urge anyone that does take it to update your living will.

    Which of them we speaking of? I believe there are multiple thus far, and I believe Russia supposedly has one too. Pfizer & Moderna and then on the way hopefully is AstraZeneca, Janssen & Novavax. Then all the extras as well, like the crap Trump was given.

    I assume Sassy is referring to the many reactions so far. I say many but in the grand scheme of things it's not that many. But with my luck...

    Fever, chills, tiredness, headache, nauseous, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, excessive itching, irritated throat, heart palpitations, anaphylaxis. The last one the main one to worry about, but reported in a very small percentage.

    I think those are the only two actually approved right now with one more on the way, the 1 dose option, Janssen? I don't know much about all those other treatments.

    But I think that the vaccine response is about the only thing that trump got right about this whole thing which was the only thing the government could do; get out of the way of the private sector.

    Bolsonaro's view on the vaccine isn't far-fetched after all.

    He has held seven recent press conferences against the vaccine.

    For once you bring up an interesting POV. China dumps the virus on us. Next move? Sold defective masks to the World.

    I don't know at this time if they've had a hand in the vaccine or not, but from this POV, why would I let China inject me with jack anything when it is the cause of the damned Chinese flu?
