Having both open borders without any screening and a lockdown in place is a bit like having two sprung leaks in a sinking ship. One leak gets plugged and the other is left. I really hope the authorities have been making good use of the last few weeks with a view to implementing the same kind of airport screening that has proved successful in certain other countries.
A quarantine should have been imposed ages ago, but it is better late than never. I have my doubts about the effectiveness of these airport tests. Can you point to the success they've had?
