    From today's Pritti good briefing:

    The chair of the home affairs committee, Yvette Cooper, said 130 countries had taken stricter approaches to the border than the UK, including Germany, New Zealand, South Korea, Italy, Singapore, Australia and Greece.
    and her answer:

    We are not similar to those countries, in terms of travellers and passenger flows. It’s a fact that the UK has one of the largest numbers of international arrivals, very different flows to some of the countries mentioned. That is a key consideration of Sage.
    Surely then, that is a pretty damn good reason to check international arrivals and quarantine them?

    The first sentence explains the second.

    In theory, in 2-3 weeks time, if the restrictions work, then we’ll see a reduction in new cases (whether tested or not). After that, the only new cases we should get are from HCPs, their families and the families of those who have the virus but stayed at home.

    With that, and the 6 month window Dr Harris talked about, then someone could probably draw a graph to see what the figures might be.
    I’d suspect a reduction by a factor of about 9 compared to the figures for better hygiene through hand washing.
    Let's see how close these are.

    1.46 million with no measures
    <1 million with basic measures (hand washing)
    110,000 with current restrictions.

    Number of deaths due to CV each week approx 10.

    So really we need another 300 approx per week deaths to get back to previous levels.

    The other point there is that not only are we seeing 11K extra dead than the five year average, we saw over 3K extra dead than last week.
