Priti Patel has called for UK borders to be closed to stop people arriving from coronavirus hotspots.
The Home Secretary is seeking support for her plans to stop passengers being able to fly in to the UK from countries with high levels of infections such as Iran, the US and China.
Mrs. Patel believes flights from virus hotspots should not be allowed when the country is on lockdown to prevent its spread, The Daily Telegraph reported.
The lack of a travel ban in the UK is in stark contrast to policies in the EU and the US, which have closed their borders to travelers from many other countries.
Flights headed to the UK from New York, Tehran, Rome and Beijing all took off yesterday.
An estimated 100,000 passengers are still arriving through UK airports each day — around one fifth of the number before the pandemic. …

Successful therapy against Covid-19 virus from New York State:
Dr. Vladimir (Zev) Zelenko
Board Certified Family Practitioner

To all medical professionals around the world:
My name is Dr. Zev Zelenko and I practice medicine in Monroe, NY. For the last 16 years, I have cared for approximately 75% of the adult population of Kiryas Joel, which is a very close knit community of approximately 35,000 people in which the infection spread rapidly and unchecked prior to the imposition of social distancing.
As of today my team has tested approximately 200 people from this community for Covid-19, and 65% of the results have been positive. If extrapolated to the entire community, that means more than 20,000 people are infected at the present time. Of this group, I estimate that there are 1500 patients who are in the high-risk category (i.e. >60, immunocompromised, comorbidities, etc).
Given the urgency of the situation, I developed the following treatment protocol in the pre-hospital setting and have seen only positive results:
1. Any patient with shortness of breath regardless of age is treated.
2. Any patient in the high-risk category even with just mild symptoms is treated.
3. Young, healthy and low risk patients even with symptoms are not treated (unless their circumstances change and they fall into category 1 or 2).
My out-patient treatment regimen is as follows:
1. Hydroxychloroquine 200mg twice a day for 5 days
2. Azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days
3. Zinc sulfate 220mg once a day for 5 days
The rationale for my treatment plan is as follows. I combined the data available from China and South Korea with the recent study published from France (sites available on request). We know that hydroxychloroquine helps Zinc enter the cell. We know that Zinc slows viral replication within the cell. Regarding the use of azithromycin, I postulate it prevents secondary bacterial infections. These three drugs are well known and usually well tolerated, hence the risk to the patient is low.
Since last Thursday, my team has treated approximately 350 patients in Kiryas Joel and another 150 patients in other areas of New York with the above regimen.
Of this group and the information provided to me by affiliated medical teams, we have had ZERO deaths, ZERO hospitalizations, and ZERO intubations. In addition, I have not heard of any negative side effects other than approximately 10% of patients with temporary nausea and diarrhea.
In sum, my urgent recommendation is to initiate treatment in the outpatient setting as soon as possible in accordance with the above. Based on my direct experience, it prevents acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), prevents the need for hospitalization and saves lives.
With much respect,
Dr. Zev Zelenko

The country I am living in, Spain, has already closed their borders. All of a sudden the European countries are waking up to the fact that borders matter. Once again Donald Trump was ahead of the pack.
So pretty! She should be Prime Minister.
They haven’t done that yet? Polashut its border 2 weeks ago and India did it last week
They look quite different. Could be cause Nikki is punjabi and Patel is Gujarati

I watched Sky News on PLUTO TV...There was a clip of her speaking in the House of Commons. She was apologizing for some scandal involving Home Office.
She could be the PM if she gets enough support from Conservative members of the Parliament...

My senator, Kamala Harris, has an Indian mother...
I am reminded of the senator when you mentioned those two ladies...
Yes worth repeating.
The millions of folks here in England who are deemed to be “particularly vulnerable” are not permitted to leave their home nor even venture into their yard for the next 12 weeks.
But any ole’ folk can travel from Iran and China.
Tells you everything about the agenda...
This woman may have good intentions but is hamstrung by the ‘civil servants’ that surround here - not unlike DJT.
While Ms. Harris’ mother is a Tamil :)
So about as similar “racially” and “linguistically” to the other two ladies (Gujarati and Punjabi) as Japanese are to the Spanish and Dutch :)
Closed borders....What a concept.
