If Britain is struggling, then why were they excluded from the European travel ban?

Is this more a result of the severity of Covid-19, or of long-term failures to invest in the Italian health-care system? One starts to suspect the latter.Oh yeah!

If Britain is struggling, then why were they excluded from the European travel ban? Good question. Is it only because of Brexit?

It's that socialized medicine , that great ‘’free health care’’ the Euro’s are always ragging on us about. How we should have because theirs is sooooo great ‘n’ stuff.

Was watching SkyNews earlier. In the UK they’re mulling the idea of having people ‘work from home’ or just stay home until the crisis abates. One problem: the NHS is the single largest employer in the nation, and of course, its employees will likely have to be working overtime. If schools are closed, who’s to look after the kids...?

I figure it is because they are not in the EU.
They have a border and can test all seeking entry.

I should have been more clear. The nation’s largest employer is the NHS. They likely won’t be working from home...or spending much time there.

I heard an NHS spokesperson say that they would let some Med students function as doctors and invite retired doctors back.

So far there is no precaution nor procedures taken in England.
To: Yo-Yo
In a nutshell — because the writer of this article isn't above lying to make a point.
There are over 25 times as many cases in Italy compared to Britain. 25 + times!
Also, Britain is no longer part of Europe. They now have a border — and a world-class moat, to control entry.
