    Eddie, You keep confusing travel ban with flights cancelations by the airlines. That is two different things. There is no travel ban issued by UK government in place and AFAIK never was.

    not that Wikipedia is the most reliable source either but:
    The Epoch Times is a multi-language newspaper[2] founded in 2000 by John Tang and a group of Chinese Americans associated with the Falun Gong spiritual movement.[3]
    Though the newspaper is known for general interest topics with a focus on news about China and its human rights issues, it has become known for its support of U.S. President Donald Trump and favorable coverage of far-right politicians in Europe; a 2019 report showed it to be the second-largest funder of pro-Trump Facebook advertising after the Trump campaign.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The newspaper is part of the Epoch Media Group, which also operates New Tang Dynasty Television (NTD).[7] The group's news sites and YouTube channels have spread conspiracy theories such as QAnon and anti-vaccinationpropaganda.[7][12][13]

    Yes, the Epoch times are about as reliable as the Chinese state propaganda, just on the other side of the barricade. Let's wait for something more reliable.

So if they (FO) are asking British nationals to urgently leave China, well if someone is in Beijing or Shanghai and they can't get a flight back to the UK, how do they expect the British nationals to leave China, how?"

    Plus the other issue is the EU didnt do the same, so people flew from China into Europe then on to the UK. Italy banned all flights in from China but this caused deep irritation among other EU states who wanted to coordinate a 'joint response' and meanwhile arrivals continued.
    I just read that during March some 3,1 million people travelled through Heathrow alone (50% of normal number) with no health check, no mandatory quarantine and no restrictions at all. Still today around 15 thousand people arrive from all over the world every day and there is still no mandatory quarantine for them or any other check done. The flights are not restricted, you can check the arrival board yourself to see that planes keep coming from Italy, Spain or USA every day.

    Where are the facilities in the UK that could look after and isolate that many numbers of people for a 14 day quarantine period?
    Things happen for reasons, not excuses.

    There is no need to invent a wheel when it works in nearly all other counties. Do it the same way as you do with the people who were in contact with infected people - quarantine them at home (only a minority of countries use special quarantine facilities).
