Just lob a police car on the bridge? Permanent resident IN. Anyone else, (deliveries etc etc not with standing), GO HOME. Done that in Cornwall.
Sadly that’s not practical due to lack of resources following (you guessed it) government cuts. I know last weekend there were two officers covering an area from Barmouth to Caernarfon.... and all surrounding rural areas.
 
Nowhere near capacity by all accounts so very disgusting that people were left to die in community care settings.


As I said, and have said numerous times, I think it's awful how many deaths we have had and will continue to have.

But our NHS is not at capacity and that is better than the alternative, that's for sure.

Why does that famous scene from Blazing Saddles spring into my mind! The one where they put a toll gate up to stop the posse when they could easily just ride round it!

But havnt you got them community coppers, or even the highways agency?

Again mate there just aren’t the resources. Logistically it would also be a nightmare as the hospital lies just 5 mins on the mainland. Hundreds of staff travel from here every day over both bridges just to get to work. You wouldn’t be able to stop every car as it would be impractical do we’re limited to random stops in known visitor hit spots. Also the police have no powers to remove holiday home owners once they are in the houses.
 
Who said that? The journo asking the question, or the medic bloke saying its foolish to compare?
I'm saying it now, at the end of play we will have the largest death toll in Europe from this pandemic, and they've only been taking into account deaths in the community to add to the daily total for three days, how many have died that have not been counted in Care Homes?, 1000's that's how many.

The way we have handled this is an embarrassment, one of the leading medical countries in the world, we should have been the best in Europe.

More cases less deaths in Spain, nearly the same for Italy.

Thats a good point. Had no idea about the hospital.

Just chin them then.
 
Worst country at handling this pandemic in Europe nailed on, one of the leading medical countries in the world.

Is that acceptable?

How would you know ?......I mean really....and no, none of these deaths are acceptable and I hope you condemn China for not stopping this at source and then concealing the truth.....
