This from the BBC...
Interesting, and good to finally show the evidence but.. Wtf...?
'Allowing quarantine-free travel to Greece last summer may have had a significant contribution to the spread of coronavirus, according to a Public Health England study.
Travel corridors, which exempted people from needing to self-isolate when returning, were linked to higher rates of onward transition of imported cases, the researchers said.
They argued the genomics study demonstrates the effectiveness of travel restrictions in reducing the spread of Covid-19, with restrictions linked to a 40% lower rate of contacts.
Travel from the European countries accounted for 86% of imported cases between May and September, according to the study, which is yet to be peer-reviewed.
Greece, which had quarantine-less travel for the entire period, was "the source of greatest imported" Covid-19 cases, accounting for 21% of travel-linked cases, or 882 infections in the study of 4,207 cases." |

Greece has generally been very well managed for the infection. It's likely that it was people like us who were taking and spreading it there.
The worst problem was not locking borders appropriately from March, when hundreds of people came here and started off hundreds of local virus chains. Those chains of infection caused much of our year long problem.
It will be good when this is peer reviewed |
