Shoulders?-Stomach!

QuoteOne officer said: "The only rationale for this change is to speed up queue times when travel is expected to increase. At a time when the country is unlocking, this is the time when we should be using every tool available to mitigate the risks, not turn a literal blind eye."

Another officer challenged the government's claim that checks conducted by the airline were sufficient. "The official line is the airlines are so good at checking forms that we can rely on them and we don't need to check ourselves. However, empirical evidence is that we are getting passengers arrive with positive tests and being allowed to travel because no one has read their forms correctly," they said.

That last bit, jesus. Yes, leave it to the party with no stake whatsoever in public health compliance.
