She has just called me in tears. They have tested her in India, in the UK and every day at the prison hotel. She just by 'the failed track and trace' got told that someone on the plane tested positive and as a result has been told she will be there for another ten days and needs to pay more

I have told her to keep a detailed diary, take photos and prepare it for the press. Also told her to contact the Indian Embassy and read up on legal action.
She has been quarantined on her own for 4 days. Negative tests at both airports and at the hotel. Has not seen another person apart from a distanced security card in PPE four times.
Threat of devastating third Covid wave has fallen, says Prof Neil Ferguson
The threat of a devastating third Covid-19 wave hitting Britain in the autumn has fallen, a top scientist said on Tuesday.
Working with a woman from India at the moment. She is a doctor and her husband is a brain surgeon. They moved to the UK at the start of March 2020and have seen nothing but their home and Luton
poor fuckers.
Her mother died in India just before the situation there went mental and after the funeral was worried she could not get back to the UK. Due to her residency status she was able to fly back. Obviously has to quarantine for ten days which is not ideal but of course she wanted to be home to her husband.
She flew back on a half full BA flight with 100% mask wearing and (the all Indian passengers) was served Indian food. Said it was as safe as possible with testing and space.
Now is in a quarantine hotel costing £200 per night so £2000.
In a small room and alcohol is not allowed. She does not drink much but worth mentioning.
Allowed 'outside' fresh air' time twice a day (24 hours) for 10 minute's only accompanied by a security guard.
She asked if it would be possible to have some Indian food instead of the pizza/pasta/burger options on the bar menu but was told that she could order that for delivery as they can't provide that. P
The staff are hardly answering any calls (she needed some sanitary products) and when they did it took over 12 hours to arrange and she was charged a 'premium' price for said products to be left outside her door.
When she 'booked up' this she was told that transport back to the airport was part of the package. Has since been told that she has to arrange her own transport/taxi.
I am all for restrictions on international travel but this is a bad way to treat people for £200 a night. We left travel open for a long time and shared our variant around the world. We are still allowing the rich to fly anywhere they want (even Farage the cunt) and Disgraced Prime Minister Johnson was a cunt hair away from flying over to India himself for his money train.
This is just profit from misery isn't it...
Cunts
I do get that. Just this is disaster capitalism at it's worst. I have got in touch with her (Labour) MP and passed her contact details on.
the rules about being a contact of the person testing positive are on this Booking and staying in a quarantine hotel when you arrive in England - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) That page also says travel to hotel should be included in package, and hotels should be able to accomadate dietary requirements.
A mate who has just been returned from Burma got a text saying someone on his flight had tested positive, but it didn't make any difference to the length of his stay, still got out as promised after eight days. He was told everyone on any flight in was likely to get such a text. It was one of three he had, all requiring some other bod to ring him up and ensure he was where he said he was meant to be. Tis completely cocked up.
It is like the 'free school meals' contracted out by the Tories. Costing £1 and billing the taxpayers £20.
I suspect that it's more that it meant a lucrative contract for prepackaged food supplies was thus available to a sufficiently generous Party donor. People who plate up food and wash up the crockery aren't, generally, reliable supporters of the Conservative party.
