It seems more reasonable to determine if we are near earthquake fault lines that would put us at risk of earthquake activity. It seems our neighbors in the south should have much greater concerns. I remember reading years ago that Port Royal Jamaica sank into the sea because an earthquake in the **1600's** (they couldn't blame climate change).
The purpose of imposing VAT was to pay down the mammoth national debt. Its seems self defeating to continue to impose this tax on citizens when government borrowing continues to greatly outpace paying down the debt! The electorate should protest this continuing burden!
I wonder if Immigration officers are simply asking travelers if they were in China recently or if they are manually checking their passports to determine this! With a former a person can always deny having visited when they did for fear of being 'quarantined', but the latter would be more conclusive!
