>> What makes you say that?
Let us suppose their is a diabolical Chilean variant, only existing in Chile.
The UK decides to protect itself from this and so insists that people from Chile spend two weeks in a hotel. Readers of the Daily Mail are thrilled and the Daily Mail can find no other outrage simple enough for its readers to grasp.
All good.
Assuming of course that the only international traffic involving the UK and Chile is between each other, no third country is ever involved and no traveller has any contact with anyone else from anywhere else.
Sadly of course there were two people arriving in Heathrow that day, and they spent time in the same corridor. The one from Chile then went off on a connecting flight to Glasgow and was interred in a hotel. The one from safe country X entered the UK and since he was from a safe country, escaped internment.
Or any of a gazillion other possibilities.
The whole hotel thing fundamentally ignores how viruses spread and thus is only there to keep the whining hoards happy.
