@Mike-And-Jane0 "some people will still travel especially when they get bored with the media hype and realise that for many many lucky people Corona Virus is just a bad cold/dose of flu."
This is exactly the scenario that your own Cobra Emergency Management Committee is the most concerned about. People who only get mild symptoms, or become tired of the control measures, and start wandering about spreading the virus to high-risk groups.

And people still feel that it is an under-response. Whatever one's political views, one should understand the science behind the decisions. Science supports the idea of a travel ban from affected countries *before* the virus enters a country. They agree that *after* the virus enters a country, travel bans from other countries have little effect, and internal control measures have to take over. Up to, and including, families being asked to stay at home, if someone is sick. So, one should prepare for the idea that there will be a shutdown in the UK, similar to what is happening in Europe, as you approach the peak of the virus.
