My partner has booked a flight with her pal from Edinburgh overseas via London she lives in England. So the pal can get fined but my partner should be okay?

Edinburgh is in tier 3. But apparently Mid and East Lothian can go there to jet off for a bit of sun, but those that live a 10 min bus journey can't!!! If it wasn't so farcical it would be hilarious how incompetent you would have to be to think such a plan makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its on a long list of illogical restrictions. I think the closing of pubs which were in the most well regulated has been one of the worse. As we have all said numerous times people will then congregate in houses which are completely unregulated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dan Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) Well I’m off to Tenerife on the 16th December we may well not be in Level 3 then, who knows. I’m fly from Edinburgh and going away fro 3 1/2 months. Unless EasyJet cancel the flight I’ll be on it. I also have to provide a negative Covid19 PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to arrival before I’m allowed into to Tenerife as the UK in in a risk country. Cost of the PCR test £149 each. There is no way I’m cancelling my trip for some I’ll thought out regulations. Just checked the postcode of the airport and it’s EH12 9DN I presume that’s in Edinburgh? Not sure now.

Wouldn't say that mate, what people realise is that it's a place, that maybe not transmissing in huge numbers as adults would, but still transmission happens with kids, the less cases and people that catch it, the less chance of deaths, us being put in extreme restrictions etc. And the quicker we can return to normal life, its obvious we can drive the virus down to low amount of cases, until a vaccine is ready to be distributed to the population, often people don't like being told what to do.

I've been in work since the summer so some routine but with little else to do outside of work the days are just the same. The football calendar has made some difference though! I see light at the end of the tunnel if these various vaccines are a success at population level but another 6 months of this will be hard to take. Hopefully as 2021 arrives there'll be a drop in infections as immunity from current infections persists for a few months or so, and the vacation programme begins with the most at risk first.

Enzo Chiefo Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Coronavirus now thought to have been circulating in Italy since September last year. Research by the National Cancer Institute found that 14% of blood samples taken from patients in Sept 19 showed up antibodies, indicating exposure to the virus. The results are being reviewed by the WHO and may alter current thinking on the virus. The way this virus has been handled, reported and communicated from day 1 has been nothing short of bizarre.
