Enzo Chiefo Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 4 minutes ago, Lord BJ said: Just reading that U.K. and Greece working together to enable transport to Greece during the summer. It appear we are now developing vaccine passports type scheme and that they are going to be introduced to enable ‘safe’ travel. Greeks want tourism for economic reasons and believe AZ and Pzifer jabbed people will be safe and therefore welcomed. https://apple.news/AsI2tgn86QC2xm9mKz8ihvw Good news. Hopefully Spain will be next. The airline can't survive another wasted year, written off by some politicians and scientists who are desperate to drag out control measures as long as they can.

The view seemed to be autumn time before tourists returned. Whether they stick to that time will tell. I also will be interested to see how SG would react to that. Would they still enforce say quarantine they announced. Especially considering the view the second wave was fuelled by travel. Yes, it will be interesting to see what happens. I think a lot of factors were involved last summer including overseas travel. However, students returning from all over the UK were also a big driver as was Scots going to Blackpool. But, really, it's night and day compared to last summer. The most vulnerable will be protected and a large proportion of the population will be vaccinated. It looks like vaccines stop transmission and Oxford are talking about having a new vaccine variation ready by the Autumn. So, we probably just have to accept that the virus will be endemic but it will run up against a well protected population and shouldn't cause any more worry than other illnesses. Nothing that justifies the damage of restrictions imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would hate to go to Spain and although vaccinated myself pick up a mild form of Covid ruining any Holiday. It was bad enough in the seventies spending three days on the pan with the Shits.

I think the trial is only in Englandshire at the moment and you need to be 50 and over is my understanding. Cheers lads. 👍 It's just great the vaccine has put a big massive light at the end of the tunnel and all groups that are most at risk from death will be safe in the coming weeks.

It wouldn't happen in Scotland if the UK allowed travel. Even if she wanted to quarantine people after they land in Scotland. It would only make Scottish people fly from English airports and no airline flying from down south would make Scottish people fill in a passenger locator form just for the SG. She would be basically bankrupting Scottish airports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could get a week's all inclusive for a family of 4 in the Balearics for the price of a weekend in a cabin at Strathyre in the pishing rain. p.s. There's only so many times you can ping round the NC500 before it's just not fun or interesting any more.

Nookie Bear Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 If the UK has vaccinated nearly everyone over 60 and, say, Spain has done the same then it would be harsh to deny any travel between the two countries. At some point we need to make that leap, but testing needs to be done before any travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine they will be very cautious to see how the vaccines get on against all the new variants that are popping up. I certainly won't be booking any holidays for this year.

DETTY29 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Scientists on the whole have been correct all the way through this. Politicians in Europe, Americas have tried to appease the public too much and it's been a catastrophic failure. We can't be sitting here on November going 'sake again by lifting restrictions too quickly and going overseas on holiday, or making it too easy to do so and take the risk of significant mutation. Aim to surpress, eliminate as much as possible by the time over 50s get first dose; keep social distancing, use at least half the prevelance rates metrics we used for tiering last time aligned to new,test, trace, app download and household self isolation compliance metrics, fund self isolation for both employees and employers, split the UK into 10 component parts and warn each part that strict lockdown can happen at any time if outbreaks happen.

Nucky Thompson Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I wonder how many variants of the Spanish flu would have been found if we had the technology back then.

JudyJudyJudy Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Following on from Ri Alban good news I also got the “ all clear “ on Monday after my illnesses and surgeries . It was certainly an anxious time with getting told you had to be seen “ urgently “ then being told I might have to wait for 14 weeks to be seen and diagnosed . Anyway it’s water under the bridge the NHS came through in the end as I had my second op couple weeks ago ( despite the Covid scare ) and now only need 3 monthly Checks . The biggest anxiety for me was watching daily briefings and hearing about operations being maybe delayed or cancelled due to covid . It really got me in a state . That’s been the real negative .
