No argument with that either and very true. As said I don’t disagree with WRK either, just the nonsense that the original poster suggesting Britain was wholly responsible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "deal" with Randox to do home PCR testing. £180 per person per trip and that's only if you travel yourself to drop each of the 3 tests off at a Randox lab otherwise it's courier return each time at customers cost. Foreign travel from the UK has no chance with those sort of restrictions and these are being seen as the minimum ie before any quarantine requirements. I see the EU are pushing ahead with the vaccine passport (QR code can be printed off on paper format similar to a current boarding card), however the UK have so far declined to be part of it (christ knows why). That said, come July, August, September I can't honestly believe that "tests" will still be required for travel to the likes of Spain and Portugal for UK citizens as most will be vaccinated and quite frankly the "labs" simply wouldn't be able to keep pace with testing demand. Like everything, the above comes with the caveats that the virus remains "under control" in the a fore mentioned countries but if it does then foreign holidays should be a goer. on a slight tangent, I've not seen it mentioned anywhere that holidaying at home "staycation" is becoming almost impossible due to a lack of infrastructure across the UK. In a nutshell there simply isn't sufficient accommodation, to well, accommodate people !! Over and above that we've got situations where island travel is impossible as too many people are travelling to allow them all to get back (Police stopped people going to Cumbrae only last weekend), we also have a severe lack of parking in many of our towns and for those travelling on public transport this becomes another problem when "last buses" are leaving at 6pm etc in the middle of Summer !! I've also not seen it mentioned anywhere about Hotels closing down, take Aberdeen as an example, in the last 18 months they've lost the Hilton Treetops, City Centre Garden Inn, Doubletree on Beach Boulevard and a couple of privately owned establishments, however I don't remember reading this anywhere other than local press as obviously that wouldn't suit the "staycation" agenda. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a wee holiday in my own backyard, however the inflated prices, difficulty of securing any sort of accommodation, travel and parking issues, high cost and of course the suspect climate make the thought of having to try and find a holiday here a rather daunting and indeed unsavoury prospect for many..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put the numbers into some sort of perspective, Scotland only now has marginally more total active cases, than the Borders & Dumfries & Galloway had on the 4th January. In a strange twist of fate Upper Nithsdale was Covid Free when D&G was the worst council in January. Now it finds itself the most dangerous neighbourhood in Scotland. Brilliant to see the top 5 all may have peaked based on todays figures. A special mention again also for Brechin City who after last nights victory do have more points than Covid cases in Angus Looking at the UK it is possible we go past England in the next day or 2. The Welsh are long gone into the distance. Scotland peaked at 301.9 for figures 29th Dec to 4th Jan, (UK was 642.1) Cases that day were 16,496 and test positivity rate was 11.9% Total Cases 7 days from 19th April to 25th April were 1454 now 1407 down 3.23%. Positivity was 1.3% now 1.3%. Cases per 100k were 26.6 now 25.8 Home Nations Daily update: UK Average 25.0 to 25.3 up 1.20%, England 24.8 to 25.2 up 1.61%, Wales 13.2 to 12.7 down 3.79%, Northern Ireland 41.0 to 39.2 down 4.39% European (Above 2 Million Population) : Sweden 383 to 370, Croatia 378 to 364, Netherlands 331 to 329, France 330 to 311, all destinations over 250 cases per 100K Special mention for Turkey as a popular destination down to 435 from 498 but now in Lockdown, Cyprus getting even worse at 705 from 641 !!

Hopefully the May date can be level 1 and Mid June can be 0 and July for easing completely, I think that should be the bare minimum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Indian government are terrible but it's not the space program that's responsible for underdevelopment. 74 years isn't a particularly long time in terms of economic development, especially after centuries of inflicted imperialism. You are a right wing numpty so it's not really any surprise you can't get your head round fairly simple political economy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think you have to look at what is normality for you and think is it realistic, do you have family in Australia, but don't have an Aussie passport, is their life going to be back to normal in terms of being able to get across to see them, sadly probably not. But if your version of normality is being able to do as you please round the UK with a summer holiday in Europe every so often then yes I think "normality" is achievable & desirable. If we end up in August & September without that then serious questions have to be asked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
