The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I suppose many people in each location probably just think "is it worth it?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 No need to self isolate after a negative test result. Handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really people in Jersey generally don’t like the people in Guernsey and visa versa. It goes back to the English Civil War when Guernsey was Parliamentarian, and Jersey Royalist. So that isn’t a surprising result. Plus Jersey still has Covid so why would you risk it if your island is Covid free?

Max Power Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 There's no doubt that we are going to be living with this for some time. The only hope of getting back to normal is an effective vaccine and we don't really know when that will appear. The loss of many businesses in some sectors will begin to have a severe effect on those which would otherwise be ok as their customers dry up. I hate conspiracy theories but there's something about this whole pandemic which seems very fishy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
