I wasn't happy with the previous rules, but i am happy with the new 1 day of isolation rule. Wtf are you on about 'I can isolate as I an retired, but I am not totally selfish' - you talk in riddles!! Lucky you. I have been travelling off island, multiple times a month, all the time I have lived there. Work and family responsibilities don't just go away because there's a bug about. And nobody pays me if I don't work............ Because of that I haven't been home since February 2020 - and it wasn't planned like that. I am very much looking forward to getting the majority of my clothes back! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except thanks to putting India on the Red List two weeks late the Indian Variant now has a foothold in the UK. Just used the EU decision as an illustrative example of the effect this failure has had on how holiday destinations now view the UK. You know, for the hard of thinking.... If Guernsey don't care well, good luck them. But they have previous. Test and release on entry eventually bit them in the arse. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you know as you can’t seem to read any positive news Spain have announced today that UK residents can visit from Monday with no COVID tests & no proof of vaccinations so shove your Indian variants up your A***, Greece, Portugal, Iceland & Italy already accepting British Edited May 21, 2021 by Banker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the bigger picture. Just telling it like it is. The Indian Variant is "surging" in places like Notlob and eg EU countries are responding accordingly. That's not my fault by the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portugal & Iceland are green & others will be on the list soon, you Ill informed clown so you’re scaremongering about white lists is just bollocks as the individual countries decide their own immigration rules!!! EU are not responding in any way at all Member state governments were further advised that they should decide on a case-by-case basis whether to act in line with that recommendation, and powers over borders remain with the national governments.

As does the UK with quarantine on return from Greece, Spain, Italy etc etc which you clearly didn't realise. Hopefully, despite Bozo's stupid decisions, things will carry on improving as we would love to get to Italy this year. But we all have to be realistic.

Gladys Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 The big takeaway from the report for me is that there needs to be a proper emergency response plan in place for government, not just for covid but for any emergency. One that triggers a series of cross departmental actions with an oversight team. Of course, the make up will be dictated by the nature of the emergency, but there would be some core expertise, health, logistics, legal, say, supplemented by those with expertise or relevance in the type of emergency. It is easy now to look back and say that was what was needed, but I think the issues have arisen from trying to shoehorn in emergency response into existing structures, rather than say this is the team that needs to mobilise now and it needs to sit outside of the routine government structure. To be fair to everyone involved, there will be very few, if any, with the kind of mindset or background to switch on to a military style response. And emergencies need the military kind of approach, they are trained in logistics, emergency management, and risk and security assessment. I am not talking about calling in the army, but getting some military logistical input to a plan to roll out in cases of national emergency. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
