Oh wait we’re all on holidays 😂 No. The 75/50 are figures for adults offered a vaccination, not including those not yet offered and not including children, who make up around 20% of the population. But the vaccination holiday is pathetic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmpton Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 "It's worth noting that these admissions are not necessarily to treat Covid-related illness. A child might be admitted to hospital with a broken arm, but will be recorded in the figures if they test positive for Covid." and this is exactly why they need to give us an idea what they are going to use to determine if we open up or not. We all know cases are going to go up, and obviously as more people are infected then a percentage of them are going to end up in hospital with things like broken arms especially as mentioned in the article since more people are out and about doing things that result in hospital admissions like sport. Cases and or hospital admissions with COVID mean nothing and our lot really need to explain this to people who see hospital figures climb and panic. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-57344826 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog's Dangly Bits Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I wonder at what point Covid will stop being reported (we don't get a breakdown every day of who's in hospital, why and who died of what). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there are no restrictions. ATM, reports are necessary to inform people why restrictions are being applied to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. And we definitely don't get figures for how many people turned out to have something they didn't know about and wasn't casting them any issues as a result of being admitted for something else. It needs to stop. Hopefully here and UK will have stopped by the end of the month. When are we next due an update on what the clowns are thinking? People and businesses need to plan so an idea of what they are looking for and an update on resumption of proper air services would be helpful.

Nom de plume Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) June 21st. The U.K. are opening, without question. The delays on Green status overseas travel is the balance to achieve that target, Schapps intimated as much. The June 28th travel list is the one the holiday industry is really concerned with, possibly the announcement three weeks after that. The school holiday market is where it’s at. Expect Portugal, France, Spain, Italy, Greece & other popular destinations to go Green by mid-end July. Lunp on.

No way we will be ready until end of July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trmpton Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 The reductions to the green list in the UK are a HUGE opportunity for us. Open up and get adverts everywhere ASAP.

snowman Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) G7 have all flown into the UK from all over the world and will be doing no quarantine.

trmpton Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 What happened to the Laxey swimmer? Did they just let that go and hope people would forget? No action taken despite a previous warning would surely cast doubt on some of the other convictions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cissolt Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 The staycation business is booming with the reluctance to open borders. Old Howie must be pretty pleased with this year's bookings! I note that his accomodations are available for covid isolation too. I have trouble accepting the impartial decision making when there is so much money up for grabs. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
