UK tests before travel makes sense, as does being double jabbed. Though, second one wouldn't sit well with a lot of the younger folks, until they've had the opportunity to get their second. The younger folk get a test pre travel, the older don’t have to because double jabbed. Plenty of places already using it as a way to allow travel without isolation. Why do we always have to be so behind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit different to the thirty quid here per test. Edit: Well, they've dropped in price, but they're still not particularly cheap compared to on Island.

Nom de plume Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Do we have any idea at all when Comin, fuelled by the EAG, will come out & destroy the hospitality sector further by announcing extended border closures to our disease riddled cousins from beyond the water?

Nom de plume Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) The University of Warwick ladies & gentlemen. Where the IOM Government & the EAG go to for scientific advice. The same University that advised the Government school kids wouldn’t transmit the virus if they returned to classroom education. They have form for pissing into the wind and soaking their own pants.

Cambon Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 3 hours ago, Happier diner said: Whilst this is mathematically true. Its not statistically significant as it stands. Its basically gone from bugger all to slightly more bugger all, but still bugger all. If you look at my graph you will see that the rate is extremely low compared to the peak in Spring Really? Uk briefing yesterday said the 7day average hospitalisation rate was up 50% to 5/100,000, and growing. On the grounds that 30/100,000 as a total infection rate is apparently our current target for easing borders, this is very concerning. The R rate was also quoted as 1.2-1.4. Your graph is very pretty. @trmpton I agree, they need to ease borders slightly to allow more visitors and movement. Currently we only have 150-250 a day coming in with no issues. Time to expand a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Looks like ireland are doubling the quarantine period for uk arrivals. Seems a wise move, wonder if we should do the same here? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
