Uhtred Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I would certainly not support the opening of the border as soon as mid-July. Various relaxation measures come into effect in England on 4/7 and sufficient time is required to assess how the infection rates may respond to those changes. I would suggest at least a month. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you 100% sister. When the grockles come down to their holiday homes I'll be staying far away from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More like the only ones who want the borders open are a few snowflakes who want a summer jollyday. Poor little sweeties. How dare that nasty virus affect you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the blue Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I don’t think Comin are under that much pressure to open the borders. Holiday makers have pretty much written off going away for a summer holiday, this year and all he is hearing is “keep the borders closed”. I am sure we will manage without Mallorca for a few months. Travel for business and other non leisure reasons is likely to be different. If I was a betting man I would put money on a phased approach, such as the implementation of essential business/non leisure travel by mid to late July. I am betting on leisure travel commencing in some manner a month after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 It will definitely be a phased approach - that’s been the approach to everything so far, it’s been right to now, and I think it’s right this time. If the government have half the population upset because they’re moving too quickly, and half upset because they should just bloody get on with it, they’re probably doing ok. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it's half and half though. Apart from a few oddball blowhards here I've not heard anyone calling for an end to border controls. Business and retail especially is pleased to be back at work and knows full well that any new cases would mean people staying at home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously don’t get out much from isolation, but lots of business people particularly in hospitality sector want borders open 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 The only people who want the borders open right now are covid-deniers and selfish pricks. We'll get there when we get there. Manx people should understand that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That miniscule part of the hospitality sector which depends upon visitors. What percent of GDP would you estimate that represents? Less than 1%? As much as 2%? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
