We have to if only for the medicine side of things. Less food choice would be fine, but the medicines are non negotiable unless we have a stockpile that wasn't needed at brexit time.

50% of food comes in via France.

Then there is also the exports too where UK hauliers need to return.

LF tests are an option, but even they are as we know not brilliant.

From the article, roadmap is on track and pubs can chose social distancing opening without vaccine passports, or full capacity with vaccine passports.

Big business for the negative testing over the summer for People who want their weekly "freedom pass" before they're allowed a vaccine

It's not about being 100% safe though- if it was we'd never reopen because it'll never be 100% safe

The government’s review into social distancing measures, due to report in June, is currently considering whether allowing venues that demand Covid status on entry – which includes either a recent test or proof of vaccine – could be allowed to relax all rules on social distancing.

65000 cases in a day in France!!!

 

I think we need to be putting them on the red list unfortunately. 

This number is not correct.

We should find out tomorrow how far they've managed to get through the 55-59 group after this bumper week:

Yeah, it's far from rosy but it's not 65,000 cases horror story bad.

Hi Barry, I am sorry to keep asking for clarity, but I still do not understand your comment.

 

Why would the Germans know all about being humble to history?  I do not understand your reply about how “us Brits and Germans” want to be more mindful than the Swedes. 

 

I do not want to upset you, but it would be helpful if you could be clearer. 

 

Could I also clarify the “more planes about to fall out of the sky” comment?  What is this in reference to?

Not much of a choice - why don't they have the balls to just mandate it?

More business for the testing companies - weekly tests for all staff, done privately

Wonder if they'll have a Serco team going round to check businesses have been ensuring everyone scans in?

So much "I would do differently, if I knew it was coming".  How many people will plan for the next one, even though the last one was 100 (ish) years ago?  I know I will be putting a fiver aside for the bet on the next one, despite the odds being so poor!

Buy a history book or spend more time listening in School in the morning in regards to the first comment.  WW2 / British Empire / War Crimes and so on is all the help you are getting.

On the second point, its in relation to the current daily covid death toll.  Sleep well x

 

I have had this comment before - "it's the war" (paraphrase).

 

What does “WW2/British Empire/War Crimes” and the specific focus on Germany being humble about history, have to do with the current events (or more specifically, the comment you were replying to – the German Easter lockdown)?

 

I am afraid you are not being clear here – apologies as you are confusing me.

 

“You would have thought the Germans knew all about being humble to history …”

 

I have given you the courtesy of quoting the entire back-history of this comment, and my questions relating to it.  I would appreciate it if you could explain, clearly, what it was you were trying to say.
