AFAICS most people get that 1% is one in a hundred.
Its a lot simpler than your justification

Hope you had a nice xmas btw. Jon

Hope you had a good Christmas too. I think we're hopfully heading towards the last lap on CV get those jabs in!!!

 

[busby]

I bet that was a much bigger issue then than it would be now? particularly if it was the left one.

It was my left one,,BUSBY,,

 

[Pelirocco]

But you cant get near Dover and Folkstone,,,Not sure about Portsmouth,,BUSBY.

We have a lorry booked on Portsmouth crossing Monday ,drivers need to get a covid test at port
Don't think crossings are open for non freight yet?

 

[Pelirocco]

Were booked on the tunnel 08:20 27/12/2020 to travel from France to the UK been stuck over in France so fingers crossed. Have self isolated for over 4 weeks had no contact with anyone, followed all the rules. In a motorhome so will not need any outside services except one stop for fuel. Gloves, masks, gel all at the ready. More worried for the lorry drivers who have been stuck

No problem coming back from France

 

[EuroTrotters]

Understand, but then its not really BFs fault is it?

I complained on Twitter. BF Are now sending texts to passengers

They are taking passengers to Spain who are Spanish Nationals, Spanish Residents or those with NIE’s.

We have NIE’s we need to travel for legal reasons. But, have cancelled as we don’t want to risk getting stopped at the Valencian border

We have just moved our BF booking from April to October.

I wonder if?

 

[gus-lopez]

It surprised me that only 23 lorry drivers have tested positive out of over 2000, travelling not the culprit of spreading coronavirus it seems

But only ended up at 36 out of 15,000 0,23% or 240/100,000

23 in 2000 is still 1150 per 100,000 its not a really small number.

as above

yes they are low numbers and that is part of the fiddle on the numbers were given - its actually 1.15% but ONS et al display it at 1150/100,000 much more dramatic isnt it!

0,23%

You can see why they were worried

Coronavirus: France finds first case of new variant

The health ministry says an asymptomatic Frenchman who arrived from England tested positive.

www.bbc.co.uk

If many more cases are discovered and traced to the UK it does look like the variant originated here.

Yes & they worked in the Uk as did the one captured in Madrid havig given it to Mum ,Dad & sister all now isolated

Where did you find the snail reference lol On Google translate ? More to do with case numbers and the new mutation of the virus plus Christmas mixing of families :-(

I understood that, once the transition period has ended, we will be unable to travel to any Schengen/EU countries because of the Schengen/EU Covid rules. With the exception of residents of a short list of exempted countries, of which the UK is not one, only EU/Schengen residents are permitted to travel within the zone's borders.
It looks as though, if you haven't got into the EU by 31st Dec, you won't be going until the Covid rules have been lifted.
Hope I'm wrong.

Shengen and covid are completely different things. It country by country as far as the virus is concerned.

Yeah like I said. Different things. This is EU guidance. Schengen is different. It's a common travel area. Similar, but not the same thing.

 

[Hotelman]

I thought it was a recommendation from the E.U. But upto individual countries to set the rules, I may be wrong .....

 

[The Wino]

I think some countries at the moment might set stricter requirements than the EU but doubt if any will be more lenient when we have high levels and the new variant.

For France there are only a small number of TCN ( which the UK is on 1 January ) countries who can enter during the pandemic and given the virus numbers I doubt the UK will make the list but time will tell .

Frances figures are quite different to ours, a huge spike in October and now under control, I wonder if the curfew is what has worked for them. it makes a lot of sense to me that if there is nobody allowed on the streets at night then it is much easier to police.
