Some observations about the difference between Canada and Spain according to "Mr.Bumface".
That's about right ime. People here still mask up outdoors in town, even though it's not mandatory. the initial lockdown was hard and long but I think there is a strong sense of social responsibility here.shpalman wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 12:58 pmSome observations about the difference between Canada and Spain according to "Mr.Bumface".
I can't quite tell if he thinks things are better in Spain or in Canada. Maybe he is just "bummed-out" that he has to live in Canada.shpalman wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 12:58 pmSome observations about the difference between Canada and Spain according to "Mr.Bumface".

Switzerland has the highest number of people in intensive care (per million population) in some suitably defined subset of Europe.shpalman wrote: ↑Thu Aug 26, 2021 4:47 pmSeven destinations to be added to England’s Covid travel green list
Including Switzerland you f.cking idiots.
I suspect that in these kinds of comparisons, whatever substantial differences there may actually be are often amplified by different levels of language comprehension and media consumption.shpalman wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 12:58 pmSome observations about the difference between Canada and Spain according to "Mr.Bumface".

...although we of course have no actual idea, and it's another one of those binary qualitative outcomes which may hide various degrees of quantitative difference from "not so bad" to "stupid".Nearly a third of people arriving in England and Northern Ireland as the coronavirus Delta variant took off may have broken quarantine rules.

Travelers will not have to quarantine in government-sanctioned facilities, but a spokesperson for the Chilean tourism officials told Travel + Leisure that visitors will need to share the address at which they'll be isolating.
Germany accepts UK vaccinations, no problem. Christmas is still a way off, but I'd be surprised if this changed. https://uk.diplo.de/uk-en/02/coronaviru ... 32-7-panelheadshot wrote: ↑Tue Sep 21, 2021 1:53 pmFrau HS and I are trying to work out what we need to do to get to Germany for Christmas this year.
The UK Govt website says that travel between the two countries is allowed for fully vaccinated people - with no restrictions on arrival.
The German websites say that only certain people can travel from the UK to Germany - one is German citizens and family members, so that's good for us - but in different places on the German websites we've visited (official embassy and Govt websites - which I suppose could be down to local restrictions put in place) it states a need to isolate for 5 or 10 days (depending which website you read), which would put the kibosh on any Christmas visits.
Has anyone had any real-world experience here?
We're both fully vaccinated...
https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/c ... ar-AAPfwn2Vaccinated travelers will need to take a COVID-19 PCR test 72 hours prior to traveling to Chile and complete an online “Travelers’ Affidavit” form (which asks for travelers’ contact information, medical history, and previous travel history) within 48 hours of travel. In order to bypass the otherwise mandatory five-day quarantine, they will then need to take another COVID-19 PCR after arriving in Chile and isolate until a negative result is procured. Travelers will need to present proof of COVID-19 vaccination upon arrival, which they should upload prior to travel through the Chilean Ministry of Health’s online Mobility Pass.
Also required is proof of travel insurance to cover any COVID-19–related medical expenses with a minimum coverage of $30,000 for healthcare. International travelers must fly into Santiago, Iquique, or Antofagasta.
PCR 2 day after returning to UK tests also negative. Would anyone like to see the results?Trinucleus wrote: ↑Sat Oct 02, 2021 10:52 amOur experience coming to the end of our stay in Greece:
LFT test two days before returning- all very official at first sight, as you have to upload a photo of the test strip alongside your passport photo page...... then I realised there was nothing on the strip to identify it. We could have used the same one for a number of photos, and they couldn't tell. Being of a nervous disposition I'd taken another test set with us, and they have a QR code on the test which identifies you and can only be updated once.
Trip home - Jet2 staff checked we had passenger locator forms at check in. Arrived at Manchester with PLFs, test certificates and vaccine certificates as required, all carefully set up on the tablet . No-one asked to see them. Passport checks then straight off to baggage claim
