I do i dont. are figures nowere near theres, we'll be fine apart from a few local 'outbreaks' which hopefully people dont lose their minds over "2 week ago, Spain had cases around the 500-600 a day. That's EXACTLY where we are now. Their rates had dropped to 100-300 a day. Hopefully we'll be more like Italy and Germany who appear to be avoiding a 2nd spike at the moment as cases level for 4-6 weeks now. | |||

"Hope you right But think wrong as posted on another topic. the week on week figures/trends are generally falling, slowly but surely but the data tells us this Yes, but it's, 2 week lag" not sure thats totally accurate but its the figures and data we have today and now?? ans when you look back 2/3/4/5 weeks ago at these figures they are steadily falling so the trend tells us the vast majority of people are following the rules and/or the virus is weakening as the deaths and hospitalisations also coming down slowly too | |||

"People don't follow, guidelines " I'd be interested to know roughly how many are following the guidelines... And how many aren't. Hopefully the unguiders....are just a small but noisey bunch in the same way as we love to let minority have a disproportionate impact. But unless anyone has any facts... We are all just guessing. | |||

"So. Genuine question, you are in a position of power. What if anything would you do? " Obvious answer is to quarantine anyone who has visited Spain in last 2 weeks regardless of where they flew home from. | |||

" Surely it would be going back over old ground that if you delay measures by say a week then you let infection back in. They don't seem to have learnt that you can't delay stuff. If it needs doing it needs doing and you have to ride rough shod over the doubters. If you follow the logic this is the right thing to do ? " They decided face coverings in shops would be compulsory but then waited 11 days | |||

Also how long will it be before Spain reciprocates and enforces quarantine in their country and islands? | |||

It's the covid sense where we are all made to wear a mask even though some of us live in places where you are more likely to get 4 numbers on the lottery than catch it. I think the word common sense should be replaced with covid sense. It's a question of suck it up dudes. Enjoy your holiday. | |||

No and as mentioned not in my plans but seems very possible for anyone who decided to" Yes there are lots of loopholes and grey areas. I suppose for me as i see the only way our of this is to reduce and contain the infection... I'd rather look at ways and take my part of the responsibility to do that, than find loopholes that allow me to potentially continue the spread of the infection. | |||

"I think everyone coming in on flights since March 23 should have been tested and isolated until they got a negative result. " Yes. But we didn't. So... How about do it right now. We have this huge testing capacity. Better still do it at the departing airport. Obs can't do all airports but the 20bbusiest ones would cover 80 percent of the traffic. | |||

"It’s important to separate science and business on this. They wanted to reboot the travel industry so they lifted restrictions. The science says that’s mental. " I don't think they did. Probably what the scientists said is that travel could be reinstated but there are risks involved and I bet if you look in the measures it'll say somewhere that quarantine measure can be reinstated at short notice. You know back in March everyone on here who hates the government policies said that lockdown should have come a week earlier and stranded well over a million people abroad. Now the've stranded 100,000 people abroad at short notice the same people will be up in arms and condemning them for that. What should they have done. Not let them go abroad ? | |||

But the rolling 7 day average is increasing and for both deaths and infections. So it's not accurate to say it is decreasing. It bottomed out at 62 and is 67 now. For infections it bottomed at 554 and now its 668. Semantics I admit but if the accurate info is there we may as well use it. | |||

"The reasons the numbers goes up is cos they have relaxed the lockdown all over the world and let people travel again. I am in favour of another few more months of a lockdown, people should take responsibility and not travel during thede times." Also, the brits have to stay in quarentine as well in return from their holiday for 2 weeks, is it really worth that time? | |||

"Fly to Gibraltar, cross the border, have your Spanish holiday, back to Gibraltar fly home no need to isolate. Not been thought through has it" Have you checked the declaration that travellers make? I'd assume that it would check for the countries that have been travelled in. | |||

"The data suggests our figures are heading back up again. Whether it's spikes or something worse I have no idea. It would be prudent to keep our heads down and take this seriously. they dont... week on week trends show a steady decline. still stay safe though I'm getting my information from Independent Sage and the Zoe Covid research, correct as of Friday. yes and look at the last 7/8 weeks figures. we are doing ok "**”..... we are doing ok ....”** ————————————- That’s what Spain, Australia and a few other countries said a few weeks ago, - only to see the numbers rise again. That’s not to say it will happen here, but it it possible that it can happen just like it has happened elsewhere. If we stick to the guidelines as best as possible, it can help prevent any potential spikes. | |||

"It’s bloody crazy , the Canary Islands are no where near Spain , there have been only a few cases on the islands , you cannot go to Spain unless it’s essential travel but we can go to the canary’s but have to isolate when we come home , there’s more people catching COVID in Sandwell and Birmingham then the whole of the canaries I agree, doesn't make sense, does it "What doesn't make sense? Could be why the canary islands have a low rate and more people are catching it in Brum and sandwell. So they open the doors, brits flood in,,and the islands have to close down again . Screwing it up for a speedy return to fab life. You only have to go to Weymouth, Torquay, Leighton, Bournemouth, to see the so called ,,responsible way people are treating this virus. Absolute nuts, follow the rules and we might,, just might beat it to some degree. All the self styled experts on this soon disappear when proven what they preach about ,no problem, are wrong | |||

"I think if we hit a second wave here it will be the UK citizens that will be either refused entry or asked to quarantine when travelling to other countries.

"Maybe now people will take this virus seriously It's not gone away and on verge of massive 2nd spike People acting like things back to normal!!! Do you think we are just a couple of weeks behind them? I do i dont. are figures nowere near theres, we'll be fine apart from a few local 'outbreaks' which hopefully people dont lose their minds over
2 week ago, Spain had cases around the 500-600 a day. That's EXACTLY where we are now. Their rates had dropped to 100-300 a day.
Hopefully we'll be more like Italy and Germany who appear to be avoiding a 2nd spike at the moment as cases level for 4-6 weeks now." | |||

I actually agree with this."That is a rediculous suggestion. There does need some clarity about travel, the country needs travel, all countries do and some more than others who rely on tourism. There must be a better way to facilitate travel between country's, it could be a procedure of exact testing on entry and exit at airports. Nations should have the means to do this instead of asking people to quarantine, that will just kill international travel. | |||

Fortunately we don't suffer from the "work" affliction "We fly to Australia on the 12 August when we land we are taken by bus to a hotel room where we can not leave the room for 14 day meals are brought to the room we are tested 3 times during our time in isolation Then we are presented with a bill for $3700 for our stay if we are negative we can then leave the hotel If it saves one life it’s worth it Be like 2 weeks in a posh prison  | |||

Cases are increasing around the world, it is only by measures like social distancing that the virus can be kept under control lack of acknowledgement that this virus will be with us for a few years yet will only lead to a second wave How do you know for a fact that all you say is the truth? I am going on what I read and what I listen to by real experts. This is not rocket science, it is a pandemic, a highly contagious illness Many countries have cases and deaths on a downward trend. It isn't all doom and gloom. Yes and some that are easing restrictions have seen an increase in cases. Just making the point that this virus is with us maybe for good and as shit as it is if people act responsinly we can contain it Yeah, I want to get this over with as much as anyone. But that requires containment, understanding risk, risk management, effective therapeutics, and widespread vaccine uptake if/ when one becomes available. Just thinking positive will just prolong this crap. Your right but this government has not got a clue, and I would just be as critical if it was Labour that were making a mess of things. Take New Zealands premier who is light years ahead of our politicians in everything she does. Having hope for a future often derives from strong leadership. I almost said strong and stable there ha!! But fek she was even worse?? Sure. This will require adequate government intervention as well. I fear that's not coming. I do everything I can to protect myself and those around me. And I'll talk about my understanding. If that makes me a doom and gloom merchant, so be it. I'm sure the virus is delighted by uninformed positivity." We both caught in april courtesy of the nhs. So our outlook on the virus is a little different I suppose. | |||

"They should have grounded all flights at the start and made people ware masks ,not 3 monthes down the lane. They were still flying businessmen out when it was lock down ,. And fruit pickers , where I work a Romanian man went home for a week and was able to fly back to the uk without being tested , it’s been a farce , same as face masks in shops and on public transport, should of been from the start what i cant understand is when people moan about people not being quarantined off a flight on one hand while saying we have to get the economy going in the other hand ... i could take a trip to manchester and catch it just as easily as i could a trip to romania ... hell i could catch it on a trip to asda testing sure ... but unless we were virus free and therefore the aim was to keep the virus out , locking people up in hotels just seems a colossal waste of time and money " it is | |||
