"I'm recently back from Bulgaria, no mask wearing, even on trains and buses, seems a lot of resistance to the vaccine. Been on the green list most of the time. I had no problems there. I'm not arguing about the merits of wearing masks but just putting it out for a balanced viewpoint " You are lucky you did not get covid. They are at the very bottom of the vaccination rate in Europe, with around 20% of the adult population . This situation is likely to bite the Bulgarians very soon. According to Reuters Late on Tuesday, interim Health Minister Stoicho Katsarov said the situation at hospitals was critical and appealed to Bulgarians to observe the restrictions. Out of 700 intensive care beds across the country, 608 are occupied. "If these measures do not work, the only option left will be a full lockdown and a halt of economic life," Katsarov said. https://www.reuters.com/world/bulgaria-hits-record-high-daily-coronavirus-cases-hospitals-stretched-2021-10-27/ | |||

People who are not afraid or are ignorant of the covid dangers would notbbother to test in the first place. Therefore, not a lot of cases of people being tested positive. There may be only 4,500 cases a day but the actual number of people who are positive is a multiple of that. Also, not wearing masks and no social distancing etc can only make things worse. They were lucky because they were not hit hard by covid like the Italians and the Spaniards. So a lot Bulgarians think covid is no big deal. And this is why so few have been vaccinated. | |||

You said he was lucky not to get covid. He wasn’t. He could have got it, but he was still more likely not to, given the stats. That’s all. | |||

" They were lucky because they were not hit hard by covid like the Italians and the Spaniards. So a lot Bulgarians think covid is no big deal. And this is why so few have been vaccinated." I knew I shouldn't have posted in here It shows that you cannot compare countries which is what the original poster was doing. I assume your thoughts on being vaccinated is an assumption? My understanding is there are different reasons. | |||

You traveled to a country where the majority of the population do not take covid seriously, are not vaccinated and are not taking precautions. Their 20% vaccination rate is telling. I do not even have to compare them to other countries. They are miles behind. Winter is coming and it will not be easy there. | |||

But things are changing as per today’s news. Grappling with surging coronavirus cases and a stalled vaccination program, Hungary allowed companies to force staff to get a Covid-19 vaccine as a condition of employment. The government will also demand that public-sector workers receive a shot, while compulsory mask-wearing will be re-introduced on public transport from next week, Cabinet Minister Gergely Gulyas told a briefing Thursday. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-10-28/hungary-to-allow-firms-to-mandate-covid-vaccine-as-cases-surge | |||

"There has been a lot of unrest in Italy about the current restrictions. Dickhead are people that see a tiny proportion of what goes on in a country and come back home and use it as ammunition to be arrogant on a swingers forum " As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I live in Italy, and the vast majority of everyday life here is not in a state of unrest! But of course that doesn’t sell newspapers, so thank you for reading up on things and explaining to me how things are in the country I live in, and imagining that it’s others that are arrogant. | |||

"Masks in public, vaccination passes to go to theme parks and eat out. Ten times fewer cases than the UK. No dickheads complaining. I want to go back. I went to Denmark, less cases than Italy. No masks, no vaccine passports, no rules " Denmark had the covid pass earlier . It just happened that they had phased it out by the time you got there. In fact Denmark was the first country in Europe to introduce the covid pass way back in April 2021 this year. The Danes accepted the pass quickly as it offered a quick path out of lockdown. The pass was also agreed upon across all parliamentary parties, (even the opposition), with the promise that it would only be used for a finite time. So, there was very little opposition from politicians and the public regarding the pass. They have since phased out the pass last month ( in September ) as a result of high uptake of the vaccine. Up to 76% of over-12s are fully vaccinated and a third booster is being rolled out. In Europe, Denmark has the highest percentage of total population who have received full dose vaccination. Due to the high uptake in vaccination, the Danish health authorities have declared that the virus is "no longer a critical threat to society" due to a low incidence of severe disease and death. They have now downgraded Covid-19 to a no longer "socially critical" disease. Covid is currently not a serious threat in Denmark because : 1. of The successful vaccine rollout, and experts have pointed to high levels of trust in authorities from the public. 2. There is also a strong sense of social responsibility and accountability in Danish society. Both the politicians and the pubic have cooperated very well in bringing down cases, hospitalisations, and deaths. So... in a scenario where there is high vaccine uptake, and a high level of social responsibility within society; there is less need for government-imposed restrictions. | |||

"so why did you come back, maybe the freedome to do what you want is a part, lets face it italy is in effect a comunist country in all but na,e, ive been there alot so its not a daily mail view, yes we need to do more here but is the way they do things better?, gueniunly intersted to know" to be fair I was in Italy last August and found the way they were handling it much better than at home. Everyone was wearing their masks without complaints. They checked my paperwork upon landing and before letting me through. Yet when I flew home to Manchester airport... they didnt check anything except my passport. And we were queuing with a flight that had come back from a country that was meant to be quarantining... they just asked us which flight we had been on. Didnt check x | |||

"Masks in public, vaccination passes to go to theme parks and eat out. Ten times fewer cases than the UK. No dickheads complaining. I want to go back. " My sister lives in Milan. She says people just follow the advice and go about their day. Masks in public, vaccination passports small price to pay and her 18 year old is finally out mixing with friends after nearly two years. | |||

"I've been to Greece, Spain and most recently Hungary since the start of the pandemic. Controls at their airports were taken seriously whereas I just needed to scan my passport to get into the UK with no further checks. Many European countries are well ahead of us with vaccinations now and as previously stated mask wearing and venue passporting. Guess some of that explains why we're allowing so many of our population to die of covid in comparison. " Further checks were not needed to get back into the U.K. as the passenger locator form is linked to your passport. If flagged up as not completed then they do further checks. I queried it when I returned to U.K. recently | |||

"If masks and passports work so well, why had Wales and Scotland been worse off than England in the last week? There is zero evidence to suggest Passports provide any benefit. If you’ve been vaccinated you can still get it and pass it on?? And masks are a total waste of time " Finally. Someone speaking sense and can see through the complete bs this all is. Refreshing knowing there’s still some sane individuals around whilst the majority remain plugged in. | |||

Take up of masks in major cities in Scotland and Wales has been on the decline, and pretty much will mirror England I would imagine as the time goes by. I do expect numbers to rise significantly as they did in England, and I wouldn't be surprised if we start to see England cases start to stabilise. All guess work but lets see | |||

Also the fact with all the other issues in the world, the stink some kick up over wearing a mask is quite pathetic. Basically end of the day I know there's enough twats out there who no doubt don't give a shit, feel immune & will do as they please regardless. Unfortunately this applies to life in general not just the pandemic. Oh well just keep to your side of the street please! | |||

"It appears the mainstream media has successfully brainwashed too many people into believing that a piece of material will save them from this killer virus The science offers little to no evidence of it being the case And I’ve said it before, but if you can get infected and pass it on after being vaccinated, what is the point of a vaccine passport?? If you aren’t vaccinated don’t put yourself in a position where you feel vulnerable " I believe the point of the vaccine passport is to protect the unvaccinated by restricting their exposure to large crowds. | |||
