I agree, it has not gone away. I was shocked about the utter lack of airport testing (I thought the self quarantine approach was a total smoke screen and farce.) and opening of the borders.
I do believe in free choice but the impact on others is just too serious if you were to have an accident.
We have an NHS GP living next to us. Her mother lives in France. She goes to France with the kids during the summer holiday every year. This year as the travel ban was lifted she took them out, her husband joining them a week later. They had been out three days when the France quarantine was re-applied.
They came home the previous weekend. My understanding of the fast altering rules means two weeks quarantine?
They have been out shopping twice already (in the late evening).
They have had the parents around for one of the boys birthday.
They went out again as a family this weekend,
I made a joke about how they were bearing up with the quarantine and two young lads and she said they were not worried about it.
It will be interesting to see when she returns to work. I would only hope that they have been tested.
I agree Alistair. All we hear is "You've got to get your life back", and a seemingly reckless disregard for the obvious. We're quite happy at home. We can see our small family, and sure a holiday would be good, but until the masses change behaviour, this will continue world wide.
It's a permanent change, and the sooner people come to terms with it, the sooner it will be controlled better. 3,000plus a day now testing positive.
