When the planes start flying so will covid,
No she isn't, i totally agree with Prudie. Have you ever been to butlins, its full of children who by and large don't have the vaccine, and they are the little super spreaders that some fear. For my sins i have been to Butlins, only once and that was enough, thousands mixing and mingling, kids and adults alike,
Well, let's have a think
Spain's 7 day new infection rate is 47.1 per 100,000 people. The UK's is 23.3.
Spain has administered 24m shots of the vaccine (44 shots per 100 people) with 16.8% of the population having received both shots. The UK had administered 59.2m shots (88 shots per 100 people) with 32.5% of the population having received both shots.
So who should be keeping who away from whom?
//I'm surprised the high horse riders aren't also slamming those wanting to go to Blackpool, Bognor or any other staycation destination.//
Or Bolton, even (385 cases per 100,000 people in the last 7 days). So where would you rather travel to, Bolton or Benidorm?
The country was told that vaccination would be its route to normality. I've been double jabbed. That gives me 90% protection from something I was unlikely to contract anyway. That's good enough for me and I shall be returning to normality just as soon as I am allowed to. Restrictions were placed on the population to counter some clearly identifiable threats (excess deaths and the NHS being overwhelmed). Both those threats are now no longer evident. Those who wish to behave as if those restrictions are still in place can do so. There's nothing stopping them. Everybody else can get on with their lives.

So who should be keeping away from who, I suppose the countries who at the moment believe they haven't yet got the India strain, it seems Germany believe we are a risk, unless there's another political reason? Can't see any reason I would holiday in Bolton, plus I believe they are working overtime now to get more vaccinated.
