They have, but they're in a difficult position now as they've not ordered sufficient vaccines so there only measure against the newly arrived delta is lockdown.They’ve done a much better job than many of keeping covid under control though haven’t they? Many people, not yourself necessarily, been screaming for tighter controls on borders to prevent new variants coming in, but then criticise exactly that
It’s not exactly straightforward to get back into Britain at the moment either.

Yeah I mean returning to visit is not exactly easy, despite being a British citizen.I thought you lived in Italy and not the U.K.?

I’ve not seen my family since December 2019, why should I not see them if I’ve been fully vaccinated?Not the same as an Australian trying to actually return home to be fair. If I had parents in Italy I’d be restricted as it’s not my domicile wouldn’t I? I certainly would in Germany
I’ve not seen my family since December 2019, why should I not see them if I’ve been fully vaccinated?
The problem is that they only accept negative test results in English, French or Spanish.

That is ridiculous.This is a different argument to Australia - one things for certain you would not be allowed there under any circumstances without a fortnight in a hotel room even if you lived there
No idea - negative in Italian is negativo.Seems stupid, what difference does the language make
No idea - negative in Italian is negativo.

Same in Spanish, unless it’s feminine then it’s negativa. Positive is positivo or positiva also in Spanish, presume the same for Italian. Seems ridiculous, we all speak Germanic based languages with commonality, there needs to be some common sense when it’s so obvious what it’s saying especially when the exact same word is used in an approved language.No idea - negative in Italian is negativo.
How a mature democracy deals with this issue
Australia: New South Wales confirms first Covid-related death in 10 months
A woman in her 90s died in Sydney, as state officials warn of a surge in new infections.www.bbc.co.uk
Thank god all vulnerable people are vaccinated - well actually let’s thank the government - and that we can return to normal next Monday and live like normal human beings
It’s brilliant isn’t it?
We can thank the government for the vaccine rollout (esp not giving the rollout to one of their mates at a huge extra cost) but can we also say we may have been returned to normal already if they hadn't made such an utter shitshow or pretty much everything else requiring us to keep on putting restrictions back in.
For the record I think Johnson is a better PM than Starmer could ever in his wildest dreams hope to be. Or indeed anyone in Labour who are pathetic, impossible to like and unelectable. Not that I’m totally clueless about politics (but I am compared to most), I just don’t have a “side”
Abdication of responsibility by the man elected to make decisions.The mask situation is going to be clear as mud isn't it?
Don't worry, our world beating test and trace system will be on top of things when cases surge.The mask situation is going to be clear as mud isn't it?
The government’s test and trace service is “panicking” in a rush to fill thousands of vacant contact tracing positions – just months after making thousands of clinical staff redundant – amid fears a summer wave of coronavirus will see a 100,000 infections a day.
The Independent understands the private companies running the service, Serco and Sitel, have been asked to recruit up to 7,000 new call-centre staff to speak to patients who have tested positive for Covid-19.
Under the plans, the new recruits will have no clinical training and be paid at substantially cheaper rates than the nurses and other clinical staff who were made redundant en masse in May as test and trace bosses said demand on the service had reduced.
The vaccine numbers now are dog shit.
Reckon weve got to the ones who will take a first dose?
Looks like we will end up with about 88% of adults taking a vaccine. Not bad really
Apart from indoors if there’s lot of people if you give a toss but no one will make youJaved confirming now in the commons all restrictions lifted next Monday

Does Sajid Javid have any kind of medical/ health background or experience prior to taking this role?
Nope like every other health secretary I can think of
Kinda weird really
Yeah, without getting into arguments about the decision, the role of a minister is to take advice from experts, and also civil servants on implimentation and implications, and filter it through a political lens to decide what to do, and what not to do.Why is it? The role is not to cure people personally
Both they and New Zealand especially New Zealand require less import of goods and central hub airport transportation
Also the policy now is screwed as they’ve vaccinated hardly anyone so will lock people in and out forever as their only way out of this

Well... no doubt dubed will be along to tell me that's not what happensbut that's how I've always seen it!
