Covid - news and views

I already have flexi tickets for late August returning October. In a normal year would have been in Croatia at that time but thats looking unlikely and we would prefer to go a bit earlier if we are going to France as much of it closes in line with the weather early October..

Some time back I posted that I could see that countries might view proof of vaccination as an indication that you would be unlikely to burden their health service but, as the vaccine does not stop you catching or passing on covid, what would be the reason or advantage.

Perhaps the fact that if you contracted it, in all likelihood the severity would be reduced and the chances of you clogging up a hospital bed / intensive care much less.

I’m wondering if sites might stay open later in order to service us late comers. In 2019 as we came north in early October,  some sites had actually closed earlier than advertised. Although fortunately it didn’t matter to us as we were able to utilise Aires. However this year,  given how poorly sites have faired as a result of covid, they may want to remain open if there is enough demand.

I was commenting in regard to common sense and being onboard the program.

I have read criticism of the lack of fines (elsewhere). The police had little chance if they were to avoid a riot I suspect.

Interesting comment? when it is still essential to keep social distancing ,and as "advised by the experts" the vacine is too new to say for sure that it stops transmission or catching the virus , although they do say if infected the symptoms should not be so severe

The bigger idiots are those that allowed football and rugby to continue, the outcome of this match was obvious. Allowed just to appease the public.
