Cancelling flights from Portugal. They do realise that anyone desperate to come here will just travel across the border and hop on a flight from Malaga.They should have cancelled flights back in September. And they should have been testing more people who they allowed to travel. I feel that far too much was allowed to happen, whilst restaurants, bars and other businesses were told to close. It never made sense to allow people to take holidays abroad while others were made to struggle financially.
I think all flights should stop for a while to allow the country time to recover.Cancelling flights from Portugal. They do realise that anyone desperate to come here will just travel across the border and hop on a flight from Malaga.
There are hardly any flights too and from Malaga and you have to go to a clinic to get a test upto 72 hours before departure or no fly.Cancelling flights from Portugal. They do realise that anyone desperate to come here will just travel across the border and hop on a flight from Malaga.
It’s more the mixture of loud noice, music, quite a lot different noises, laughter and my MIL noticed that they always seem to have a lot of alcohol bottles in recycling.You don’t know that it is a party though. If it’s happening everyday I’d say the likelihood is that they don’t understand how loud they are actually being. They may have moved from a house where the neighbours couldn’t hear them or didn’t mention it to them. Sometimes I don’t realise how loud I’ve got my music on, especially if I’m loading the dishwasher or wandering around downstairs cleaning. Luckily I get on well with my neighbour so she texts me if it’s disturbing her and I’ll turn it down.
Honestly though I get why someone who works in it, really doesn’t want to discuss it outside of work, is it worth losing a friend over?This experience has taught me who matters.
I’m dumping a few friends over this, their true colours have come out.
One works in the medical field & vaccinations yet she doesn’t want to discuss it outside of work.
It’s the only thing to discuss! For someone close to it I think that’s a mean attitude.
I get that she wants to leave work at work but it’s a pandemic & friends should be there for one another.
I don’t blame her. Covid can be consuming for the average Joe, never mind someone who sees it day in day out. I hate talking about it with my family and friends. I hate them asking questions. I’m free to discuss it here because I can choose what conversations I participate in and what I feel like discussing. I set the tone.This experience has taught me who matters.

Honestly the same goes the other way. If she’s around it all the time and finds it overwhelming to discuss outside work, particularly if you think it’s all there is to discuss you might be bringing it up way too much. If you insist on bringing something up that she doesn’t want to talk about you aren’t being there for her either.This experience has taught me who matters.

I think that’s ridiculous tbh. I don’t blame your friend for not wanting to discuss it outside of work. When you are constantly surrounded by talk of the same subject, it can become too much. It can affect you mentally. Maybe they just want to forget about it for a while and talk about something normal.This experience has taught me who matters.

I’d take a sit down meal alone at this stage!When am I going to be able to go to Nando’s with someone who isn’t my immediate family
I feel the same as you!Honestly? I reckon normal normal life is a year or 2 off. I reckon like last year, the summer will be less restrict, the winter more restricted but less than currently, and the same again for 2022 but gradually more freedom.
hoping it’s quicker than that, but I am preparing to be disappointed, so anything else is good
That's my thoughts. Once all 9 categories are done by Easter that would be 99% of hospital admissions and deaths protected by some vaccine so there would be zero need at that point to have any more restrictions. If you're healthy and young then you shouldn't have your life put on hold with rules past that point when you've as much chance of dying of Covid as being run over.If the hospitalisations drop to a level where the NHS is no longer at risk of being overwhelmed (this would be after phase one completes plus lag so not until May) then I see no reason they would continue with restrictions. Certainly nothing like lockdown.
We will never get to zero hospitalisations or deaths, it will never happen. They have said it’s when the risk reaches an acceptable level.
If the vaccine is effective there is no reason to believe things are not going to improve relatively soon.
Even Whitty said if vaccine is effective in reducing hospitalisations and severe disease then worst case scenario we need some minor restrictions next winter but nothing compared to what we are facing now.
I think your attitude is a mean one to have. I assume you don’t work in the same arena otherwise you’d have an understanding as to why the friend doesn’t want to discuss it outside of work. Actually for someone working in vaccinations, not discussing it outside of work is probably a good idea, it’d be unethical to push her opinion. It isn’t the only thing to discuss, maybe ask her is she’s ok and how she’s getting on - no doubt stressed and adjusting to a lot of change. It doesn’t sound like you’re there for her much when your opinion is incredibly black and white and that she should be discussing it.This experience has taught me who matters.
