Yes I saw that, let's hope they ease things a little bit so these people can earn some money, they can't live on thin air.

OOPS !, The PM has decided that he really meant 3 months...……...not convinced but it is in Black and White .

Good to see the EU apologising to Italy, just Spain and Greece to go.

Platitudes... the panacea that offers nothing.

That's what can happen when the population numbers you use are based on last year's fudged election.

Maybe a submarine placed on hold? Or the early retirement funds of a handful of General's has been eviscerated? Or maybe they just found some cash down the back of the cushions on the sofa?

Or maybe someone just got a conscience , and sold a couple of watches .

Let's see here, 9.6 million living in city states on the periphery of inhospitable deserts versus 329 million scattered between assholes and breakfast time in 4 time zones (in the US alone).

Yes, I can see how easy it is for some to claim that the Emirates (the country, not the airline) is way, way ahead of the rest of the civilized world.

Commercial ploy by a beleaguered airline. Next?

You will find the discount on power when you get your bill it’s probably not much. The free power has gone up for low users to, up to 90 units from, up to 50 units

The electricity bill is in it is less than October while using a little more power
Now
655 units ฿2732
October
649 units ฿2789

The discount may not be in this bill but is 3% from April

Never mind Commercial ploy
From a purely selfish prospective, I'd be happy to have my finger pricked if it would allow me to travel
I'm not that keen on waiting to be forced to have a vaccination that I have no idea what's in it before being allowed anywhere.

Getting back to Covid-19. Has anyone else noticed that the daily death rate in UK hospitals from tested victims has not been increasing a the double rate every 2/3 days as previous. It has been steady at around 8oo+ each day for nearly a week now. Hope this means that the peak of the virus has been reached and there should be a daily decrease coming soon. Hope for me old mum in Scotland at least.

Well the countries around the inhospitable deserts have done many more tests per head of population than the USA
The USA is also reducing the numbers of tests done per day and that is criminally stupid and doesn’t even get into the top 40 countries. Admittedly a few of the top countries have small populations but not most

If Emirates (the airline) has a 10 minute, non-laboratory, Covid-19 blood test that's good enough to get you a seat on their airplanes, why isn't it sharing this magnificent, great leap forward in virus testing technology with the rest of the free world?
