Gulp!!! One of the people my wife supports at work is the lead contact with a firm called Cognizant, title sponsors of Aston Martin F1, liasing on a daily basis. Imagine his delight last week, when he opened up a corporate invite from them, and it was for a virtual wine tasting event held to coincide with the Friday of the GP. Meanwhile his boss, also supported by the missus, and who has nothing to do with said firm, received an invite to the Sunday of the GP, complete with a luxury transfer from his home address and back, full hospitality and pit lane access! My wife's a massive F1 fan, and heavily involved in the account, they sometimes send her a complementary lanyard holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 So this month we've seen infections rise from around 3,000 per day to nearly 17,000. Is this what has the government panicking? The death rate remains very low so it seems while more folk are catching Covid, less are dying, possibly because it is younger folk who are catching it, that is those more likely to recover? Meanwhile... António Costa, who opened up Portugal for quarantine-free breaks in mid-May to British tourists with a proof of a negative Covid test, hinted at a U-turn in his policy to travellers coming from the UK as he spoke to reporters at an EU summit. Costa said his government had permitted UK tourists to enter Portugal in recent weeks on the basis of a low number of Covid cases. The UK now has the worst Covid case rate in Europe due to the spread of the Delta variant. I guess this will infuriate some but whilst I'm not wholly in agreement with the decision to prolong the lockdown, there does at least appear to be a modicum of critical thinking behind it.

G STAR RAM Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 In addition to publishing the countries that have moved to the green list, the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, also announced that UK residents who are fully vaccinated will not have to isolate when travelling back from amber list countries. He said the government would set out further details next month but he anticipated this being introduced "later in the summer". Why on earth is Shapps on about introducing things later in the summer. We were told ALL remaining restrictions would be lifted at step 4. Angry Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
