Don't ask me - ask the Torygraph.

But they will have to jump through a series of hoops to do that. That is the essential difference.
Are people that deluded that they actually think the guy from Peru is just a visitor.

Re: Coronavirus
I am a member of a FB group in which loads of French people are posting that they are nipping over to France for a few days to see family, or are coming here for an extended holiday and are looking for shared homes to rent. Or even moving here looking for work!
And none appear to have any problems crossing the borders in either direction.

Re: Coronavirus
OK so how are these twice weekly home tests going to work?
Are they going to be sent out with 2 test a week per person per household, or are we going to have to request them every week, or get them from our pharmacy?
I can see chaos if the Royal Mail is going to have to deliver all those tests.

Still looking for your point?

The point is you keep saying it’s flu - it’s not flu.
I can’t put it any clearer than that.
I can explain it to you (repeatedly), but I can’t understand it for you...

How difficult is it for you to find out yourself? Would've taken longer to create your post.

Re: Coronavirus
Offering them is one thing, people actually using them twice a week, thats something else entirely.
I doubt how many will, and even those that do at the start probably wont keep it up for long - those things are a pain, and I think people will soon get fed up.
TBH, now the majority are vaccinated, I do really see the point, it seems a little late in the day.

I didn’t keep saying it’s the flu. I said it a year ago, that you quoted at back at me a year later for some reason?
I’m still holding out for a point over this.

When I said it, over a year ago, it was an unknown coronavirus, that caused respiratory issues and flu like symptoms.
So I was wrong a year ago, so what?

You say that but a quick search shows you compare it to the flu and use the flu in your arguments on this subject a lot more recently than a year ago

Only in the last few pages after Hugh quoted me from over a year ago.
What’s wrong in comparing it to the flu?

There are posts in December, January and February.
It is ok I get your stance on it and have seen plenty with the same view. I wholeheartedly disagree with you but I do not have anything to say that has not been said 100 times before
