It could be that testing in France is better targeted. I use www.worldometers.info/coronavirus which is updated in real time and may be the data source for JHU. It could be interesting to see what crumbs Johnson hands out this evening; he needs something headlining to take the heat off the whole Cumming affair and his (mis?) handling of it. An announcement about "air bridges" ahead of the quarantine arrangements coming into force, thus providing "Brits can go to the Costas" types of headline in the red top press might facilitate that quite nicely. Fingers crossed, not so much for "the Brits" but for those working in travel and tourism. |
France and the UK have similar numbers in ICU, about 1,500. France has only tested 1.8 million against the UK 3.9 million. Both countries are some way behind Spain, Italy & Germany in ICU patients, all less than 900. With regard to 'air bridges' it seems the UK is in active talks with Portugal, as Greece doesn't want us just yet!!

if a green low risk country 2-3 pax are tested out of 150 say and amber half the pax up to red all the pax. Not seen much expansion on that though! Cyprus now says they still expect their three key markets who are currently not on the list in U.K, Russia and Sweden to be allowed by July too. |
Sadly nothing on the air bridges today, so it looks as though the ludicrous (because it is shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted) 14 day quarantine is going to happen in June across the piece.

Seems to be a few rumours that certainly some bridges will be up fairly quickly. |
From the BBC this morning - still some twists and turns ahead

Croatia has opened its borders to visitors from eastern Europe including Germany, but you must show a negative Covid19 test. Obviously Italy France Spain Portugal and the UK are not included.

So what I want to know before arranging any new overseas travel is:
- When can I insure myself against travel disruption relating to C-19? Purchasing this as an optional extra (like cruise cover, winter sports cover, etc.) would be fine, but travelling completely uninsured against C-19 risk is not. - When can I be sure that either my destination country or the UK itself won't order me into quarantine for 14 days by default, even if in perfect health? - When will the FCO rescind advice against all but essential travel to other countries? - When can I be sure that my destination will offer a welcoming experience? Will there be any visitor attractions / restaurants / bars / pools / activities open? Excursions operating, anything to do? - Will the locals at destination resent me as a pariah / leper importing the plague from a 'high-risk' country to kill off their grannies? - Will I be required to dress up as an astronaut every time I venture out from my resort accommodation? - Will I be obligated to sit so far apart from everyone that it will be impossible to meet new friends or hold a conversation without shouting? (Though everyone generally moves a safe distance away from me anyway!) - Will I be denied boarding at the departure gate and despatched into lockdown if one of those handheld temperature measurement devices detects an element of perspiration on my forehead whilst negotiating a hot and sweaty airport environment with luggage? - Given all these newly-introduced measures, how much extra time will I need to allow for interlining at an enroute hub airport? I'm quite at ease with the flight element of the trip. But all the above remain concerns until proven otherwise. |

Hopefully that quickly stems it before it grows further (think it’s down again today) and it’s controlled. The world will be watching with interest. |
BFS cutting workforce
A quarter of jobs at Belfast International Airport set to be cut - The Irish News |
Even Denmark is opening only to Norway, and to a limited extent Germany and Iceland. And stay in rural areas. So no Med holidays.
Our infection rate is not falling nearly as quickly as predicted. It will need to fall another 90% before any sensible country should welcome us. |
The biggest opportunity for the Airlines is that the Spanish Prime Minister confirmed that Spain will be open 01/07/2020 including the Brits, also Cyprus says open to Brits they will even refund your holiday if you get covid whilst there, so for bucket spade flights two out of 4 will be open for Brits come 01/07/20, I've been watching Easyjet/Ryanair prices over last few days for PMI/AGP and prices are going up although still plenty cheap flights for July/August
|
I said it needed to fall 90% before any sensible country would welcome us. I think what Spain etc are doing is very risky. And clearly Denmark agrees.

Well BoJo is now looking at scrapping the quarantine back into the U.K.
Im struggling to think of a more chaotic government in living memory. |
Dannyboy39. I'm struggling to find any news report that says BoJo is looking at scrapping quarantine. I know many within the travel and hospitality industry together with some MPs are saying it must be scrapped. I have heard it may be scrapped after 3 weeks at the end of June. Pease provide a link to support your statement, thanks.

Just found this on the Daily Mirror. 'Last night, there were some hints from senior Government sources that Prime Minister Boris Johnson may get rid of the plans completely'.
