Ingram85 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 There was a neighbourhood at the start of this year in Tokyo that went into full lockdown because they had 4 cases. They don’t mess about with it. They are in the position they are in not because of carelessness amongst the populace but because they have been slow to start the vaccine rollout but it’s huge now. Gone from 0-100mph in a matter of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there is trouble proving who has had the vaccine abroad. Do you have an equivalent of the NHS app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't wipe my arse with in, not worth the paper it's written on Yet we fully expect the foreign curs to accept our vastly superior certificates and allow our glorious patriotic tourists to freely rampage across their towns and cities without exception. Why? Because we're British of course 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted July 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) There **** better be. I won't quarantine because I got vaccinated in another country, it's simply not happening. The EU needs to say that the NHS vaccine won't be accepted in that case. Edited July 8, 2021 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markavfc40 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) My daughter has been told to stay off school now until start of next term in September as they have told the whole year group (year 10) to isolate due to the amount of covid cases. I am really worried about the amount of school she has missed this last 17 months with her exams being next year. I'd hope they will make some changes to the exams as there is no way her year group can catch up in such a short space of time.

cyrusr Posted July 8, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8, 2021 Jab number 2 done today. Just hoping that the all of these vaccinations actually start impacting on the spread of the virus; whilst the hospital/death numbers are still relatively low, they are still rising. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
