BA FLIGHTS TO GREEN LIST COUNTRIES 'VERY BUSY'
Thousands of British holidaymakers have begun taking advantage of the easing of lockdown rules on overseas travel.

Travellers from England, Scotland and Wales are jetting off to some countries in what the crisis-hit tourism industry hopes is the start of a recovery.

Travellers can now visit 12 countries on the government's green list, including Portugal and Israel, without isolating on their return.

The bosses of British Airways and Ryanair said confidence was returning.

The vast majority of tourist destinations remain on the amber and red lists, meaning travellers must quarantine when they get back.

Bookings also remain well down on pre-pandemic levels.

'Small step'
However, BA chief executive Sean Doyle told the BBC that the airline's six flights due to depart from Heathrow on Monday to "green" destinations such as Lisbon, Faro and Madeira were "very busy".

@gooner. Sinofarm efficacy. A large multi-country Phase 3 trial has shown that 2 doses, administered at an interval of 21 days, have an efficacy of 79% against symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection 14 or more days after the second dose. Vaccine efficacy against hospitalization was 79%

Higher than shxxy Astra I’m afraid in reality.

None of that matters really, wheezing fat Boris and his cabinet of thin talents treat the poor great unwashed brits with contempt, never up front with them, drip feeding rules and regs. Anywhere else there would have been riots with such mad lockdowns and removal of civil liberties. There isnt going to be a holiday season, long haul is shot to pieces, these airlines are half the size they were, up to the eyeballs in debt, cant pay dividends because of government loans. How easyjet is at 9 quid is a mystery, it will need more capital raising (dilution) and plane sale and leaseback, IAG as flag carrier has some protection but wheres the buy case?? I’m guessing if you own these over 4 quid its painful losing half your dosh but that may be preferable to losing all of it.

Sharp drop in cases across US & Europe: even India is seeing a fall now. US will be fully reopen very soon now given their cases are down 95% from the peak and 60% adults vaccinated.

Vaccines do work against Indian variant - Oxford study
A landmark Oxford University study has confirmed current coronavirus vaccines work well against the Indian variant, raising hopes Britain can avoid a new wave of deaths.

Early findings from the urgent laboratory study into the B.1.617.2 strain show there is only a small loss of protection from the vaccines’ effect.

AstraZeneca and Pfizer doses still create enough antibodies to neutralise the highly contagious Indian strain and significantly diminish the risk of hospitalisation and death.

Cases overall are still very low around 2,000; deaths in single figures.
Hype again from Boris and the media; guilty of scaremongering again. Lack of perspective.

And how's this for progress:

15th March
The biggest vaccination campaign in history is underway. More than 413 million doses have been administered across 132 countries, according to data collected by Bloomberg. The latest rate was roughly 9.94 million doses a day.

Today
The biggest vaccination campaign in history is underway. More than 1.41 billion doses have been administered across 176 countries, according to data collected by Bloomberg. The latest rate was roughly 22.7 million doses a day.

Porsche,

Re your: Seychelles most vaccinated country in the world, but case rates are going up.

Well, yes, but with the acknowledged low-efficacy Chinese Sinopharm jab.

If the Seychelles had used Oxford AZ, Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna then it would have been a completely different story. As it will be in Europe and North America where we use these high-efficacy vaccines.

[watfordhornet] 14/5/2021 22:28

What benefit do the govnt get for doing that? Surely they lose more than anyone else.

[m1k3y1] 14/5/2021 21:29

I don't disagree

[activeservo] 14/5/2021 17:38

Not unless the 0.002% of those with Indian variant gets you! Pre-lockdown relaxation scaremongering still peddled by bojo.

[albert3591] 14/5/2021 15:49

Is boris going to put the mockers on travel again today?

[activeservo] 14/5/2021 07:27

For two weeks…ThatR17;s the short’s time frame and why they don’t make money. You need to buy in at the bottom and wait, then you can’t lose.

[porsche1945] 14/5/2021 00:31

Indian strain now getting going, investors who think its going to be open skies any time soon are dreaming, I think the UK will be back in lockdown in the autumn, the reduction in cases has been becos of lockdowns going on forever in U.K. not vaccines imo. Seychelles most vaccinated country in the world, 60 pc of adult population two doses yet cases have been doubling there every week since the end of Feb, this is ongoing for a decade but people just haven’t sussed it yet. I’d dump these and buy growth/tech denominated in US dollars as sterling will be total loo paper by the end of the year. Dire.

My uncle in Singapore there is been an upturn in Covid cases.Very surprising as there are strict rules in place Changi T2 also closed until November 2021 now, reducing capacityLeisure travel will not return for a few years yet.If we can prove that there is no need for yearly boosters, then we can say we start to see things getting betterPfizer are pushing, but have no evidence to support boosters Found this in local newsThe Ministry of Health reported 24 new community cases on Thursday, the highest daily number of such cases since July 11 last year.Of these, 17 were linked to the cluster at Changi Airport, which now has 42 cases.

UK Gov creating it's own inflation bubble by limiting supply when there is huge demand for goods and services.
