Covid-19 and vaccinations is certainly causing a stir here that's for sure.
Can't see how it will work with people coming and going when borders open up and lots of people not having the jab ?
Borders won’t open up for a very very long time.

I can never understand, why do the bans after wait until the next weekend..
I should be immediate, from midnight on the day its announced!

Completely agree.
If they are in the air they are quarantined at the expense of the government, rather than having to pay. Those not in the air have the choice, if they travel, they pay for the quarantine.
You can guarantee you won't be able to get a seat now on a plane coming over from India.

MPs and their mates on 'business' trips

Unlikely, at a guess. I'd hazard a guess at quite empty planes with people visiting family for significant events (imminent death, funeral type stuff) and on business trips. I'd be staggered if many MPs are shuttling around the world on business just now. That said, I'm sure a newspaper could find some scandalous junket or two to infuriate us with.

Totally agree but speaking with neighbors and also Ms French's family they don't trust the powers that be.
This stems back many years going back to HIV and blood transfusions and many people losing their lives.
It doesn't help that one minute the vaccine is safe and the next risky.
We need to be able to travel as we have family members around the World so we took the vaccine as that's the only way forward.
I really don't know how it will unfold at all.
Someone sent me this summary shared last week by Dr John Campbell on Youtube.
(check it out)
"Based on latest reports, the instances of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis ( CVT) with either Pfizer or Moderna vaccines is running at 4.1 per million people... vs AZ at 5.0 per million people... vs after catching Covid 39 per million people.
The stats for Portal Venous thrombosis
(PVT) is even more astounding. With AZ the evidence suggests 1.6 per million... vs Pfizer and Moderna at 44 per million... vs after catching Covid, 436 per million.
So in conclusion, why is the AZ vaccine getting such bad press? Why has Denmark banned its use now? Why has the US still not approved the AZ vaccine? Why do EU member states still apply different rules for the use of the AZ vaccine?"
Politics...politics..politics...

Maybe it's something to do with AZ selling their vaccine at cost price, whereas the others aren't? Maybe Pfizer and Moderna stand to lose millions if AZ have the upper hand with supplies. Where did I leave my tin-foil hat?

When I came out to Denmark from Manchester the plane was maybe a 1/5th full. Same for most flights that I could see at the gates.
However the flight to Karachi was like a normal holiday flight. Took them ages to check in..
