      oh dear…

    • Yes, great, thank you – that will be a big help…

    • I think most of us would prefer to travel in relative safety knowing that other passengers have tested negative.
      Makes you wonder if rapid testing could be used to open tavernas. I know nobody wants to have to test all the time, but I’d be willing to do it if it meant I could sit down to a nice meal with my family and have a normal evening.

      • Really? So you are happy to live in some form of a 1984 society.? Read past the fear mongering media and be afraid of where they are leading us. Not to freedom.

  2. So my comment was unacceptable. I thought it was most polite. So where is it?
