throbber Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Amstel is absolutely rank, it’s also not very popular as there’s always lots of it left over in Asda. Stella also appears to be a rather unpopular beer in Scotland judging by what remains on the shelves during a pandemic. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Really? All pubs and restaurants are shut for an indefinite period, travel from your home is restricted, you can be arrested for having visitors to your home, trial by jury is suspended, funerals are limited to 6 people and the government is paying the private sector's wage bill. Yet the idea that you might not get a holiday next year is absurd!'For years' does suggest just next year. All of the measures you mentioned are short term suppression measures, designed to last weeks or a few months so don't suggest anything about going abroad being off the cards for years. I would be astonished if you couldn't go abroad next April holidays. I'd be surprised if you couldn't go abroad in late Autumn/early winter this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 There is no evidence that these are short term measures, the CMO said potentially 6 months. Hopefully some restrictions are lifted in May/June but others will obviously last longer. If it only takes a few hundred cases to tip us into lockdown and economic chaos it's unlikely governments are going to be in a hurry to start letting people go on holiday again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to need to double down on this over reaction for a long time to come in order to justify the damage they have done and the panic they have spread. Truth and reality will eventually emerge. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thistle_do_nicely Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I think a lot hinges on what happens across all the major airlines over the rest of the year for tourism over the short to long term, and the impact it has on air fares. If anything the fact a lot of folk have missed out on holidays this year will generally increase the desire to go abroad - when its practical to do so. Might be a slight hit to travel to Asia on purely psychological grounds, but thats just my hot take. 5 minutes ago, Detournement said: There is no evidence that these are short term measures, the CMO said potentially 6 months.

I'm not so sure of that. Anywhere heavily reliant on tourism - i think Greece generally doesnt export much so them for starters - will want to get people flocking back as soon as possible. Once we're at a point restaraunts etc are back open i reckon we'll see flights pick up again too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think the opposite actually as the number one motivation for our Gov and many others is the Economy. Tourism is absolutely essential to our own Economy and countries such as Portugal and Spain in particular, if we can start to see some sort of drop off in the infection rates and life gradually returning to normal (such as Italy is doing right now), then I see no reason why we can't be in Vilamoura come the winter for a nice golfing holiday coupled with some complete and utter debauchery in Cats at night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there will be much less travel, but once we have better data we will probably see there's not much risk for under 50s. Older people will probably take a break close to home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something will be worked out so we are checked out at the doctors and we get a pass/visa to say e are virus free or something like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
