Bairnardo Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I spoke to a skip company today. He asked me what I was going to be disposing of, as he can only take some stuff with the council tips being shut. He then said to phone him back next week as he expects them to be opening back up [emoji848] -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd need to catch the virus in this country anyway for it to have any impact while abroad (given I only go on breaks under 7 days generally). What if your holiday is cancelled due to another outbreak/lockdown? You won't get your money back. It's not just insurance incase you personally fall ill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Like Yellow fever etc I would think Covid 19 certification may become a border entry condition in many countries. That requires testing and vaccination. Yes, we've already had this and I already said that I'm more than willing to take the risk.

In our own work it was pretty much panic stations a couple of weeks ago and they were running around trying to source laptops for everyone to work from home and there was meeting after meeting and high level conference calls, however this week it's been much more relaxed and with the exception of he social distancing rules it's a much calmer place with no sign of any panic or indeed pressing need to issue everyone with mobile equipment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Hotels are all booked on a pay on arrival basis and my flights if cancelled will be refunded by the airline, if not I'll have a SECTION 75 claim actioned on my CC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Surprising that with EVERYTHING being cancelled for the foreseeable, TRNSMT, Green Day, Guns n Roses and Gerry Cinnamon are all still scheduled for going ahead in Glasgow late June/July 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That requires testing and vaccination. The bottom line is that countries such as Portugal, Spain, Greece, Malta & Cyprus all rely heavily on tourism, they will do everything they can to have their countries reopen for business as soon as is deemed safe to do so and they'll also ensure that there's a seamless yet safe method of entry and exit at their ports and borders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Just now, Rugster said: Sounds like a waste of time you bothering with insurance then, you seem to have all the answers! It's more for piece of mind regarding needing hospital treatment / doctor while abroad. Obviously my E111 / EU Health Insurance card covers up to a fashion, but for the sake of £25 a year it's money that isn't missed. I'm not trying to sound like a smug dick by the way, I'm merely saying what's True and as I work in Banking the chargeback or section 75 claim is also easily dealt with by one of my colleagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to me like that they have managed to do an effective quarantine by putting all their vulnerable staff on 12 week paid leave. And it suggests that regular social contact isn't an issue for the vast majority of the population. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunfermline Don Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 A friend of my wife had been boasting all over FB about the long walks and cycles they have been doing. Sometimes for around 2-3 hours. They have now been at A&E with a fractured ankle due to over exercising! What do some people not understand about the current advice! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a list through the door the other day with about 10 names on it (no Tesco/Asda/Sainsburys, all small independent shops), about 60% of them - maybe more - will do home deliveries. We're already getting home deliveries (same day service if ordered in the morning) but this gives us more options. Surely in a big place like Inverness there are any amount of independent shops available who would do home deliveries? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
