Vaccinations now mandatory in Greece for the over 60s. €100 per month fine until vaccinated.

Just thinking about the media jizzing over the new variant.
Wouldn’t it be good if they reported how many, if any, of those who’ve contracted it were vaccinated and, more importantly, how they are.

They're waiting until they've got enough data to be sure. There's a danger in jumping the gun, particularly if it gives people a false sense of security.

Don’t seem to mind scaring the shit out of people with the same lack of data, though.

Bit of advice really. Due to the change of rules for travelling, we need to get the mother and father in-law tested before they fly back to the Republic of Ireland next Sunday. I believe they both require a negative PCR test before they can travel. I've done a bit of research and there are PCR centres fairly local in Coventry and Northampton but also believe Boots have a facility to do tests as well. Prices seem to be £100+
Anyone needed to do anything recently for travelling that might be able to share wisdom?

When I travelled to and from the states in august I had to shop around to get a good deal, and paid a lot less than a hundred knicker. https://www.247hometesting.com/Does this help?

No problem! I wouldn't stop there though, I'd be surprised if you can't find it even cheaper

We just used these guys (Swindon, but other "branches" (huts) available). https://www.projectscreen.co.uk/covid-test-locations/swindon/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoZKb0OfE9AIVFODICh2ivQgjEAAYAiAAEgLR5vD_BwEYou pop to the mini hut, do the test, then they take to the lab. Results within 24 hours of lab receipt. I assume they still use a courier to get the sample there - they used to. We did that at the time because the post service was hit by Covid and we were paranoid it would get delayed

Thanks Batch - looks like the pods are not that local for us unfortunately. Nearest looks like Leicester or Cambridge which is a bit of a trip. Thanks for sharing though.

Officially told today our annual works party has been cancelled. The company went along with the corporate line that they ‘are protecting us from unnecessary socialising’. Which is odd seeing as we work in a building where you can’t help avoiding other people in close contact. Seems to have backfired a bit for the company an an unofficial night out around Old Town by some of the workers. Surely companies know this will happen so would be better off sticking with the Xmas do in a hotel function room where they have some level of control as opposed to their staff mingling with the masses of Swindon. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just a convienient to save money!
