People don't pay to be vaccinated or to be tested if they think they've got COVID, so why should it be any different if the government wants this before information before you leave, or when they arrive in country? How on earth do they think that passengers paying nearly 4 times more for testing than they're probably paying for their flight is acceptable? Why was none of this deemed necessary for much of the past year as passengers freely came and went from the UK, yet suddenly is now apparently required? No, most/all of this is absolute BS, and it's obviously intended to prevent foreign travel whilst providing the illusion that borders have been re-opened. The reality though, is this isn't just about tourism, but is badly affecting necessary business and essential travel. 16 Share this post Link to post

The Third Man 1,934 Posted April 9, 2021 i can see all the stuff about being tested before & after holidays, even though i have had both vaccines says one of two things The vaccines don't work, or someone is making a lot of money out of testing people, and the government want that to continue Or i suppose it could be both, which could be a third option 4 Share this post Link to post

She works at the local Testing Centre. Personally I've never understood the significance of testing as it only concludes that you were either positive or negative at that specific moment. What's to stop you from catching the virus after coming into contact with someone after being tested thus negating the test result?

Its the same with the 50% accurate Lateral Flow Test that we are now spending billions on, and if you do get a positive test, the only that knows is you You can even report it yourself, and tell them if it is positive or negative anyone want to lose money by reporting a positive test? 4 Share this post Link to post

Under lockdown rules people must take two tests when they return from abroad. They are directed to a list of providers on the Department of Health's website. But several of the firms on the list are the subject of furious complaints from customers. Craig Dodd returned from France eight days ago but still hasn't received either of the two tests he paid £182 for.” BBC Share this post Link to post
iris123 15,358 Posted April 10, 2021 We had a scam here where the test Centre was found out by one woman who got her result relatively quick. This was in Lübeck. And she was puzzled at how quick the result came back. So she phoned the lab in Berlin and was told not only had they never received her test, but they hadn’t received any tests from Lübeck !!! 2 Share this post Link to post
