I agree JohnGeorge with most of what you say. I'm not being negative but pointing out that although the vaccine roll out is a massive success in the UK. The figures are still high. I am from Manchester area too but lived in Spain for 2 years now, having owned a property for 16 years.

The roll out here in the EU and mainly Spain, because again this forum relates to Spain, is totally shambolic, but the figures are still lower than the UK. People are asking when they will be able to travel from the UK to Spain etc, but Spain has lower infection rates than the UK. Maybe the answe...

...r should be when UK figures are less than the country they wish to travel to, then they will be open to go. Spain is crying out for holidaymakers to boost the economy so are certainly looking to sort this mess as soon as possible. The problem is there are too many Autonomous regions here, all doing there own thing.

France is currently on lockdown in areas, but we have loads of French holidaymakers here now. We can't travel out of the Valencian Community into Murcia (for example) yet French and German holidaymakers can come here.

A UK strain - it was discovered in the UK thanks to the genome sequencing capability that exists in the UK (something else that they got right). The strain could have come from anywhere, a bit like the flu epidemic in the last decade originated in the US but was called Spanish Flu. 

   It's not about comparing the UK to Spain, look at the infection rates in France and Italy, Germany looking at further lockdowns,  there you will see the impact of the slow vaccination rate. Getting ALL countries vaccinated is the way forward, the quicker the better. Rubbishing t...

Just seen on the UK news...The strain currently spreading across Europe is 'our home grown Kent variant'. I think this means not a Genome discovered in UK, but in fact a UK strain as I pointed out earlier.

  Well after all the hot air of the past few weeks about the Astrazeneca vaccine safety what is the situation today?  AZ still approved by the UK and EU medical regulatory authorities as safe and effective, now accepted by the all major EU countries as safe and effective, completed succ...

...essful trials in the US that concluded the vaccine was both safe and effective. 

   The UK have completed around another 3 million AZ vaccines during the past 2 weeks whilst the EU bureaucracy have flip-flopped from banning AZ being used to banning it being exported. Meanwhile the covid inoculation program across the EU  continues at a snails pace, regardless of which vaccine is being given  Let's hope for the sake of summer travel that they get there act together sometime soon.

Well after all the hot air and slamming of the EU for the blood clot tests. Just seen on UK news that UK regulators are now investigating the blood clot situation after the AZ vaccination. I seem to think this was brought to light by EU regulators, so obviously not political as claimed.
