I've tried to ignore the news but it's all over the media now and they are saying what I am fearing, ie
massive new and bigger wave of a new variant and back to square one

This, every government are careless and always act the horse has bolted.

At least if we banned flights direct/indirect people that have been in/to China, if anyhting new comes it could be better managed IMO

Would you agree with me?

Yes yes to the ban on coffee revels.

It's been bad in China for weeks now. Stop watching the news stop reading about it. Sooner everyone understands its here to stay the better, our life's are for living not hiding under a rock hoping the bad stuff disappears.

Are you from the past?!

Piscesmumma1978 · 23/12/2022 12:38

No. They're testing everyone, we're not. They're jabs aren't as good as ours hence people are getting sicker.

whynotwhatknot · 23/12/2022 12:40

not really-they dont have the same level of protection from their vaccines and are just not really helping themselves

people should get the vaccine theyre offered here they probably need to ramp up the message a bit but another lockdown-no

whoamI00 · 23/12/2022 12:40

No it's discrimitory and won't work and also it's simply impossible.

Wonnle · 23/12/2022 12:41

Media hype lies i'd say
China suppresses news stories and has had a very severe reaction to the Covid outbreak
The average Chinese thinks it's a very dangerous virus , which it is to a very small amount of people

Have I just woke up in march 2020?

MichelleScarn · 23/12/2022 12:42

I really do think the focus should be shifted to deal with the more important task of banning coffee revels! Does ANYONE like them?!

SoupDragon · 23/12/2022 12:42

It's on the DM so, TBH, I would disagree on principle.

extra screening might be wise but I think removing all screening etc was perhaps not the best move anyway.

I'm so happy that finally something constructive has come out of a scaremongering thread. All these years I thought it was just me who hated coffee revels, and now I see there's actually a movement.

coffeeisthebest · 23/12/2022 12:43

You are suggesting we all retreat behind our doors again and listen to messages of fear on repeat from our own government? No, I'm good thanks. I have been vaccinated, but I will not listen to regurgitated rubbish via our government from a country who rules by fear and dictation. F that.

And this would make the virus just disappear would it ?

It's a virus constantly mutating like ALL viruses do

We could set up a mn wide choc-swap-shop... what you offering in exchange @Wonnle?....

notimagain · 23/12/2022 12:49

they stopped direct flights to the UK last time my husband was in China. All it meant was he had to go a none direct route to get home,

Absolutely correct...

If the UK ban inbound direct/non-stop flights from Chinese destinations all that then happens is that passengers from those places will choose to travel non direct to get into the UK via e.g. the Gulf, Japan, Korea, Europe etc etc.....

Anyone up for quarantining @Wonnle on their island with their own supply of revels?

whynotwhatknot · 23/12/2022 12:51

i love coffee creams pass them over

MrsMurphyIWish · 23/12/2022 12:52

And @SirMingeALot … less coffee evils in the world, the more toffee goodness for me!

CruCru · 23/12/2022 12:55

I love coffee creams. I don’t think I’ve ever had coffee Revels (probably because no one else likes them) but I’d probably like them

My favourite are the orange, so I think we have the beginnings of a workable social order here.

AnyFucker · 23/12/2022 12:57

Send me the coffee revels

MrsMurphyIWish · 23/12/2022 12:58

Also, I have Covid at the moment so I’m perhaps feeling rebellious as I can’t be infected whilst infected … I do not want coffee-esque “treats” given to me though. That would be the final straw.
