Travelling Abroad Unnecessarily

[Carmen2017]

If you knew of someone who was planning to go abroad for a holiday but had fake business letters to show if challenged at the airport would you report them?

No....not unless I really really hated them

Yes if I was certain that it was just a holiday and not a working holiday

No.

Everyone is sick of lockdown, and if some people want to go abroad, while following safety measures, such as, getting a negative covid test beforehand, then i have NO issue with this,

I am moving abroad for a few months on Wednesday also, part holiday part work, im getting a test beforehand, and when i arrive, and wearing mask at all times

being abroad is safer than ireland right now since abroad, everyone follows the guidelines properly.

No but I'd hope someone challenges them and proves them to be lying

No I wouldn't, but I would judge them.

The virus doesn't know who is travelling for business or a holiday.

Wtf even is a fake business letter?

Nope. I just can't get agitated about what other people do, I can't control them, why bother trying? TBH if the controls aren't rigorous enough to stop it, I see that as a govt issue.

If they were going to visit an elderly relative who could not travel even post pandemic I might have a bit of sympathy, but otherwise I would have no hesitation in reporting them. If only out of consideration for the space in the plane, boat or Eurostar train for anyone legitimately travelling to reduce the risk of Covid 19 for them.

No i would try and get a life instead.

No I wouldn’t. But then there’s not much I’d go out of my way to report some one else for.

Some people love to report others. Do what makes you happy OP.

No

There are enough people mixing with flipping "bubbles' right left and centre, I would most certainly not begrudge any of a holiday!

Most of the kids sent in "isolation" from schools are out and about, no one cares either.

You mean because you're really jealous and want to make an example of them? The beatings must continue until morale improves? Good idea.

No but purely out of interest who would you report them too?

No, it's the coming back that's the issue.

In fact if everyone in the country went abroad we wouldn't have Covid here.

Have you posted this on the coronavirus board? I suspect you would get a very different response to those you are getting here.

Yes I would. There must be no mercy.

Yes, if I knew who to report them to.

Maybe, but let’s hope they have to quarantine on their return,

No because I don't have any faith that the government is going to implement the recent announcement re closing borders. I suspect the reasons will be some vague waffle that are easy to get around. Unless we do a New Zealand the whole thing is pointless and don't get me started on Britons returning home that can't afford to self isolate. If you can afford to go abroad during a pandemic you can afford to isolate when you come back or please just don't come back until the all clear is announced.

If you would report someone going on holiday, are you also reporting your relatives and neighbours breaking the rules?

Or is it just the idea of someone else having a holiday that is gratting?

Take it to the Coronavirus board, eh? Misery loves company, you'll fit right in. And the whole site really doesn't need this constant 'report thy neighbour' negativity regurgitating on a loop every single day. It's way beyond tedious.
