..is a needless a*** at the moment.
Chile is deemed a Red country for travel to the UK. Case rate is not the most valid indicator at this moment, but for comparison sakes the UK is 34 and falling cases per 100k pop with 59% vaccinated and Chile is 3 and falling cases per 100k pop and 67% vaccinated.
So wtf is it Red? Amber I could understand, but Red??
What are the metrics? Decided by whom and on what basis?
Seems to me that politics and economics are playing a bigger role than they should.
Also, we would have to spend 10 days in a Government registered hotel which for two of us will be £2,500. That's a f.lot of money. Ok I can afford it, though I don't want to, but for many people that is an impossible target.
And wtf are they using the 5 Star IC O2 hotel in Docklands? (£250 per night normally) instead of, say, the Holiday Inn at Langley (much closer and £65 per night normally). It's not like you are permitted to use the facilities or even leave your room without an escort. Again, rather more related to punter subsidised hotel aid than anything else, I should think.
