Seeing how quickly people go from relatively mild flu like symptoms to full on bed ridden or worse, how can people contemplate going on holiday? Picture the scene, you’re having a great time going clubbing, on the sauce and then you feel unwell on day 3. Then by day 5 it’s not possible to get out of your hotel bed. How could an island like Ibiza possibly take that risk of dozens of sick holidaymakers? Also if that happened would that mean the entire hotel would be locked down, as happened in Tenerife?

Sorry for the downer, but the more I think about it, the more improbable it seems that any tourism can happen anytime soon.

I can’t see clubs being allowed to open. At best, we would be looking at going to Ibiza for a relaxing holiday. Bars and restaurants will be open and that’s about it. I’d rather they cancel, but if the hotels are open and flights are operating, then it’s a case of going or losing your money if you’re already booked.

I can't understand the logic in banning Brits just because of a 'late lock down' - what impact does that have on tourists in July/August/September?

Big impact, don't think ibiza with there low cases and (should be controlled quicker than other countries) wants brits rocking up (when we will probably be still have corona cases) to go the island making the infections rise and being out of control
 
A drug that works will be a progress.
A vaccine is more far in the future.

As long they have nothing , you will not get
a insurance. Far to risky for the companies.

At the moment , tourism makes no sense.
 
it's very easy to get negative with all the headlines right now. each day seems like a week or longer. it is only mid-april. no one knows.

we will all get through this. in my experience, situations rarely turn into extremes. this means we probably won't get much summer this year, inspite of hoping otherwise, but it also means we most probably won't be locked down for 18 months either. we'll find ourselves somewhere in the middle.

Why Britain though? Not France? Or Italy ?

The article only mentioned UK but surely they will also do the other countries, they have to, same situation...

Italy was the worst in Europe at one point

As people have said no tourism at very best till end of year and defo not for summer for anyone wanting to travel abroad
 
just watching news. in spain, they are doing lots of tests to random people to check for antibodies. and it seems that in some of the autonomías (our regions), up to 70% of test results came back POSITIVE. this means thousands of people have had the virus without noticing symptoms.

good news this

I was only thinking about that the other day.. if you are single now are you single for life.. ? one of the many things that went through my head when I was tripping balls the other day..

HHahahaj I would of been single for life if this happened or not, however due to the unprecedented situation with the virus I defo will be single for life haha
 
I can't wait to get back to ibiza but it's unlikely to be this year unfortunately. There's just too many variables. If it does happen it will be last minute trip.

If things do start to get back to normal towards the end of summer il just be spending my £ locally and staying within Eire.

If its proper lab tests (which are reliable) then this could bode well. 60%+ is needed for some kind of herd immunity.

On another note, my car charger arrived. Gotta love amazon. Let's hope I don't set my car on fire ?

Good news.
However in the Netherlands they did a check with blood donors...turns out only 3% of these group came out positive.
Not sure how we should compare these results.
