You should have stayed there for a bit longer. From Sunday morning the Canary Islands will be considered safe and quarantine will no longer be required.
Makes your situation seem a bit daft.

The whole situation seems daft and poorly thought out, full stop. The governments are just pulling rules out of their arses.Makes your situation seem a bit daft.

The use of police resource to go door to door checking on people is an absolute disgrace too and a complete waste of resource. Last year, we were told the government didn’t have two pennies to rub together and police on the street were lean due to cuts, yet this year they’re flush enough to send them knocking. Just making it up as they go along.
Government advice is still essential travel only I believe? However because people don’t have to quarantine everyone’s booking to go now and flights are increasing in price.

By definition of the word (Comes from Ancient Greek, meaning "All People"), we're definitely in a pandemic!!
So far, judging by W.H.O. figures of people who are registered as having died with Covid-19, were a total of 0.0139% of the world's population.
Mostly people with deficient immune systems, such as the very old, people with cancer, etc.
The news says so - so must be right! We must all wear masks and be afraid. Be very afraid!
0.0139% globally is not a Covid pandemic. It's a pandemic of public stupidity.

Just wear the bloody mask for f
k sake
Not a single COVID death in a Somerset hospital since June. Not one, and just seven in care homes.k sake Once you have laws which make absolutely no sense then people start to lose confidence in the rule of law itself. There is no reason whatsoever for everyone in the county to wear a muzzle every time they go into a shop, none. Advise those who are vulnerable to do so, but that's surely all that is required .

People tend to think in terms of their own lives and context. That's perfectly normal and quite hard to avoid sadly.Once you have laws which make absolutely no sense then people start to lose confidence in the rule of law itself.

So no deaths in Somerset, so people in Somerset shouldn't have to take any precautions. So the law should be different for Somerset (and similar places) right? But then the law would be ludicrously complicated and different every few miles, and people would ridicule the Government for having laws that make no sense.
But if they make them very simple, they're stuck making them to the lowest common denominator, meaning the rules are inappropriate for many people and they get ridiculed.
If they change the rules to keep up, they're seen as weak and knee-jerk, if they don't change them to keep them consistent, they're seen as ignorant to the facts and dim-witted.
The rules will seem stupid to many people because to that one person's life, they don't make sense. We seem to accept a fairly blanket speed limit without the suggestion each person should have their own or different limits based on accident rates in an area, why is that so OK?

You can call it that if you like, i will take my risks based on my life, thank you.
Your acceptance of your risk could impact on someone else's life. Is that fair?
Young lad at work decided he would visit his friends at Uni in Newcastle (just after their measures were announced several weeks ago).
Several days later he is feeling a bit under the weather, several days later again he decides to admit that he is showing CV19 symptoms.
Was his assessment of his risk fair to the rest of us?

Ignoring stupid government advice that really doesn’t affect others is sensible.
Ignoring symptoms and carrying on is just stupid.

Actually, yes. Lots of things we do couple impact someone elses life, like driving quickly/dangerously. These people, imo, are likely to get COVID19 eventually anyway, so they might as well get it now. The vulnerable and elderly should be protected. Is that fair?

They have a three tier system, there already different laws for different places. An additional first tier with very minor restrictions and no requirement for muzzles is not much to expect.So no deaths in Somerset, so people in Somerset shouldn't have to take any precautions.

The country is divided into counties, so there borders are already there.
Are you seriously suggesting that in a county with the stats I posted, seven people shouldn't be able to sit together in a pub?
