Fires still going in Rhodes and Turkey

Yes the fire's are still going , air quality is really poor smoke everywhere and tomorrow I'm going to the lion's den ika the Greeks version of the DWP 🤣 no one likes the place and is always packed with people so putting myself at risk big time but I need to get my health insurance covered so I haven't got all the costs so keeping everything crossed that not too many people are there .

I’ve been seeing it on the News. Scary stuff. Hope you get your health insurance sorted out. Take care xx

[Hidden in reply to sassy59]

They better get it sorted they've had my S1 certificate for nine months . If the Greeks say next week add a month to it 🤣🤣🤣

[CDPO16]

Sorry to hear that the fire is still going Dave. The air quality will be awful for everyone but especially you and others with lung problems. I hope that it all eases soon.Good luck for tomorrow xx

[Hidden in reply to CDPO16]

Just been talking my Dutch friend he was saying seven people from our village have been shipped to Crete on ventilators all lungies two dutch and the rest Greek , all down to the smoke.

[CDPO16 in reply to Hidden]

That's awful Dave. I hope that they will be ok and that you and your dad will be ok too.

[Hidden in reply to CDPO16]

Well the seven that have been airlifted to Crete are ok apparently and will be home once the smoke dies down . My dad's not really with it he's in his own world of warfilms and caramel bars 🤣🤣 I'll be ok I'm resilient 🤣🤣 keep telling myself that I will believe it 🤣🤣🤣

Davey, saw the fires on news feed, saying much more fires this year than usual. Scary stuff for you guys. You must be exhausted keeping your mind on alert all the time for you and dad.Get your insurance sorted soon as, be one thing off your mind.

You will be missing on viewing your stars too.

[Hidden in reply to Maggie_Mae]

Yes no stars tonight too many ash clouds . It's not stopping the planes coming in or out 🤣🤣 apparently the local government as totted up were averaging about 100new covid cases a day , this is worrying

[Maggie_Mae]

It is worrying, understand completely.. Have you & dad received covid vaccinations Davey?

[Hidden in reply to Maggie_Mae]

The hospital forgot to give my dad his when he got discharged from hospital but their doing home visits soon so he'll get his I will get mine as and when I get my amka medical insurance . I'm going to ika tomorrow morning putting myself at risk because it's always packed and you can guarantee hardly any mask 😵 but I have no option but to go to get my medical insurance . I'm covered for everything then .

[Maggie_Mae]

Chase up that home visit, stay safe tomorrow when ur out, change ur mask often!

[Hidden in reply to Maggie_Mae]

The pulmonologist gave me some , when I went for my Meds at the pharmacy this evening the pharmacist knows I'm going tomorrow she told me to double up on the masks wear two. So I'm doing that and I have hand sanitizer I take with me . Just don't like crowd's of people . I've kinda got paranoid .

[CDPO16 in reply to Hidden]

I doubt that you are alone in feeling paranoid. Good advice from the pharmacist about doubling up on the mask. Best wishes cx

[Ergendl]

Good luck with your trip today. I remember going to the Rhodes Tax Office, so can imagine what the Rhodes version of the DSS office will be like. Keep safe. Hope all goes as you would like.

Been Told to do it online 😠😠😠

[kitchengardener2]

Good luck but take care

[Hidden]

Been advised by ika to get my amka online

[Mavary]

Good luck.

[Mavary]

Oh dear. I don’t think he will try that again. What an awful thing to happen. Perhaps he thought you were on holiday from England as the numbers here are quite high all the time but it is with vaccinated people and those that don’t get vaccinated are really silly because that’s the ones who would be really ill. I think Boris is right in one way by letting everything go because it is giving people more immunity if they get it after being vaccinated. It shows that the vaccine didn’t completely work in the first place if you get it after the vaccine. . And! Once you are vaccinated they say you can’t pass it on to another person which would explain why everyone in my Sons car didn’t get it all the way home from Wales.

[Hidden in reply to Mavary]

Now the tourists that are here have been vaccinated otherwise they wouldn't be here but some have brought the beta one and it's not shown up as one woman from UK and two hotel workers from trianda have been airlifted to Crete with covid beta variant . So you can pass it on unfortunately . Your son was lucky but no one in the car probably had it so very lucky chap 👍👍👍

[Mavary in reply to Hidden]

Is that s a new variant then? We seem to have the delta one here. So does that mean if you get the beta one you are not protected? I can’t keep up with it all.

[Hidden in reply to Mavary]

Beta is in the UK aswell as delta Delta from India and I think beta from either Africa or Brazil not sure it's damn confusing all I know beta is easier to catch apparently I'm waiting for the z variant there's bound to be one 🤣🤣😂
