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

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.

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

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

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 .

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

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 .

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

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.

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 πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

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.

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 πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ˜‚
