Quarantine lifted for Portugal

Re: Quarantine lifted for Portugal
The suggestion that "they're all against us" is rarely true and often a way to inculcate hostility.... or to suppress criticism.

Re: Quarantine lifted for Portugal
Well I have to admit that your probable right Eric ( This is ME.. not the speculations ) The Portuguese have all but admitted that it was the way they sent in their figures before the air bridge was announced They didn't ( apparantly ? ) calculate them in the way the Brits did. Lumping ALL the new figures of infections under LISBON.. Instead of under the different camera's... That shot the figure up beyond the cut off of so many per 100,000 in one area Thats the story now

Despite

I have suspected from the outset, that despite the R numbers, there was a political case behind the UK delaying the lifting of restrictions on travel to Portugal. Maybe it's China, maybe something else.
However, I hope we are not going to see a massive influx of tourists from the UK, particularly England, as Portugal does not need an influx of rule breaking loonies. I also hope that Portuguese locals will refrain from travelling to the UK unless absolutely necessary as the British Govt. is way behind Portugal on managing spikes and the virus.

Exactly Rosemary... This is a knee jerk reaction from Chislenko... It is almost entirely BRITISH people posting their concerns on here. If it is about other BRITISH people's behaviour in the country the poster is living in, its entirely legitimate to say so. Being British does not exempt you from just criticism, if your behaviour deserves it. And Oh boy as I know. it too often does

However, I am convinced that there is something (apart from Brexit) underlying current political relations between London and Lisbon. I'd love to figure out what is is!

It's come to something when conspiracy-mongers can't be bothered even to attempt a plausible explanation for their theories

Let's see how the infection rates accelerate in the Algarve in about a month's time when the Brits arrive. Currently Algarve, and particularly the Eastern end one of the safest places in Europe.

But, then again, it isn't the Portuguese saying that - which was your incorrect suggestion.
