Share your experiences of hotel quarantine in England
We would like to hear from people who have arrived in England from high-risk countries and have quarantined in government-designated accommodation
Told her to document dates, times and what happens. Also photos of the food/poor conditions etc.
I will help her with it all. She is very scared and unhappy.

I like the sound of 'overly cautious' myself. This government could have used more of that in the past.

self quarantine should get at the least a phone call or 2 in the 10 days of quarantine or at best, a door knock
My friend from Germany came back to UK in April and quarantined with me. No contact was made at all. She complied with the quarantine bc shes quite a rule following person but there was nothing to make her keep to it

I feel for your colleague so much: has it gone to the press yet?Update on Indian colleague in (prison) quarantine hotel.
Her telly is broken and they refuse to fix it due to the situation. She asked to change rooms but that was refused.

Our infection and death rates will fall behind theirs, something said travel companies clearly don't give a shit about.
Not yet. She wants to get it over with and log all the shitness. Then she will sort all the diary, photos and recordings with some help and we will plan the attack.

I look at the election results and I remember the handful of anti-lockdown idiots we've seen on this forum during this pandemic, people who imagined things reaching the point of civil war etc. Must be quite the reality check for them, except I doubt they would recognise reality if it walked up to them and forced them to wear a mask.

The travel list is pretty pathetic. Most of the places on it can only be reached by military transport plane anyway (South Georgia, anyone? Literally 30 people live there). Is there any good epidemiological reason why, say, the USA or China are not on the green list? Vietnam, Thailand, any of the other Asian countries that have dealt pretty well with things? What's so special about Singapore that it manages to sneak in there? Why not the UAE, have they not inoculated more per thousand than we have? Regardless of whether or not they would actually be accepting tourists (after all, Australia and NZ aren't), there are other places that could definitely be on the green list without any undue danger.

Why can’t they just have no international tourist flights until it’s all calmed down? Not having a summer holiday is not a big deal

Still absolutely fucking fuming cabinet members were planning holidays in June last year.

Always happy to see no flights to the UAE. And I'm delighted the government is - for once, finally - not bowing to the self interested demands of the aviation industry.

I tend to agree ..
Your personal feelings about a middle eastern nation aside, I was asking about an epidemiological reason why the UAE is not on the green list (among many other places that could be). The government have sold the aviation industry down the river this past year, given them far less support than some other areas of the economy, absolutely zero ability to plan for the future, no certainty whatsoever, changing rules on quarantine and shifting countries from red to amber to green at a moment's notice, and keeping them closed or at limited capacity for longer than any other sector except nightclubs. It's been pretty disgraceful the way many governments have treated aviation and tourism tbh, given how many livelihoods it supports around the world. It's not limited to here in the UK but we certainly haven't been 'bowing to the self-interested demands' of anyone in the aviation sector.
If you're not going to open up flights, then you HAVE to give more financial support. Where is Shapps with his bottomless pocketbook on loan from Rishi when it comes to aviation? He said he'd given, I think, seven billion pounds of support, which might sound like a lot but it really isn't.

We're in the middle of a fucking pandemic, with a virus that is mutating daily. Holidays in the sun can wait a bit longer.

I agree but please keep in mind that it's not just about holidays for many people. There are families separated and people in the middle of international moves caught up in this.
miss direct is absolutely right, anyone who thinks this is just about holidays in the sun is just being deliberately obtuse. It's about way more than that, and yes we're in a fucking pandemic, does that mean we have to lose all sense of human decency in the process of trying to deal with it?
Again, I'll repeat it. If you're going to continue to ban flights, which is totally fine if there's justification for it, then you HAVE to give more support to the industry or it won't fucking be there at the end of all this shit. Nor will some people if they're kept from their homes and families much longer.
