    1. Double vaccinated people are not tested so these imported cases are the ones found through the airport testing.

  2. 20 cases of local transmission which could be double vaccinated individuals ? they keep that information secret unfortunately.

  3. Just because you are vaccinated does not mean you can’t get covid and pass it too others, our son and daughter in law were both vaccinated but caught it from their son,who caught it at school!!!!

  4. Likewise, my friends family all double vaccinated got covid.
    Doesn’t mean you can’t pass it on.
    That’s why masks are still important to you and others.

  5. Not intending to stop wearing them anytime soon but people not wearing them and getting right in your face is becoming a regular problem.
    You try your best is only way to move about and as with road rage,try and avoid any kind of confrontation, ie keep opinions to yourself and steer clear of those daft enough to believe they are not at risk, by not limiting risk, non of us get it 100% right is best way of looking at it.

    1. I thought masks outdoors were only for crowded places. What’s the point of a mask when out walking with hardly anyone about?

    2. What did you get your OBE for? Why do you use it? Do you think it gives your opinion more weight?

      1. Masks outside where social distancing can be practiced are pointless. Limit use to indoor situations where crowded or where there is poor ventilation. It protects others more than the wearer. Where I live some folk still cross the street to avoid contact with others outside in windy weather. It’s “worried well”:syndrome and will take a while to dissipate.

  6. … As soon as numbers of Deaths and Hospitalizations are minimal then “Hopefully” mask wearing will Not be the norm regardless of whether the Virus is still around ,, I can’t wait for the days of No Masks required ,, The Sooner the Better !! …

  7. KWR
    My OBE was for charitable work in my community and internationally carried out over 50 years, ironically it came through whilst on holiday here in Madeira. When awarded it, you are requested to use it,even adding it to all legal documents.
    No I don’t expect it to add weight to my views, you either except them or disregard them, your choice and I respect that.
    Finally by actually using it, people like you will ask why I received it, that leads to questions and sometimes even donations to the causes I have contact with, I’m only too happy to point them in right direction, here the animal charity in Sao Vincente could use all the support it can get,or the food bank charity or running people who can’t afford the bus fare to the vaccination centre,so its a way of awareness, so for that,may I thank you KWR ( what did you get your KWR for ???)

  9. I do try, but sometimes its trying Erin
    I’ve been doing some business mentoring here Erin, that has been very rewarding ( for both sides I hope) its having varying levels of success.
