  1. Being Monday when UK flights descend on Madeira, it would be interesting to know which flights carried the imported cases of Covid.
    From which UK airport did they depart? Were these people unvaccinated?

    1. Unfortunately they will never tell us this top secret information how many vaccinated individuals importing the virus into Madeira.

      1. I had access to the top secret information. He is 64. Double jabbed with Astrazaneca on June 16th. Flew from Manchester. His address is BW457H2 in a house painted in white. His name is John (‘Johnny’ for his friends).

        1. Have you speaking to the neighbors donkey again ? He whispered into your ear this top secret information.

          1. Omg Johnny you’ve found out about Antonio’s neighbours donkey . The donkey will not be happy.

      2. Could you tell me what we could learn from this top secret information and how we know they brought it with them, rather than catching it in Madeira ?

        1. Unfortunately George we can’t give you the answer you require . Don ( also known as Antonio’s neighbours donkey) refuses to divulge any secret information . It’s a need to know basis only .

    2. Anna, if you have not been vaccinated you are tested at the airport. Therefore, those who tested positive had not been vaccinated. If they had been vaccinated they wouldn’t be tested. Simples.

  3. The tone of some comments regarding imported cases borders on offensive sometimes not to mention sanctimonious. “UK flights descend on Madeira”! What are they – barbarian hordes! or just people looking for a well-deserved break and are willing to spend their money on what must be a beleaguered tourist industry. Perhaps one should view it as Madeira’s border testing working as it should. What difference does their point of departure make? One could live in Devon and travel from Heathrow. What exactly does that tell you?

  4. …. Which UK airport ?? Which flights ?? That would be The Most Un-Interesting Imformation I could imagine ,, Surely there’s a problem with some Over Obsessing the minor details ,, they may need Therapy to help them recover from the addiction to Pointless Statistics !! “Or” Maybe just start analysing the premier league numbers …

    1. One thing to bear in mind those 3 cases did NOT arrive today!! They would have arrived on Sat or Sun. With the quantity of holidaymakers arriving today’s test results will not all be through until Tuesday.

  5. For goodness sake here we go again. Some people must have very small lives or very little to do obcessing over these things. Has it not occurred to you that some of these cases will be in Porto Santo, some will be detected on their departure test before returning to wherever.
    It’s not just UK flights “descending” on Madeira there are flights from many places in Europe and these people are all trying to enjoy in most cases a well earned and much needed holiday. If you have nothing better to do than try to find mysteries in the published figures and flaws in our way of doing things I’m sure someone, somewhere is wanting someone to do some voluntary work to keep your mind off trivia.

  6. I really don’t believe people are accusing any particular race for increasing the number of cases here in Madeira, just stating facts ie: where they flew in from, if the rules are being followed how can these positive cases board a flight in the first place? Once they are travelling the social distancing becomes impossible and everyone on the flight is surely vulnerable? The virus DOES NOT TRAVEL! People with the virus carry it and very generously share it around. Every country seems to have different rules, as do every airline, who can blame people for being confused? I feel sorry for elderly people who are confused by modern technology but do think the airlines and travel reps could be doing more to ensure everyone is prepared in advance of arriving at the airport.

    1. Airlines do not set the rules governments do! Madeira’s rules clearly state that you can travel and do not need to take a test if fully vaccinated, or, if not fully vaccinated, you can do a pre-departure PCR test or have one on arrival. Anyone travelling should be aware of the rules in place at their destination. People are not deliberately travelling while infected or “generously” sharing it around as so offensively suggested. As with most viruses, depending on viral load or lack thereof, you can test negative one day and positive the next. It really is time this was put into some perspective instead of accusing others of irresponsible behaviour.

  7. Mavis, all the vaccinated people can fly into Madeira no PCR test required importing the virus undetected.

    1. Johnny, absolutely right. all the vaccinated people can fly into Madeira no PCR test required importing the virus undetected. Then when they have given it to 20 or 30 locals, they return to their hotels who employ 5% of the population and after changing, they stroll out to spend their money, the locals wages, in the bars and restaurants of Funchal. Of course, this makes for wear and tear thus requiring maintenance that another sizable portion of the population do. This is all with the permission of the Madeiran Government who have this strange view that it is better to have a controllable number of Virus cases than have an unemployed, unpaid, population.

  8. … Mavis/Johnny ?? you seem to be overlooking the Glaringly Obvious Clue/Fact that if this was a problem then there would be massive increases in positive cases in the tests taken by the population ,, Wishful Gloom Thinking on your part ,, Fortunately you are Both Totally Wrong ,, Throw in the Towel !! You’re barking up a non existent tree …

    1. Russell, what you talking about ?
      Look at local transmission daily figures then there is likely to be cases still undetected by the government.

  10. …. Johnny ,,, I’m talking about the large numbers of people arriving daily against the Low numbers of Local transmission ,, Common sense versus the Fantasy Nightmare you crave ….
