Just had a text from "UK Health Department" saying I've recently been in contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid and to go to their link to order a testing kit, The txt number ending 505 is a scam so they have your card details if you order. Beware! These scammers will try anything. 😡😡

So I just got back from Canada where I saw first hand how a still Covid-scared country is dealing with things.

I cannot begin to describe what a omni-shambles clusterfeck it is over there with regards to this. If it was the UK, there'd be cries of how inept Boris and the Tories are over it, but we don't even come close. It nearly ruined our whole trip.

Anyway, back in the UK now, thankfully.

Friends of mine have just returned from a holiday in Canada, had a great time, no mention of an ‘omni-shambles clusterfeck’ at all. Maybe they stayed in a different town.

So no 5 phone calls a day and Covid police knocking on your door then (despite being fully compliant)?

Complete and utter disarray.

In peculiar twist of fate, my wife's mate has just returned from visiting her grandma. She didn't have a mask or anything and mentioned nothing re covid.

My boss has separately just come back from Vancouver on a family trip and mentioned nothing of it either.

As a side note, why is Canada so popular?

Out of interest, When you booked the trip weren't you made aware of any Covid restrictions/Things you had to comply with?

So no "monkey pox" or "bird flu" for that North American colony's scientists to fret about yet?

Yes, in fine detail. And we were compliant.

And we told then proved that to about 10 different people including some Government lackies who knocked on our door who admitted they didn't know the rules fully themselves. Absolute shambles.
