The type of person that is taking a vacation to Jamaica during the worst period of a pandemic, is the same type of person that is a lot more likely to have Coronavirus since they sure as fuck aren't taking it seriously.

Were these people infected on the plane or did they just not get tested beforehand? If you're traveling internationally (or really at all) you should have a recent negative test before you leave.

This is why proving receipt of vaccine before been allowed to board a plane will be crucial going forward.

I bet a bunch of them are going to try to break out of isolation/quarantine too. The selfishness of a lot of people knows no bounds.

This was an internal concern at our last job. There were assistance programs that could pay bills and wages if you lost time due to covid. One of our manager said anyone that willingly put themselves, and by extension coworkers at risk, shouldn't be eligible.

"I got covid? What do you mean I have to quarantine for 10 days? Fine, if I'm gonna quarantine I'll quarantine in Jamaica. Honey pack the suitcase. Vacation time!"

And people are still getting together for Christmas as we speak.
Yeah, not to mention we still haven't halted travel to the uk. Which should've happened a week ago. I guess that's what we get when we basically don't have a president.

The amount of people still doing Christmas gatherings is ludicrous. Still pissed at our in-laws who are basically doing the same 20 person gathering (minus my wife, our children and me). They're usually smarter than that.

Two varation, one UK, one South Africa, both are more contagious, no reason to believe that vaccine will not work on them.

Indeed. Plus we've already been made well aware that it's quite possible to catch COVID-19 on a flight even if everyone is masked.

In a global pandemic, I still cannot fathom why on earth out of all things, that international travel is still allowed. Bonkers to me

Just to fill in the gaps and avoid more people calling these poor people

Jamaica banned UK arrivals on Monday, but there were already 3 flights in operation so the ban actually took effect from Tuesday. These positive cases are from those 3 flights (not all from the same flight) on the Monday and all arrivals from these flights were subject to 2 day minimum quarantine and testing. Their quarantine net worked as it caught all these cases before any of them reached general population.

User Warned: Inflammatory Generalizations
I don't like generalizing because in contexts like this it isn't true, but UK folks suck.

I work in hospitality and there is a UK based family staying in the hotel that I work for that are rude and overly demanding to most of our staff. Have some fucking self awareness. Also why are you traveling to the US right now, fucking reckless.

Does vaccine make you NOT spread the virus? Or isn't it just to not get sick yourself.
Ideally both preventing spread and curtailing sickness, but for now there isn't enough evidence to suggest what will occur. We'll start seeing some data soon I should think with the amount of people already vaccinated worldwide.

Experts say the new strain of the coronavirus is transmitted up to 70 times more easily than the regular circulating strain.

This part of the article is just... stunningly wrong. No wonder it's so hard to fight misinformation in this day and age.

Really don't understand why fines at the least aren't being used here...

Slap them with a £5000 fine and lets see if they do it again.
