Have a list of the current variants of concern and interest - https://www.who.int/en/activities/tr...oV-2-variants/
The variants of concern are;
Alpha = Kent/UK
Beta = South Africa
Gamma = Brazil
Delta = India
Of the variants of interest (innocent until proven guilty at this point) we're all the way to Lambda (Peru variant)

UK government quoting a five day turnaround to produce the letters that Malta needs. Don't know what they do for other countries and if this is just a ploy to reduce tourists from the UK.

So we get the nightclubs back up and running from 19 July and we can snog and French kiss perfect strangers from day one, no more restrictions!
And yet….we still agonise about whether we should replace school bubbles. That does not fit my vision of what constitutes ‘normal’. Have we forgotten what ‘normal’ is?

Obviously, Yale Medicine should have called on you, because they believe there are still uncertainties about the Delta Variant…
https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/5-...-variant-covid
Quote:
There are additional questions and concerns about Delta, including Delta Plus—a subvariant of Delta, that has been found in the U.S., the U.K., and other countries. “Delta Plus has one additional mutation to what the Delta variant has,” says Dr. Yildirim. This mutation, called K417N, affects the spike protein that the virus needs to infect cells, and that is the main target for the mRNA and other vaccines, she says.
“Delta Plus has been reported first in India, but the type of mutation was reported in variants such as Beta that emerged earlier. More data is needed to determine the actual rate of spread and impact of this new variant on disease burden and outcome,” Dr. Yildirim adds.

Some people like that though, they're not interested in the local culture/food/people, they just want the sun.
I prefer a bit of a mixture myself, but if a country has good English I find it much easier these days.
I'm surprised they haven't introduced a translating device that immediately translates various languages into English verbally. Headphones could cut out the native language & do this to prevent confusion.

Hahahaha.
Maybe they should do English to Spanish and see if it can translate lager lout after 5 Carlings into Spanish.

Hi Carth. I don't think it's going to be a compulsory end to working from home on the 19th but ...... Just thought I would give you this link just in case it may unlock a few £s to offset the costs incurred by your wife and daughter working from home. Sorry for butting in if they are already doing this.

It would save the EU a fortune. I once saw a film where one of their translators got bored, so changed what was being said and inadvertently started a war between two member states!

It sounds made up, to be honest.
We should learn Mandarin. So at least we can ask the Chinese to lie about the lab leak in their native tongue. It would also save me pointing to a menu and saying a number 67, an 88 (no onions) and a portion of chips please.
