What a bad headline on that article!
Since when does "having a plan" mean "promising" anything?
@wayfarer, if I could write in Irish, it would translate back as: you have reason with you. Even in French. And in Spanish. Oops! I have just scooped up a couple of chilly flakes from a recipe I was using. Hot! I know, it is tedious. Meanwhile, to keep us happy, so many little surprises are springing up. I got a phone call from the guy who delivers meals from the local community centre, and he handed over a Cocooning Pack. it has a very fine booklet with a range of information to cover free time exercises, learning to use zoom, recipes, input on mental and physical health, a quiz on Dublin, mindfulness mandalas, a pack with a drawing sketch pad, coloured pencils, links to useful phone numbers, a bar of chocolate... and more. I am keeping my eyes on a radius that is not larger than 5km at the moment. There will be a time when we can look beyond.All this speculation about all things Covid is, for me, getting a bit tedious. The reality is that no one knows what is going to happen and when. Most, if not all of these articles are clickbait filled with might be's and may be's.
It is what it is until its sorted.
There’s a well known joke about a tourist in Ireland who asks one of the locals for directions to Dublin. The Irishman replies: ‘Well sir, if I were you, I wouldn’t start from here’.
Europe promises to reopen for summer tourism in wake of coronavirus
As the European Union outlines plans to kickstart summer tourism in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, here's a country-by-country guide to which destinations travelers can visit.www.cnn.com
And it shows how many opinions there are. The title "Europe promises to reopen for summer tourism in wake of coronavirus" has been making the rounds in the news media because of an interview that Paolo Gentiloni gave to a number of leading newspapers recently. He is not "Europe", he is just one of the EU commissioners and a former Italian Prime Minister among other things. Tourism plays a larger role in the economy of the Southern countries like Italy, Greece and Spain than in the other countries. From what I read, the main focus is currently to open "summer tourism" for the domestic tourists.But this was also from today...shows how fluid the situation is
The reality is that while most internal European borders will start opening again on June 15th, at first that will be for travelers coming from the EU, Schengen travel zone, and UK -- and possibly a supplemental list of countries with relatively low and declining Covid19 infection numbers ; i.e. clearly not a country like the USA, where the disease is still spreading.
Whereas contrary to the rest of Europe, the borders of Spain and Italy are most likely to remain closed to foreigners beyond June 15th.
The only "promise" I have seen is one from the French Government, stating that "the French" will be able to go on holiday "in France" in July and August.
See below, no international travellers into Spain till after end October and still quarantine may be necessary.please enlighten me on Spain opening up to travelers. I suspect this will not be for people from Canada? I cannot see coming there and being quarantined for fourteen days there goes part of your Camino time.
im in Canada, we have the cdn.pilgrim association, who has been in contact with Spain. Apparently no international travellers into Spain until after October.
I don't know why we go on and on about when the camino will open.
Didier Reynders who is another current EU commissioner and also a former minister in Belgian governments gave an interview to leading newspapers a few days ago.
