RE: important please read - personal opinon2 Apr 2021 11:33
Good morning Alex, nice post , I may not agree with most of what you say but your thread clearly says personal opinion which everyone here is entitled to.
You have also put in your thread important please read , so I'm guessing you also want to hear other opinion based on your post , ill try and give you mine.
Firstly you mention cineworld will be flat for the next 10 days , I agree it has not been nice viewing but the general feeling is this is cineworld and the last 3 or 4 months have had a positive trend with a few drops along the way. I disagree about the 10 days, I personally believe as I have mentioned that with a new financial year and some cinemas opening this may have a positive swing /bounce whatever you like to call it. I would however be interested to know why your opinion believes its 10 days only, in case I have missed something , but I guess neither of us will know until the next week happens right as neither of us are mind readers. I'll also ask is BOFA and jangho not big market players.
With regards to portugal and not the rest of Europe I'm a little more baffled on. Part of my job is to understand restrictions etc in place for international travel especially coming into the UK. So for instance to travel to the UK which INCLUDE British nationals, you need to provide a negative covid test , a passenger locater form which shows where you will be quarintining etc and you also need to provide proof you have purchased and will be couriered a covid test on day 2 and day 8 of quarantine, theses are all mandatory.
So borris can make what rules he likes at the border for national security , as he has made it ILLEGAL for holidays away form the UK.
Borris however can decide Monday in his announcement that from so and so date you can now travel abroad, and while he for instance can say portugal and the U.S only it will be down to the individual countries if they will take us , NOT BORRIS
Currently like the rest of Europe Portugal have made visiting them for essential travel only this is thier CURRENT rules.
UK British nationals will need to provide proof of a covid test taken with 72 hours for all people over 2 (yep 2), if you are from the UK you will need to provide proof on why your travel is essential and the reasons, furthermore you will need to self isolate in portugal for 2 weeks. These are the current rules in place plus others subject to change by portugal.
My point is portugal will decide when we can visit and not just borris.
So while I agree holidays will not be happing anytime in the next couple of months I fail to understand while you feel portugal will be excempt from this. And when we do decide to open up travel I can see it being perhaps a green country list similar to the red , which will be subject to change , while the rest of Europe catch up on vaccinations. I believe cineworld will then move on up still as we will be forced to use national resource for entertainment like cinema bars and rest
