I did check whether Aberdeen FC had any players from distant parts the last time they had an outbreak in August -the virus was very different from anything sampled at the time. Turned out to be from Kazakstan.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

Yup. And shows that hotel quarantine is going well.

Shame it's not Cowdenbeath as their football team is ironically called 'the blue Brazil'

I'm interested to see what happens when P.1 / B.1.351 hit London and battle it out with B.1.1.7 - especially as vaccine coverage is going up.

Interesting. The UK hotel quarantine scheme is not long enough for a start. Needs to be at least 14 days.

Needs to be from all places. Crazy they can require it for Spain but not USA.

We don't have any COVID here, so it's fine.
