I can't remember who said it but maybe.....

Am I the only one who was very disappointed reading that article feeling it said nothing. There were not any details or even a vague idea of what they were thinking of doing

See my post (#2).

But we are now conditioned to media 'reports' that contain nothing but meaningless platitudes and innuendo.

(AKA 'Don't let a good headline get in the way of a no-story' or 'Don't let the facts get in the way of a good headline').

What is our Covid Passport going to look like?

Does anyone remember

Train travel too? ..Greyhound bus travel?
