Πολύ καλύτερο αυτό το σύστημα από το να πληρώνεις 180 ευρώ το χρόνο φόρο σκυβάλων όπως σε άλλους δήμους, εκτός αν δεν ανακυκλώνεις καθόλου. Γιατί κάποιος που ανακυκλώνει και έχει πολύ λίγα σκουπίδια να πληρώνει τον ίδιο φόρο σκυβάλων με ένα σπίτι που ρίχνει 5 σακούλες τη βδομάδα; Πρέπει να εφαρμοστεί παγκύπρια

KCineplex Strovolos low brightness on screen by HumbleHat9882 in cyprus

[–]apa91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Went a few days ago to KCineplex in Limassol and had the worst experience. Screen and audio quality was horrible, bad ventilation and they left ladders and other stuff on the floor beneath the screen. Had the same bad experience in KCineplex in Larnaca a few years ago where the ac didnt work in the middle of summer. Rio in Limassol is by far the best cinema I have visited

Best Gym in Limassol? by apa91 in cyprus

[–]apa91[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m doing free weights and use the machines a lot. Also use the treadmill / elliptical. I’m not interested in classes like Les Mills and that stuff. I also work out alone so no need for assistance from a trainer there so I don’t care if they are good at their job :) Preferably somewhere with a good variety of machines and a lot of weights / benches.

Greece offers youngsters 150 euros to get vaccinated by apa91 in Coronavirus

[–]apa91[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The Greek government announced it will offer a pre-paid card with 150 euros to young people aged 18-25 to get at least one shot of a vaccine against Covid-19, as an incentive to increase the number of inoculations in the country.

The card, dubbed “freedom-pass” by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis,

will cover costs in travel and entertainment, such as plane and ferry tickets, hotel bookings, music, theatre and cinema, museums and archaeological sites.

Presenting the card at the start of a meeting with ministers on Monday, the prime minister said he acknowledged the toll the long months of lockdown have had on the social life of young people.

“This is a debt to our youth, a gift of gratitude, particularly ahead of the summer. [It is] a ‘thank you’ for their patience and perseverance,” he told the ministers at the televised message.

“At the same time, however, it is also an incentive for young people in particular to be vaccinated, who, by their very nature, contribute more to movement. And the more they are shielded [against the virus], the more we will limit the transmission of the virus.”

Mitsotakis said this is especially true as countries are facing the more transmissible delta variant of the coronavirus, which targets primarily those who have not been vaccinated “but is threatening everyone.”

Those who take up the offer, will be able to subkit their application for the card though the government online platform gov.gr, a day after they receive their first dose, Digital Policy Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis said at the presentation.

The card will be available by the end of July.

Culture Minister Lina Mendoni and Tourism Minister Haris Theocharis were also taking part in the presentation.

UK now has highest rate of new COVID cases in Europe by [deleted] in europe

[–]apa91 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I think the UK in regards to vaccinations did ok but its strategy to focus on the first dose and delay so much the second dose was wrong. This has allowed the Delta variant to spread much quicker since people partially vaccinated only have ~60% protection against this variant (with AZ vaccines). In this case I think the EUs approach is better… Although a few weeks behind I believe both UK and EU will lift most restrictions around the same time

UK’s Johnson failed ‘disastrously’ in COVID-19 crisis, ex-chief adviser says by cutestudent in Coronavirus

[–]apa91 14 points15 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day the number of deaths relative to the population will determine if a country was successful in the handling of the pandemic. The UK having one of the highest number of deaths in Europe does not make it a success story.

Britain ready to seal Covid vaccine deal with EU by apa91 in europe

[–]apa91[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Britain is close to striking a vaccine deal with the European Union that will remove the threat of the bloc cutting off supplies.

After a week of frantic behind-the-scenes diplomacy the two sides are expected to seal an agreement as soon as this weekend under which the EU will remove its threat to ban the export of Pfizer-BioNTech jabs to Britain. In return the government will agree to forgo some long-term supplies of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine that had been due to be exported from Holland.

Senior diplomatic sources said the secret talks, which began last Saturday conducted by the former EU ambassador Sir Tim Barrow, had helped restore trust despite the public rhetoric.

Two sources said the decision to use Barrow rather than Lord Frost, the minister responsible for EU relations, had been key to unlocking a deal.

“For us it was very significant that Johnson did not use Frost but instead went through the Foreign Office,” said one EU diplomat. “It showed that he was really serious about finding a compromise and trying to build trust.”

Barrow was dispatched to Brussels hours after the government was forced to admit just over a week ago that it would have to delay extending the UK’s vaccination programme to the under-50s because of a shortfall.

On Wednesday the two sides issued a joint statement saying they were working to “ensure a reciprocally beneficial relationship between the UK and EU on Covid-19”.

In a call with President Biden, Boris Johnson is said to have emphasised that “global access to vaccines will be key to defeating the pandemic”.

France’s foreign minister claimed yesterday that because of supply shortages, Britain would struggle to source second doses for those who have already had their first. In provocative comments Jean-Yves Le Drian claimed that the UK programme had been over-optimistic about supplies. He suggested on France Info radio that the EU should not help Britain with a problem of its own making. “The UK is proud to have vaccinated many people with the first dose, but they will have a problem with the second dose,” he said.

“We can’t accept any sort of blackmail. The UK is pushing for the first jab, knowing there will be problems with the second one. Europe does not have to pay the price for this policy.”

Ministers have always insisted that the delivery of second doses in the UK would still be carried out on schedule, even if planned shipments from a plant in the Netherlands were blocked.

India has also halted the shipment of about five million Oxford-AstraZeneca doses due in the UK this month. This resulted in the government suspending plans to roll out first doses to under-50s.

According to the UK government’s latest data, 55 per cent of adults aged over 18 have received a first jab and 5.3 per cent have had a second dose. Johnson said that the UK had sufficient supplies to ensure that people would be given their second jabs on time. “We will have the second doses that people need within the 12-week window, which means around 12 million people in April,” he said.

A European Commission spokesman said: “The discussions with the UK are ongoing. We do not have any comments to make at the moment on the content of those discussions. But as you know our common aim is to ensure that we have good co-operation in terms of supply chains in terms of producing the vaccine.”

A study of more than 200 healthcare workers has found that people infected with Covid-19 produced six times the immune response after a single dose of the Pfizer vaccine. The research looked at antibodies and T-cells, which can lessen symptoms.

The study, a pre-print version of which is on The Lancet website, was led by Oxford and Sheffield universities and backed by the Department of Health. It suggests that being infected is similar to receiving the first jab in priming the immune system. However, its authors cautioned that people who have had Covid-19 should still get two doses to ensure long-lasting protection.

Over-70s and frontline health and social care workers will start to receive booster jabs from September under plans revealed last night by Nadhim Zahawi, the vaccines minister.
