Discrimination of coronavirus vaccinations? - New U.K and U.S rules
Opinions of Monday, 20 September 2021Columnist: Amanda ClintonThe new entry rules for travelling into the U.K (that applied from July 26, 2021) and traveling into the United States (that will apply from November 2021) means that double vaccinated people who got vaccinated in the U.S, E.U, or the U.K can enter the U.K without quarantine. Therefore the rules appear to suggest that if you are British or Ghanaian etc. but double vaccinated elsewhere, that is outside the U.S, U.K, or E.U, the standard 10-day quarantine still applies as a blanket rule. If that is the case, should different rules apply depending on which country you got vaccinated in? U.S, U.K, and E.U representatives should shed more light on these new quarantine rules to be applied and clarify why such a distinction exists.

Psalm Adjeteyfio’s cry for help a failure of our pension system – US-based economist
However, he questioned whether Psalm Adjeteyfio’s cry for help is a failure of the pension system in the country. “That being said, can we view TT’s cry for help as a failure of our pension system in the country? If so, the questions that comes to mind will be: Is TT receiving pension? “From my perspective, addressing TT’s cry for help is like trying to fix one pothole on a highway with thousands of potholes. “Therefore, this the time for policy makers to reflect on our current pension system and redesign it to meet current living conditions, and if possible, make it mandatory for all working citizens to contribute to a national pension scheme as it’s done in America with the social security system,” he said.
