Covid and travel discussion

Sooner or later they have to take the handbrake off and accept some risk.
Otherwise we may aswell accept permanent restrictions for years
ive not been following the virus thread,but is that not the long term goal,have the Vaccine and let go 'get on with it' cant see we can do much more
 
Got Cape Verde booked in June. Probably less than 50/50 now even though we’ll both be fully vaccinated by then.

Exactly as the Govt are doing stage by stage. Lockdown will gradually ease and can be reversed if cases increase hospital admissions and deaths start to undermine the NHS.
 
Why would we need to stop all travel this year if the majority of adults have had a vaccine ? 50% of all adults have had the first jab. Utter nonsense. I work hard and want my holiday, didn’t go last year. Utterly strange how some are so against it. Also some absolutely terrible classist comments on here regarding those who go on holiday to Spain etc. Me and my partner are both working professionals under 30 with a child, prices are insane in the school holidays and the amount it costs to get there for even a week is insane.
 
I would assume it is not the vaccinated English folk going on their hols but more the destinations. Will the guys flogging fake raybans on the beach have had the vaccination? doubtful to be honest. Will all the maids be vaccinated? all restaurant staff etc etc. That is likely the main worry.

You could also be fully vaccinated then WHACK, a new strain is found that nobody knew about somewhere and you have 50k people from England mooching about the place getting sick from it. Governments will be worried how fast the South African strain mutated so will be tentative about travel at first. Doors being flung open all at once seems unlikely.

Countries with poor medical infrastucture may be lagging behind ourselves by months if not longer. Those places will stay on a no travel list until they catch up. Or maybe they are ok but have high international travel rates with other countries who are behind. They may have poorly controlled borders with neighbouring countries where people come and go with little to no checks.

Teenagers in your family may still be waiting but everyone else is vaccinated, i can't imagine the government being to keen to let them travel.

There are a few issues with starting the travel industry back up as i see it so would not even bother trying this year myself. I'll book when it's settled and i don't have to be arsed juggling my schedule with the can i/can't i go nonsense hanging over my head.
 
I really hope it comes off for you Mr Barm. We Managed to get away for my 60th at the end of 2019 and we just managed our 40th wedding anniversary in 2000 by the skin of our choppers. Wife's 60th had to be sacked off this year so we look forward now to having a belated.

We couldn't even go to a restaurant so I had to make dinner and we had Soup of the day, Pukka pie and peas and Aunt Bessies Bramley apple and do you know what it was nowhere near as good as going out to a nice restaurant however the Pies were beyond delightful. Fingers crossed for your Mauritius trip.
They get married very young up in the hills don't they!
