Well, at least it increased my motivation to permanently emigrate to sunnier climes.
I took a punt and booked very long trip to Japan in May, although I think the chance of that happening is perhaps 50/50. I think the likelihood improves for June to 80/20 and pretty much to a 100 percent in July. That is, if vaccine rollout goes here as planned, so fingers crossed.
I also took a punt on Japan in June but I’m not as hopeful as you are even for July.. I wouldn’t try take a guess on the odds but I am 100% sure that the chance isn’t 100% in July haha.
Japan is very cautious and by July I think the best we can hope for is 30-50% of the U.K. population vaccinated based on targets. Japan won’t have approval for the vaccine until at least March.
