Heathrow has announced today that passenger numbers have reached 38% of pre-pandemic levels. That is well behind their EU competitors. These are the figures in graphs. The only difference between the first two graphs is the time scale.

The cases and deaths are identical to the day before and does not look quite right?
The BBC is reporting 38,520 cases today and 181 deaths

Remember it is a two way street, and nothing is stopping places from barring UK residents from entry if things go crazy. We are already far higher than anywhere else in Europe.

I'm a US citizen and just had the pleasure of spending five days in London with my husband and ten year-old daughter. My family returned last night.
From the conversations I had with people there I got the feeling that people are just done with covid. Very few people wear a mask anywhere, and other than some extra hand sanitizer here and there, covid just doesn't feel like a thing anymore. A few people specifically mentioned being glad to have freedom back. I live in Texas and it feels more covid vigilant than the UK.
My family and I loved our trip because things felt so normal. I can't wait to come back again. I think that the moral of the story here is, if you're ready, get vaccinated and then live your life.

An NHS trust has spent more than two weeks running on emergency measures after skyrocketing demand since mid-September, while others have kept people waiting for more than a dozen hours in the backs of ambulances.
The Independent has learnt one patient in the West Midlands spent 13 hours waiting to be handed over to staff at the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals Trust.
Gloucester Hospitals Trust declared its internal incident on 19 September and only stood it down on 5 October, while Londons Barnet Hospital took similar extraordinary action on Monday due to high demand.
Such pressures are being felt across the country with NHS managers seriously concerned about what the coming months will look like as temperatures dip. One said they had not seen things as bad in more than a decade.
In Gloucestershire, patients in A&E have faced 20-hour waits for beds and delays of between eight and 10 hours in seeing an emergency doctor, at the busiest times. The trust has declared three incidents due to pressure on the system since the start of last month. The latest was triggered on 19 September.

Make no mistake, the situation in the UK is not normal (after all there are still around 1000 extra deaths per week) notwithstanding the hospital pressure. People may feel that way however this is not correct.

For some healthcare staff they are not yet living their life and are feeling the pressure.

* I think to describe these demographics here would be to cross a line and therefore inappropriate to this forum and thread.

Here and Texas are at completely different junctures in the pandemic. So I dont think its worth a comparison.
England had a total of 10 months of varied lockdowns across 3 periods. I think the US has had one lockdown period, right? The U.K. public have given up a lot and put in a lot of efforts (the majority that is!) to make sure we can get to a better place and put this behind us.
The vaccination programme here has been remarkable. Still a bit of way to go. But overall the public feel like its time to get going again. Which is a nice feeling after 18 months of strange, hellish feelings we have undoubtedly all suffered. Masks, social d and better hygiene will and should stay around. Many wont bother and many will.
But its good to be back. Cant wait to visit you guys (albeit it wont be Texas just yet but its on my list).
