That makes no sense. Lockdowns force people to have less contact and therefore less virus transmission. UK numbers have dropped significantly in the last week, clearly proving lockdowns work.

I'm wondering what people's thoughts are regarding travel restrictions when lockdown measures start to ease. We all know lockdown measures will ease slowly, however, what do people think when it comes to the travel restrictions regarding those lockdowns. Will they be one of the first or last measures to be eased? Furthermore, what about, as an example travel to Europe. Do you think European nations will allows Brits in if our numbers (both deaths and cases) are low? Vaccinations in Europe are moving really slowly, and it seems like it will be a while before their populations are protected.

Lockdowns force people to bring the interaction to their household where that only further worsens the problem.

That 59K figure could be an outlier from when everyone was together at Christmas locked in households.

So the logic would be do not mix households?

apparently that’s your country’s logic. I couldn’t visit my sister right down the road when I was there over Christmas.

Sorry, I am just following from what you posted. You said the numbers were higher because of the brief Christmas relaxation where households could mix. So there is a correlation in your mind between mixing households and higher case numbers.

Nothing will move/change until the summer is my bet.

Also, from the Telegraph, a snippet of news that might be the final nail in the coffin for those wishing to travel this year.

This would effectively kill BA. They won't survive this.

Let's get cases down to Australia levels before adopting the Australian quarantine measures. Also Australia has no road links to foreign countries.

BA, Virgin, easyJet, HAL, GAL, Eurostar, MAC...The list goes on. But this is the f*ck business government so who knows.

Its unbelievable. As you mentioned before - travel may be dead for 2021???

I read the article on the paper and it seems still far from a done deal. No. 10 seems dead against it. I'm no corporate-wage-slave, whom I imagine sitting at the head of the table in Cobra meetings, but I'd hazard a guess and think that Priti is playing the bad cop, Shapps and Sunak the realistic ones and Boris is the adjudicator.

For the life of me I don't know how Priti still has a job. Her and Gavin Williamson.

Him especially. He has utterly screwed education at all levels.
