Are people really that desperate to go on holiday that they will risk catching COVID 19 or spreading it when they get back?

Yes.






Probably.

Not me

My sister who lives in Canada has wanted me to go for a month to hers and the middle two weeks we would take a Hawaiian cruise

It’s been cancelled since 2019 but we still hope to make it when the time and safety is right :-D

It is not all about having a holiday…people are desperate to Fly to see family. As for catching and spreading the virus…is there more of a risk going to a green light country or visiting your local Sainsbury’s at home….who knows
:-)

Matt Hancock might like to go abroad for a little holiday - on his own, of course. . :-\

seeing the prices of some holidays - eyewatering
and the risk getting caught abroad if things change you must be desperate

i really sympathise with those who want to see family, i had to wait over a year to see mine and they live here, a few more weeks waiting should make all a bit safer

I do have a holiday booked ………. Ibut it is not until next year.

Fingers crossed.

I certainly can't see the attraction of going abroad at the moment - especially if the green country you are visiting goes back to amber while you are away - but then I never go abroad anyway so it makes no difference to me ;-)

I agree Dermot - I'm sure Matt Hancock would like to be anywhere but here today. I feel a bit sorry for Matt as I think he's worked his socks off over the last 15 months or so but people who give us the rules really should follow them themselves.

I've never liked airports because of the herding, crowds and hanging around with all sorts. Likewise I am wary of cruises, or any other activity involving crowds.
However, the sort of holiday we take in France in our campervan is, I feel, much like being at home. We cross via the Tunnel and don't leave the 'van. Don't socialise on campsites. Pop briefly into shops or supermarkets for supplies. Don't go in cafes, though might sit outside an odd time. Spend our time cycling, walking or reading. So no more contacts than at home.
Wish I was there now....

I longing to see my family in Australia but I won't be going until it is safe, late next year maybe.

Matt has Bojo's full backing, so his days are numbered.

It may have been inappropriate what Matt did but it doesn't make him bad at his job, also it is wrong to snoop and take photos of people when you are operating a cctv cameras.

totally agree, what makes it worse it is leaked to the newspapers to put the boot in
wonder what they were paid


too much of it going on

I think some people are desperate to get that tan that they think you only get "abroad".

We haven't seen our family since December 27 2019, and it doesn't look like we will get to see them before this coming December at least ........ and they live in the same country as I do. So that will be almost 2 years

I have little patience listening to others who complain after a couple of months! ;-)

If I have to fly, we go either Premium or Business Class, not to show off but because I need the extra space. I'm almost crippled by the time we arrive anywhere if we go in the cheaper seats.

I honestly think that anyone who travels out of their own zone at the moment is tempting fate ............ we don't even go outside Vancouver.

Shirley .......... I'm sorry but you wouldn't even be allowed into Canada at the moment. You wouldn't fit the category or returning Canadian or making an "essential" visit, so you wouldn't qualify for an entry visa. Plus there have been a few suggestions that Canada might close entry from the UK, as the US has done, until you get this new "wave" or whatever under closer control.

ZZzzz, I wouldn't count on it, unless you are an Australian politician, of course :-D

Yes we know it’s not possible even in the near future but we are hoping I will make it whilst I still have some mobility and health to do so


At the moment too am still recovering from the total knee replacement surgery and only been out three times in the last two weeks and that was for hospital and chiro and the essential hair appointment !

Sister is 71 and has only just her second jab

I have had both mine earlier in the year


We speak every Sunday so keep in touch but it would have been nice to have had our visit and trip


Hey ho ,we will do it some day we hope :-D
