There is little reason why people cannot travel to and from the UK once we are sufficiently protected. After we reach the point we are happy it makes zero sense to distinguish between mixing in the pub or travelling. The hypothetical strains and mutations chat is a piss poor excuse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm sure a once in a century global health crisis and the binning of all prior pandemic response planning is often at the forefront of people's minds when moving abroad to work or study. 6 minutes ago, Binos said: Pretty obvious why there should be a trade off, short term They can't control the vaccine roll out in other countries and the risk of new strains developing before global herd immunity is reached Like the new strain that arose in erm...

We should just lock down forever and do nothing but go to work and sit in the house because thats clearly the only way to protect us. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I wonder if we will have people calling for restrictions every winter now, just in case, as we just don't know how effective the annual flu vaccine that year will be. Of course we won't, despite the scenario by that point being almost exactly the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Binos said: Ask the govts of the world which are all doing the same thing Actually quite a lot of governments are preparing to open back up when they have people vaccinated and protected. Just what do you actually want? Whats the point in quickly rolling out a vaccine if we dont open things back up? Oz and New Zealand arent rolling out the vaccines the way other western countries are, thats why they are closing for 2021, thats cool, understandable, but for us, not so much.

Scosha Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 That’s tremendous news on the AZ transmission data. Haven’t seen one mention of it from the Sky News Breaking Twitter page who are only desperate for bad news to share by the looks of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Border restrictions will largely be in the bin across our continent by July. Except it seems, possibly not our little isolationist third of Great Britain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm much more keen to get domestic regulations binned asap I don't see why there should be a trade off with international travel, or a "let's hold off just in case" approach when vaccine rollout has increased. Just think next time you go to Portland you can get absolutely star spangled without worrying about an arrest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
