This is exactly why I won't be travelling until this madness is over. Why are these eejits so desperate do visit another country? Now it's a field day for the travel companies who can charge what they like. This was always bound to happen.

ZM: "I agree. So why aren’t you travelling now? The risk may well be much the same in years to come. " - because I can't stand all the BS and the possibility of being stranded or back here in quarantine. I don't give a rats April about the risk of getting the virus.

I tolerate the inconveniences of travelling to work, and of shopping for essentials, because I have no choice. other stuff - like eating out, entertainment, leisure travel - is done for enjoyment and TBH it isn't enjoyable with all the current legislated restrictions. I for one won't be helping anything or anyone by attending anything at this time, until such times as it could be enjoyable again. if that hurts the economy well tough, the government should have factored that into their risk assessments when applying their petty regulations.

But that risk of quarantine may continue for years without an effective vaccine.

Our Welshie drove to a building contract in Monaco (loaded with own tools & hardware) for one weeks work & returned last week. No known lockdown.

ZM, yes, I'm quite prepared to not go abroad, plenty of UK places to go to that I'd like to visit. I'll just wait for us to collectively come to our senses and accept that getting the virus as something we have to live with.
