I’ve not had a cold, a sore throat or a sniffle for a year. I bet most folks haven’t. Just goes to show how not mixing with anyone doesn’t just keep COVID-19 at bay. The measures will have kept all contagious ailments at bay.
Problem is Clive, when you do get the annual flu, you will probably be floored for a week.

I have had three friends die since Xmas, two of which had incurable cancer. I have a fourth who has been given less than 6 months. Two of the three who passed away caught Covid (it is alleged) in hospital, so they are officially recorded as being part of the death toll, for those who have died within 28 days of a positive test, irrespective of the fact that they would have died anyway. Its all very sad really.....

I wouldn't consider travelling abroad until 3 weeks after second dose of vaccine.

For some this would allow them to go abroad this summer, for others like myself then it would later in the year.

I’ll be offski as soon as possible. ie as soon as permissible and potentially enjoyable in the country to where I’m going, with no quarantine when I get back. Like there’s no point in going to Spain when everything’s shut. If somewhere else I fancy is fully open I’ll go there but it wouldn’t be on a package holiday either way.

I’ll have had my second jag by then. Fully expect to have a vaccine passport by that time which will open everything up to all in possession.

Looking like EZY cancelling more flights in June.
Majority of flights to Europe and beyond now not starting until middle of June or later.

LS also look to have cut back some routes to later start and also number of flights
