Re: Who else is concerned about trip to UK for Christmas with family?
I guess my overall message is that we are trying to make the most of a horrible situation and the global pandemic. I used to go long, long periods without seeing family when in Arizona. I’m now doing the same back in Scotland. Peace, love, light and happiness to all of you.

Interesting, but lifting the restrictions doesn't mean that the incidence of the virus is down of course, nor does it change the requirement/need for quarantine to protect others. For example, I think we are stuck until my OH can get the vaccine. Can't risk either my son or myself having to quarantine here with OH. I hope they hurry up.

As much as I want to see my son WhatsApp and Skype are our best friends for communication for now.

I'm finding this very difficult to reconcile and am not really sure if the friendships will make it out the other side

If anyone is curious about approx how many people are flying out of US airports per day, TSA updates daily how many travellers went through their checkpoints, it does include all travellers not just paying passengers.
They also provide the same number for the same weekday in 2019.
1,070,967 2020
2,624,250 2019

Well we know who one of them was:
Denver Mayor Hancock apologizes for flying for Thanksgiving after urging others not to travel due to COVID-19

He is from Planet Denver, on third and last erms so presumably none of this is an issue.

With Hull, UK becoming #1 for covid cases recently, I believe that we made the right choice not to travel this Christmas with my kids, after erring on the choice. The moral of the story - you never know what can happen.

I have been travelling between NJ and UK. Have to say it feels a lot less safe in NJ than UK. It’s so lax in NJ it’s scary. Actual airport travel is brilliant. So few people on the plane there are rows free. Never felt like social distancing was an issue. Just a pain wearing a mask for so long.

I planned a trip to visit my husband in Nottingham. I'm in Tennessee now and didn't even consider that with the new lockdown I may not be allowed to go? Anybody know if I would be allowed to visit?

In my experience, a test result is received back in two working days. So best to count with 7 days if you choose option b).
Therefore, if you want to spend Christmas with your husband, you should fly to the UK no later than 17th of December.

Technically, upon arrival in the UK, you ought to quarantine a) for 10 days OR b) 5 days plus a negative test taken 5 days after your arrival. Source: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavi...ational-travel

As her husband is there, presumably sswrght1 is aware that Nottingham has been a bit of a hotbed for the virus.
