Re: Who else is concerned about trip to UK for Christmas with family?
Under tier 4 restrictions, non-essential shops, hairdressers and leisure and entertainment venues will close, with a new “stay at home” message introduced. People who need to travel for education or childcare will be exempt, and exercise will be unlimited. Where people cannot work from home, they are still able to travel to work. Under the measures, households will not be allowed to mix, but one person will be allowed to meet with one other person outside in a public space. Support bubbles and those meeting for childcare will be exempt. <<<SNIP>>> |

I'm sorry folks: this is not the year to be travelling. This kind of irresponsible behavior is a large contributor to why we're in this mess. I miss my family too, but to me it's selfish and irresponsible to fly thousands of miles right now. Wait until next summer, then have a blow-out. I'm encouraged that most here seem to agree.
Minimizing the number of virus-carrying vehicles (i.e., living humans) moving about the country/planet is the most effective contribution most of us are in a position to make. None of us are enjoying this, but we're not doing it because it's fun, or even bearable. |

With some EU countries banning flights from the UK, does anyone think the US could do the same?
If so, would they typically give some grace period for USCs abroad to return home? |
Re: Who else is concerned about trip to UK for Christmas with family?
This is not a typical situation.

Do you suppose all those people a) had a negative test certificate taken in the 72 hours before their flight to the UK or b) had a test at arrival or c) were going into isolation for 10 days on arrival. Like heck...... Little point in lockingdown folks IN the UK when every Tom, Dick and Harry is allowed in from everywhere else. |
