Leisure travel helps spread Covid, which is something many don’t or won’t accept and then try to justify. As children can’t be vaccinated the risk doesn’t go away and there are enough under 18’s to stop herd immunity when added to the numbers of people who will refuse to take a vaccine. The big mistake will be opening up leisure too early. At some point governments are going to have to make a judgment about how many daily deaths are acceptable.
I wonder whether the gentleman on this thread who said maybe 5 weeks ago that he was going to South Africa for a long holiday no matter what got there? Now we have the South African variant, which is worse than the Kent version. Was it brought into the U.K. by a returning holidaymaker who thought his holiday was more important than suppressing Covid and has gifted us a new strain?
