All the economic reports I’ve read suggest nobody expects recovery to 2019 levels for three to five years (just a guess, but it’s been pretty unanimous!). It will be like 2008 and the years after but amplified massively. Disney have mothballed resorts, they are clearly not particularly optimistic of an immediate short term recovery. |
I changed my newly cancelled December trip yesterday for April 6th,crossing my fingers for this one, if it doesn't happen then we'll change it again. At some point we'll need to all start living again, we can't shut the world down forever 🙄

I keep seeing things like “I’m sure flights will be running by then” etc. Flights are running now and have been throughout.
In my opinion, it’s going to be a hard winter for UK and USA. Also, likely the Trump is going to lose the election and quite hard I think. So we will probably see USA move into an even more protective state under Biden. He will look to bring transmittal down rapidly, so more interventions. I would be surprised frankly travel was opened before April. Direction of travel of this crisis would need to significantly change. USA doesn’t need British tourism a huge amount economically, no where near as much as vice versa. Vaccines and rapid testing may have some positive effect, but as these are not in place yet and need a long time to implement over large populations. Even if tourism does open it won’t be normal experience. I think we will get better and better at living with it during 2021 but the aim for normality (no social distancing, no masks etc. is 2022.) |

The governments strategy is vaccination. This can be done fairly rapidly (months) for those whom are vulnerable. It won’t be existing infrastructure, they’ll use the driving testing centres etcs. That’s the exit plan. Once that is complete, while quarantines may need to stay in effect we can ramp this crisis significantly downward in 2021 for the UK. We will also be able to potentially establish travel corridors with other nations with similar vaccination programs implemented. |
If its 2022 Bal, then the world will have a lot more to worry about than Covid. 🤔

The only thing as far as I can see that will allow this and other areas to return to some sort of the normal we had before is mass vaccine. Until that happens, I cant see things changing much. I hope I am wrong though. Sorting new flights and refunds etc. and shown by the many posts on the dibb and many other places shows there is much to lose in terms of anxiety and mental health. So I am glad it is "Simple" for you. |

The whole world is fighting this terrible thing. Are you saying that pretty much every country on the planet is wrong on this? I can see how cancelling/refunds etc is no big deal for you. That is great. But for may others it has been a terrible time - just look at the many threads on here on exactly this. |
