Ah ok. So basically nothing has changed for us then. I was reading it that we'd be able to fly without having to go via another country.

You would hope that for as long as these requirement on entry are in place the FCDO advice against travel will remain thereby hopefully triggering cancellation of flights etc.
Always worried about falling into that trap of having the flight able to go but still needing to quarantine on arrival. |

I've not really kept up with things, so I *think* this is still correct, but do your own research etc.
You can travel from anywhere but: - China - Iran - European Schengen area (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City) - United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland) - Republic of Ireland - Brazil Source >>> cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...countries.html I might be wrong but it seems like the USA announced their "bad list" and has not revised it in the same way we did. |

I'd say I agree with most of that, there are a couple of opposing forces pulling the eventual end date closer and also pushing it back at the same time. As you say vaccine rollout will pull it closer, new variants push it back.
I wouldn't say that it will drop off a cliff come spring, but I too am expecting a significant dropoff. It's all about who you listen too. Early on everyone was predicting different outcomes, but as the path of the disease has played out, I've sought out people that predicted it to play out like it has, or those that have explained why their initial guess was wrong. They are most likely to be right about how it will play out from here. I've ignored politicians. Most scientific pieces predicted this pandemic to follow the Spanish flu pandemic, which basically was 18 months long. I am expecting a bad rest of Jan and Feb, then sometime in spring things will look up, from there I think we will move forward slowly, but steadily. I think this is the last lockdown, but they will be slow to move out of it, to ensure it is the last. I'm expecting she spread to increase again next autumn, but not nearly enough to warrant a lockdown, as by then most of us will be vaccinated.

The way I try to retain a bit of perspective and positivity is this:
March last year it seemed like lockdown would be never ending and the ability to travel was a distant memory... even some predictions had it that Disney wouldn’t reopen ‘till 2022 🥴. Then lockdown eased and pretty soon after I was holidaying in Greece with my family. Did we have to make some compromises? Yeah course. But even with no vaccine and no rigorous testing regime in place to facilitate travel; we got a holiday and it was epic. Right now things are just as, if not more, bleak as they were last March - but the difference is we have a vaccine that’s much more effective than even the experts predicted and hoped for. We also have a travel industry who have worked pretty hard (on both sides of the Atlantic) to set up methods for testing before/after travel to reduce quarantine. I do really believe that come the spring, things will seem much more positive. If we could holiday last summer without a vaccine, then I’m hoping we can certainly holiday this summer with the most vulnerable (and plenty more) of the population vaccinated. There may be some compromises to be made still, which I totally understand some people don’t want to make when it comes to a Disney trip. But for us, it we can use up our DVC points without having to bank them into RCI then I’ll chalk that up as a win - even if we have to wear masks. |

Hence why I said US residents/spouses and green card holders, currently 14+ day resident Brits can't fly direct to the US.
Read of a few who've 14 day transited via other countries to get to the US, I know a couple who went via Qatar. As much as we're missing our Bokeelia winter we couldn't be chowed going via another country... I'm watching the beast from the East blizzard that'll quickly cut our village off, at least I can watch Bokeelia's sunset on the live cam.
