There has also been various articles in the UK listing which places are likely to be on a green list which include US , Malta , Maldives etc

It matters not one iota where we’re allowed if the places we want to go won’t let us in.

Hopefully USA will take us off their red list mid May.

Can't see why they wouldn't.

Think you are in the wrong thread.

You are obviously pretty negative, so best you leave.

Also my “I can” was because the previous post mentioning CNN or CNBC was brought up which I knew about, my original query still stands, I’ve not seen any news recently, which is why I was asking.

I don’t do positive/negative, just in search of facts. That’s what we all crave, surely?

I saw people on various forum accused of being negative because they though travel to the USA wouldn’t return by the end of last year, I also saw people staying positive thinking we’d be back underway travelling by now, neither will help.

Post your "facts" as you call them elsewhere please.

Again, you are in the wrong thread.

It’ll be interesting how it happens, when trump was about to allow us in, back in late January it was widely reported that he was going to drop the proclamation few weeks before, it was then reported that Biden was going to reintroduce it, both were accurate reports, we have nothing to go on for far.

In the politest way possible, it seems from reading your other thread, that you have a vacation booked later in the year, that you’d prefer could be easily cancelled. Borders opening up will not help you and so the feeling I was getting (and I may be wrong) was that you’d prefer them left closed. I think you are concerned about quarantining abroad with children if you test positive before coming home, which is completely understandable. Many people will feel the same way and do not want their insurance companies given the opportunity to say ‘use it or lose it’ (I think you said).

You have a very valid viewpoint and I respect that.

However, equally many people will be hoping for boarders to open for their own reasons. Homes or family abroad; mental health; or simply they can’t wait to start living again. They aren’t worried about or can manage the quarantine issue and are not concerned about their children being affected because their have risk assessed the threat for themselves. All equally valid.

You are right that we don’t know yet which way it will go. The hopeful cannot say we’ll definitely get to the US this year and the less hopeful can’t say that we won’t. We will find out soon in the coming months.

This is the positive thread, which is simply a place for the hopeful to chat and share rumours with the full understanding those rumours may be nothing more than just that. We are not claiming to know definite information. We are not claiming to have inside info. It’s simply hope... and as you say will not make a difference to the outcome. But people are ALLOWED to hope.

We can hope borders open, and you can hope they don’t (if that’s your position). Both are acceptable.

One thing many insurers and travel companies are doing, is allowing people to delay their holidays, cancel or in my case, cancel if I learn I would have to quarantine. (Although I would still go personally). Everyone must be aware of the terms and conditions of their bookings right now, that’s the only really certain thing.

Yes, there is a time and a place. I use the little red button. As is by magic negativity disappears and positivity abounds.

And it's not about burying your head in the sand I think it's right to be positive on this anyway given how things are progressing.

The clue to this thread is in its title.

I would prefer that the doomsayers and pessimists started their own ‘doom and gloom’ thread. Then I can avoid it.
