Doesn’t mean the taskforce wouldn’t make an announcement

Don’t think it would come from them personally

Hoping to have clarity one way or the other by the end of next week.
Just don't want to cancel everything, then find out Biden has reopened the border, VA have put flights back on and we could have gone.

I've put a provisional booking down for August next year and booked an Alton Towers stay for when we should be in Orlando this year, with cancellation policy - just in case.

Exactly, all I've cancelled so far is airport parking.
Imagine getting the refund and then that evening finding out you could have gone.
I think I would rather suffer a few more days of uncertainty than go though that. Even if at the end we can't, which I fully expect.
I would be in the exact same place as I am now

Our package with TUI hasn't been cancelled. I am like a woman possessed checking emails and on line news every five minutes. I just wish he would make the announcement, whatever it is going to be, so that we can all breath a sigh of relief/disappointment and get on with things, its the uncertainty that I can't stand.

Agreed, currently waiting for my refund from BA but can’t decide whether to move annual leave to later in the year and try again for US or book a UK/CTA holiday or book a green list holiday and hope it doesn’t change. Nice problem to have in the grand scheme of things but as someone who likes to book early and be organised the uncertainty is tiring to say the least. Everyday I keep telling myself not to check the internet for news but can’t help myself!

I'm currently a cigarette paper thickness away from cancelling US. I set Tuesday 20th as the cut off point, but I think I'll give it a day or 2 longer to allow for "several days" and the rumour of the 21st.

I know the odds are tiny, but I'll give it a little but longer. If not I hope sunny Corfu is still on.

Where did the 19th July date come from?

These are my thoughts exactly, it’s the not knowing I can’t stand.
