Some 21 million people in 16 areas of France, including the capital Paris, are affected as the country fears a third wave.

[emmie]

i hope that we do ease up, as this has gone on so long now, businesses going bust, and the countries unemployment at an all time record.

[riptide]

Think a lot of it will happen, not sure about holidays abroad. Still think, masks, social distancing and limits on numbers indoors will be here for a very long time to come.

[emmie]

you could be right, i know that i fear a resurgence of this awful virus, i know it hasn't gone away and is still killing people, but with the vaccinations this is coming down.

[Prudie]

You know what I think we are all depressed about it enough without worrying even more about what's to come. Europe is way behind us on vaccine roll-out and that is the small light at then end of that tunnel for UK. Let's cling on to it for a while.

I think there might be minor delays but I think in general it will happen. I supect that travel abroad will still be tightly limited and some kind of enforced quarantine on return will be around for a while. The places in europe with problems have a much lower rate of vaccination than the Uk. Barring any serious new variants, I am feeling optimistic

[davebro]

Didn't BJ promise no more lockdowns? I'll go with that.

[emmie]

woof, i hope so, i still hope that businesses can open when the roadmap says they can, that my poor hairdressers can fling open their doors and say welcome. Though can see for the time being travel will be restricted.

[Bobbisox1]

And their leaders should hang their heads for attempting to halt the vaccines

[emmie]

they should, but i guess they might think better to be safe than sorry.

I hope so, after tighter restrictions on ourborders and measures to deter holidays into mainland Europe this year. the EU has let the whole world down as well as the EU countries. Really worrying.

[emmie]

hope no one has plans for a European vacation,

[Bobbisox1]

People here are lockdown weary and I've heard it said they won't adhere to another one, easier said than done though if everywhere remains closed

[Bobbisox1]

We have Emmie but it is what it is , it's gone on since last year anyway so we will be patient and go when we can

[emmie]

that;s what i worry about, the shops need to get back to business and we need, even with wearing masks, to get back some sense of normality.

[emmie]

i know Bobbi,

[teacake44]

Breaking news, air pollution is way down, due to holiday planes being grounded. So that's fantastic news!!

[emmie]

yes of course and the hundreds of thousands in and surrounding the travel industry have likely gone bust, or been lucky enough to be on furlough.

[emmie]

oh for the silver lining teacake.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes Emmie , get them back flying and get people working once more :0)
