I get what you're saying but the risk profile has changed in a lot of peoples minds. If you're double vaccinated and your family member is double vaccinated the chance of death or major illness is reduced massively, I'm pretty sure I seen a statistic that nobody double vaccinated under 50 in the UK has died from covid. Unless some sort of variant comes in which isn't even the case yet. If we had a vaccine resistant variant fair enough but thats not the case currently.

This country is absolutely finished in the long run unless they increase the size of the NHS.

They want us to turn on the NHS and demand they privatise it, and while I know it's wrong I'm at the point already where I'd happily pay some kind of freedom tax to avoid having to condense living life into a few months every year. I'm aware many can't.

I've given up on the idea of ever going abroad again though and that happened easily, so maybe I'll get used to this way of living as well!

Why’ve you given up on going abroad, it’s not shut you know ?

Also, you’re talking like all this in the future is a foregone conclusion, when it really isn’t.

Let’s not forget, there was predictions after opening up in July, that we’d all be locked away again by now, after a Summer of death.

How about let’s wait and see, before going into full on Captain Mannering mode.

Going abroad from the UK is a bit of a pain and can be risky at the moment. EU nationals can travel freely without any testing.

I know that it's a lot easier to travel now, but even with a green list country, you need to provide a negative test before your flight home as far as I know. I can't really afford the risk of testing positive and being stuck abroad for 10 days. For me, the risk isn't worth it at the minute with work and whatever.

Same for my missus, which is why we cancelled ( again ) but for lots of people that’s not an issue.
