Summer holidays 2020

[sasha320]

Do we think European summer holidays will be happening?

Specifically I’m thinking of Greek islands, when do we think flights to Greece and the islands will restart (if they’ve even stopped).

Anybody have any views?

The lockdown isn't about letting the virus burn out. It is about reducing the rate of infection and so allow the government time to build up healthcare and testing capacity.

In turn this suggests that in order to take the chance with International travel; two things need to be in place

1 - Transportation to get you there and back

2 - The destination has to have sufficient healthcare capacity.

Because the holiday will very quickly get ruined If you fall ill and there is inadequate healthcare capacity and most (if not all) travel insurance policies are now excluding Coronavirus.

I think Coronavirus has focused the minds of many cruise goers.

Imagine being ‘quarantined’ on a cruise ship with a virus that is worse than Coronavirus!?!
