Some interesting comments and insights, thank you. I cant say I disagree with any but the most pessimistic of comments. We have in effect already accepted that this trip will not be going ahead. We have a visit to Greece, backpacking around the Greek islands, booked for late September/early October with friends travelling from across the Atlantic to join us. Inevitably that must be highly doubtful as well.
No doubt the holiday venues, particularly Mediterranean countries, will be very keen if not desperate for tourist revenue. It will be interesting to see how the tensions between science/health, politics and economics work out. I am particularly interested in how China might choose, or be forced, to deal with issues of food health and bio security, a topic that is occupying another aspect of my life at the moment.
