My blueprint for travel:

1. Reopen travel to all countries, except those where there are specific concerns about a new variant that could evade the vaccine, on March 1 (assuming UK's most vulnerable are vaccinated by mid Feb, as per the Government's target).
2. Let vaccinated people travel overseas, and home, freely.

3. Keep the testing requirement to return to UK for everyone else, but ditch the quarantine. When our vulnerable are vaccinated we don't need two safety nets.
4. Reopen all UK tourism, or at the very least self-catering accommodation, also on March 1.

For heaven's sake we need something to look forward to. What risk is there if my wife and I want a quiet weekend in Devon?
