Ok shoot me now....It is only my view ...BUT I cannot understand why anybody would be contemplating going abroad during this devasting outbreak of Covid.
For business, very possibly... for recreation and Sun defo not.

There are many peeps on this forum who absolutely agree with you. I am one of them. I am utterly baffled by those who are still going. We have cancelled our ferry for the 31st August and our campsite booking. It’s not just about catching the virus, it’s all the other stuff as well.Ok shoot me now....It is only my view ...BUT I cannot understand why anybody would be contemplating going abroad during this devasting outbreak of Covid.

Or bringing it ! Impossible to never be near people and are people sure they have no symptoms but carrying it ? I wonder if they will down load the french tracing app ?

I wouldn't go personally. We have no idea what this virus is going to do next but it's not going away. I don't want to be ill abroad, we tried that last year and it's dire being ill in a country where you don't really speak the language.Other stuff?
It's really no problem except to fill in a questionnaire online, on your return.
So you are coming back ..when..not if .. you get it.???Because it's safer in France? Far less people and much easier to self isolate in a motorhome

So have been tested to be sure you aren’t carrying it ?I didn't catch it here in over 4 months and even less likely to catch there.
I can be back here within a day if I do show any symptoms.
I've already spent a month in France and Germany - Scotland for the last two weeks.
Still fit and well thanks

No and that is why I am not even going to our local market never mind over to the U.K.Not yet - have you?
So you can be back here in one day if you show any symptoms....well that is really reassuring to the sensible people who stayed at home to keep safe and inconsiderates like you are going to run back home as soon as you get it....Thanks for your concern and I hope your fellow countrymen forgive you as they are fed into the fire or lowered 6ft under..I didn't catch it here in over 4 months and even less likely to catch there.

Just said to Mrs Poppycamper what do you think Stealaway reaction will be and she agreed with meNo worries -- you stay safe locked up in the wardrobe. Just like the 66 million other people in this country?
8 people died of yesterday of Corona virus in this country, probably none of them was sensible ---- or me
We are also booked on the tunnel on 2nd September, it isn't specially the self isolation for 14 days a problem for us, its if France is added to the no go list, then our travel insurance and more importantly Breakdown cover would be invalid (that's what Nationwide insurance told us.) If the ban would come after we have left then we would be covered but if before the 2nd Sept and we was still to go then it would be invalid, so at present we have everything crossed. MarkWhy cancel you will be able to go and probably self isolate for two weeks. We are off on the 26 August no probs!

Are you going to get tested?No not yet - have you?
Unfortunately the result will still only be good for that day.
so are people not going out in the UK except for work?Ok shoot me now....It is only my view ...BUT I cannot understand why anybody would be contemplating going abroad during this devasting outbreak of Covid.

My understanding having read the latest information from Nationwide, is that on the basis you don't travel against FCO advice then full cover is in place. However, travelling to a country not on the FCO safe air corridor list then you will not be covered by the policy. The only exception to this, is if you had a holiday pre booked and paid for prior to the 23rd March 2020.I have just read the Nationwide conditions relating to Covid. Unless I have misunderstood it it says that there is no change to breakdown and mobile phone insurance, but general travel insurance will only be covered if your journey was booked prior to any FCO advice against travel.
Will someone else read it please as it's bound to read differently if someone picks a different page on the website.
Your issue is with your Government who invited us over.No and that is why I am not even going to our local market never mind over to the U.K.
But is you who are a guest in my country so you would be quite within your rights to ask me the same questions should I be visiting your country .
Also to ask me to download the tracing app if you had one .
Indeed and I agree with you on many points including downloading the app as compulsory for entry .Your issue is with your Government who invited us over.
They have kept the borders open for people (atm)
Their constitution did not allow the Q14 when it "existed"
You get to change those things with a vote in the national elections, if you are able to vote as an immigrant who hasnt taken up french citizenship yet.
I totally agree about the tracing app, I wish they would go further and make it a condition of entry that you had to have your gps location on at all times and be able to show it at the border where you have been for the past fortnight as (has been pointed out) you could say you have been anywhere. I would prefer people to have to prove they have been in a safe country rather than a self declaration of choosing that you have been in a safe country.
Going away has to be the most individual life choice decision. People have had things happen to them or friends that sway the decision in one direction. Others look at the figures and the benefits outweigh the risks to them because they might be more carefree or younger and fitter. Its just personal choice, like voting one way in a referendum to voting another.
As long as it is legal, what is the issue ? Its just a different train of thought.
