Maybe the Atlantic bubble will have opened up to outsiders by then. Good luck.Last year we were prevented from going, so we walked 800 km of the Rockies in Canada instead. If we can't go we will find a walk across Newfoundland, or something.
Nick, where I live people are literally dying in the street. You may not be inclined to take this seriously, but it IS serious.The Delta the latest scariant, still have Alpha, Beta, Omega, Lambda and and a few others from the Greek alphabet to roll out down the track I assume. Not sure what the Greeks did to deserve the notoriety ?

In my opinion just make a decision and run with it, personally I find it helps if you turn your TV off.
No Caminos for myself until all the mask wearing stops, I don't believe they're healthy and the on, off, on, off, on off repetition drives me crazy. Also don't want to end up looking like this:

In my view, a total lockdown is pretty much impossible, the approach at the moment in Spain is to go for local lockdowns in places where incidence rates are soaring, I do not see another nationwide lockdown happening, not even regional or provincial lockdown, only local ones, if at all, apparently we are the third country in the world in percentage of vaccinated population.
I'm not sure about that figure in comparison to the countries of the world but there is no doubt that Spain is among the leading EU countries as far as fully vaccinated persons go: about 62% of the adult population in Spain are fully vaccinated, the same percentage as Belgium and only topped by Malta. And close to 80% of the adult population in Spain had at least one jab, similar to a number of other EU countries (all figures from the ECDC who collects and publishes them). Amazing figures if you ask me.apparently we are the third country in the world in percentage of vaccinated population.
Yes.@VNwalking - you have people literally dying in the streets? We haven't had any of that in Europe, anywhere, even at the worst of times - Crikey - which country are you in?
Alpha is the (UK) Kent variant; Beta is the South African variant - they've been out and about for months now.The Delta the latest scariant, still have Alpha, Beta, Omega, Lambda and and a few others from the Greek alphabet to roll out down the track I assume.

In the UK 60% of new hospital cases (mainly Delta) were double jabbed; last week we were seeing 45,000+ new cases a day - the NHS is worried it can't meet another onslaught - and yet the government seem quite happy to allow people to "act responsibly".I don't see the sense of another lockdown with many people vaccinated and numbers increasing daily. If we all just adhere to the standards rules of masks inside, washing hands and keeping our distance when deemed necessary, what will be gained by another lockdown. I am more nervous about those few that don't get vaccinated and keeping out of their way for the foreseeable future.
No people dying in the street here in Sydney, although the coverage would suggest as much.Nick, where I live people are literally dying in the street. You may not be inclined to take this seriously, but it IS serious.
Thanks for the post Jeff although I am having difficulty finding anything to verify the 60% claim of hospitalizations of the double jabbed.In the UK 60% of new hospital cases (mainly Delta) were double jabbed; last week we were seeing 45,000+ new cases a day - the NHS is worried it can't meet another onslaught - and yet the government seem quite happy to allow people to "act responsibly".
Another lockdown, in the UK at least, odds on favourite!
