"For those that have booked holidays,whilst still under the covid19 restrictions,have you had to contact your travel insurers to see if you are still covered?" Personally we haven’t.

"For those that have booked holidays,whilst still under the covid19 restrictions,have you had to contact your travel insurers to see if you are still covered? I have heard that no insurers will cover for Covid19 related problems as it is now classed as pre existing" I saw something on Martin Lewis about this, the way I understood it was that if you had an annual precovid policy and you renew then you would be covered. So long as you keep renewing I believe you are covered. I may be wrong but that was how I understood it. | |||

I have heard that no insurers will cover for Covid19 related problems as it is now classed as pre existing" New holiday insurance is now stating they won't cover for pandemic issues. I'm lucky I have my annual one that renewed just before everything went tits up I haven't booked anything new, as yet I'm still going to Florida this summer. I would have usually booked for 2021 by now but owing to the Olympics being pushed back we will go in the opposite direction instead now. If it's correct that the prices will be rock bottom I'll book something hot for Christmas + new year | |||

But my prediction is this one will be more than ever " The only reason I haven't booked December yet is that fear. Time will tell I guess. Once I've finished replanning August 2021 (we were supposed to fly to Hong Kong then on to Japan but the Olympics have moved back a year so Japan is now out) I'll start looking at Dec 2020. It's main stream media predicting the prices will fall as confidence in the sky staying up is low. | |||

" Have u visited Japan before ? We were there last new year, loved it. " No. I lived in Hong Kong (as a kid) and have been to Thailand etc but I've waited for my little ones to be older before venturing that way again. The original plan was Japan for a week (Tokyo then Hiroshima) then over to Hanoi and down the East coast of nam before flying up to Shanghai and getting the train back to moscow. Hopefully we can delay it all just for a year though | |||

We shall be in Vietnam this new year (all being well). Should be in Shanghai September but I’m doubtful on that one. Did Moscow two years ago, stayed right by Red Square, Lenin’s tomb was one of the highlights for me | |||

"All very interesting places to visit and great for Children to visit these places and see such different cultures " I don't actually like flying but it is very important to us all to get out into the world and meet people. We've staying in some places we'd rather forget but met people and learned things we'll never forget We can't do big crowds for any duration so we stick to quieter places, hence why we'll only do Tokyo in a small chunk. My son still uses Arabic and Tunisian phrases they learn so much and it's worth every penny | |||

"I can't see anyone being able to go on holiday until at least Spring 2021. It's all very well the UK Government saying we can travel, but not all countries are following the same guidance. Many countries are enforcing 2 weeks of quarantine, so even if you can get anywhere, you may not be allowed to go outside when you get there. And what about arriving back home into the UK, 2 weeks in quarantine also?" Jesus. Your a bundle of joy. | |||

The world needs to start spinning again and travel/tourism is one of the biggest parts of that. The government will revise this quarantine thing soon, there’s already been talk of air bridges. I just think they don’t want to lose face so have gone ahead with it. It wouldn’t be enforceable anyway. | |||

"Program now on BBC parliament. Select committee discussing UK quarantine policy." Saying that safest thing is to quarantine rather than test at point of entry, as a negative test does not mean to say the person won't show symptoms some days later.Professors from Hong Kong, Singapore and New Zealand all agree mass tourism is not a good idea at the moment because of the potential transmission of the virus. Think we all know that! | |||

Any reason you think the euro will crash?" The Euro was Germanys way of taking over Europe. If it cant win militarily then they can win if they control the financial markets. Its backfired on them now so let's see what happens next. Ever wonder why the UK never joined the "single" currency? | |||

"Once we come out of Europe we won't be able to use EU hospitals for free. " That is not correct. The UK paid £440m in 2018 to cover the costs of UK EHIC cardholders needing medical treatment in the other EHIC member countries. We charged the EU the grand sum of £14m for their residents using the NHS. Post Brexit EHIC participation is still to be decided. | |||

Those figures are not quite correct the latest figures are 674 million and 50 million. Still a massive difference. Apparently the discrepancy is down to treatments being cheaper here and the NHS being worse at billing and recovering the money. All this is pretty irrelevant. If we leave with a deal then a good chance mutual health services will be included. Leave with no deal and it is very very unlikely. Health costs will covered individually. | |||
