This Twitter thread from a couple of weeks ago might be of interest to you; lots of data, including directions of rates of infections in various countries and likely effects based on timings of the vaccination drives and prevalence of any given variant in the population. UK really lucked out (once you casually dismiss the 150,000 deaths, of course) with timing. Breakthrough infections, I was reading yesterday, are still pretty low and I thought within the expected protection percentages of the vaccines in the numbers given.

Yeah, we’re twitchy about getting away – we did get a week on Kos in November, of course – but we’re cautiously optimistic that our plans seem to have a reasonable chance of success so long as the people and the government don’t conspire to fuck things up once again.

The Canadian border is now closed thru mid-May (although that hasn’t stopped the Buffalo Shuffle). Breakthrough covid infections in vaccinated people are now being reported in multiple countries. Given all of this, I’m increasingly pessimistic about our remaining scheduled cruise going off as planned. Looks like it might be a US road trip or nothing, if we want to go on vacation. And I MUST get a vacation this year. Getting desperate.
