I was supposed to go to FL for a month on April !st.  Looking forward to rebooking once travel opens up again.

Before rebooking it is with checking your travel insurance will cover you for CV19 related problems - travel or medical related.  Most currently wont cover you if you rebook.

Have done, in any case many companies didnt cover it before

You also need to cross check any travel advisories on the date in question as they are time lagged when things change

Just let my dog out for his nightly Pee.
First time I've ever seen a Fox in the garden!
Wonder if urban Foxes/Rats are having trouble getting food from Restaurant dustbins?

I think the whole "insurance for covid-19" issue is going to be unresolved for some time, as it's going to depend a lot on whether it is completely under control around the world, with "herd immunity", vaccine etc. or whether it's still an ongoing high risk to health.    
Maybe they'll eventually cover it, or maybe it'll become a standard exclusion.   If it is an exclusion, that's going to take a brave person to travel knowing that if they become ill on holiday, and need hospitalisation, it could end up costing them £££££'s.

Personally, I don't see the overseas travel industry bouncing back very quickly at all.   Maybe UK destinations will, first....once we're allowed.    But then UK demand will outstrip supply and prices will rise.    It might be hard for UK B&B's, hotels, lodge parks etc now, but I see a boom coming their way.

I'm convinced the rats are back under my Summer House but the rat catcher isn't considered an essential worker so can't check! As for foxes he told me they only come into gardens in our relatively rural area if they are either desperate or confident they won't get disturbed as opposed to the "city" ones that have learn't to live alongside man.

There could be a boom for UK travel later, but I think it depends on how long lockdown goes on for. There's talk of it lasting until June, and if it does then demand in the economy will have gone off a cliff and unemployment could be millions higher. The longer lockdown goes on surely the slower economic recovery will be.

I think June is optomistic. If the lockdown is released then Corvid-19 cases could rise.  It may be eased slightly but I think we are going to have to live with it until there is an effective  widely available and reliable test as to whether you have 'had' it so that you have some immunity.  The when an effective vaccination and vulnerable have been vaccinated maybe life will get back to normal.
So Christmas?

Sea_Shell

Blimey, I REALLY hope that life starts to get back to some semblance of normal by Christmas!!   

Easter is basically cancelled already...but Christmas is a whole other matter!!   

(Not in our house, I hasten to add.  It's a non event most years!!)

I don't see how the current lockdown could go on till Christmas without economic and social collapse no matter how much the government tries to pump into the economy. There will be difficult decisions to be made at some point in the next couple of months. One thing we have to consider is that tanking the economy will lead to unnecessary deaths in the future.
