I suspect any country with good vaccination percentages won't do anything until there's a new variant which they need to keep out - potentially just enforce PCR tests before travel if they don't already.
Not to mention, actually our cases have dropped 2k a day the last 2 days... let's hope that carries on for a while!
Most countries are massively underreporting their cases, as they don't have the testing infrastructure to test anywhere near as many people as we're testing.
The UK is basically plague island at this point, and even the government is saying it could hit 100,000 infections/day. Given their track record it's likely to be worse than that and I can see the UK being kept on red lists for some time to come.
Besides, judging by the number of people who refuse to wear a mask, many Brits won't want to travel to countries where it's mandatory anyway.
Plague island? Jesus, overreact much? Where are the dead bodies piling up in the streets? The death rates in the past 7 days were 1.2 per 100,000. 1.2, and that's somehow a "plague"?
If they were not putting COVID as the cause there would be an unexplained high mortality rate compared to other years.
Countries like France, Germany and Italy have checks in place to prevent this kind of fraud. The UK does too, which is why when our government limited the numbers to deaths within 28 days we could still see the true figures. And in any case the UK numbers, even after being fiddled, are multiples of our peer's numbers.
As for bodies piling up...

Herd immunity is the current policy, which necessarily involves a lot of people dying.
