Well, I took a peek at travel for vaccinated . It appears Greece is open and accepting vaccinated . Sounded appealing at first but then I remembered about them eating the animals out of the zoo in desperation .
the country is having issues, no thanks. Iceland not so appealing, boring and Macedonia sounds scary, it might not be but no thanks. Maybe I will just wait for Paris to open up to vaccinated.

You might not be alone in those thoughts, I'll bet lot's of people have itchy feet and the vast majority of those who might travel will be vaccinated anyway. There will be masks on planes and at airports for a long time though.
Getting my 1st Pfizer on the 24th and the second 105 days later in August. We ordered 800 million doses of the top candidates early including the 4 approved and it's trickling in, enough to vaccine the population 10x over. We are gonna be making our own mRNA's from here on out and cooperate on the front end of development and trials etc with others in the same boat and America. Never again.
Better to have everybody 80 percent covered than half not covered at all, the vulnerable might get the second shot earlier. We should have adults who want it covered a couple of months after you folks, but they will be hard months with the variants. Where I live in NS cases are still low at around 3 dozen, in other places it's getting pretty bad.

It was the early 80's when I was in Greece. There were no shortage of issues then either.
I don't want to go anywhere unless a backpack is involved.

Might want look at the P1 variant which is from Brazil, it's now taking over the UK and out competing the B117. Looking like it will become the dominant strain every where until a worse variant pops up. BC Canada is in trouble with P1 and it will spread everywhere unless we shut down international travel, but it won't happen.

The global village is as hard to lock down as any other village, international travel is not required much for business these days or can be curtailed quite a bit, then there are family reasons, but then there are frivolous reasons. It demonstrates that vaccination will have to be a global effort and might even include some domestic animals.
Once we get ahead of this virus and ramp up vaccine production with improved vaccines and have a stock pile of effective treatments, I feel this will be manageable for the few years necessary to eliminate it or turn it into a sniffle. I don't think some of the Chinese and perhaps the Russian ones will be very effective against the Brazilian variant. If it's filling hospitals and killing unvaccinated young people, the unvaccinated older population mortality rate must be astronomical, especially as it tends to overwhelm healthcare systems. Brazil with their version of Trump running the show is a disaster and will make what happened in America pale in comparison.
that's why we weren't ready for Technology, we don't evolve quickly enough..soon we'll have the capability to just print guns..oh wait!

Did you see the 30 year study on immunity of the other corona viruses that effect humans that I posted a while back, natural immunity only lasted for 1 year at the most with them.

I'm thinking that you may get sick, but your immune system has seen it before and you might not get as sick, but why take the chance, if you don't have too. We will soon see what will happen as vaccines lapse in America, you would be the first to show the effects, FIFO, first in first out.

not in Oregon. We are still following CDC guidelines. At least, in my area we are.

WOW, strapping people down and putting in ventilator tubes without sedatives, it's getting medieval there.

Got my 2nd shot this morning. The health department ladies were out working in the pouring rain. The line was backed up in the street again, but it went pretty fast. I was out of there in just over half an hour, and 15 minutes of that was the post shot waiting period.
