Well its not up to Mssrs Biden and Johnson is it? The virus is here for the foreseeable and neither of them has a magic wand that can make it safe for you to hug your grandchildren. We're all in this together.

It seemed that by July, we would be able to hug them- and now with this variant, it has all become so complicated again- and those with OCD, and who are particularly worried about Covid, even though vaccinated and all who want to meet vaccinated- it is all up in the air again.

Yep, not bothered about going on holiday at all- just be with our adult children and grandchildren in 'real life'.

The USA borders are still closed which means it is now 18 months hs since I have hugged my DD (I saw her 3 times a year before COVID). During which time she has had a baby (who is now one year old) whom I haven't met yet. My DGD who is nearly 4 has gone from a 2 year old toddler to a little girl who is running round and I've missed it all. I know we have Facetime etc but it's really, really isn't the same. My achy heart is breaking. Come on Mr Biden and Mr Johnson - open these borders. We don't want to go on holiday we just want to hug our children and our grandchildren.
