    Pretty much concurs with my prediction. Advantage is the new saver - be thankful the result ends up this good. IMO, international travel for the foreseeable future will return to being something the few do ... to very limited destinations. STOP BUYING POINTS!

    Australian Reports of the Virus Spread

    Don't agree with that. I prefer some contact, particularly when dispensing drugs. We have 20+ year relationship with our family doctor, the NHS must have a better safety net system than the one your describing :eek: 1585825697 Q - why remove 2/3 of my post? If you're going to quote - quote!

    If the vaccine takes longer than the arrival of the next flu season - rinse and repeat. Ask yourself, how long will it take to vaccinate >7 Billion people? International travel is rooted for the foreseeable future, IMHO.

    Is it Time to transfer/withdraw points from Velocity?
