I imagine they don't want the thread to devolve into a fight as so many prior Covid threads have. Just want people to stick to the topic.
We had plans to go to France for the spring/summer. Our dog was old, the vet okayed him for one more trip but we promised to stay over there for the rest of his life. We were to leave here end of March.
Our family (strewn over three continents) decided to stage a family reunion in Austin, TX. We delayed our trip a week to go to Austin. Not only did the EU close its borders during that week, the flights to Austin were canceled due to Covid. So no reunion.
That's why we ended up spending Covid here, but we lucked out, since France's restrictions were much more stringent than ours here in FL. You couldn't be off your property more than a kilometer. Only one of you was allowed in the grocery store, and only so many people allowed in at a time. There was a curfew. You couldn't have more than six people in one place at one time. (My mah jongg group had very clever workarounds for this.) Every time you went out, you had to print out a paper stating when you left, where you were going, and you had to be back within an hour. Or fill out a form on your phone. Fines were something like 750 euros.
I think we only had three cases of Covid in our little village of 500 souls, but probably because a lot of us expats weren't there.
