I had to book emergency flights back to the UK on a day's notice last year before Christmas because all the countries were closing borders. My partner would've missed it and been stuck abroad if I didn't tell her about it. In a world as connected as ours, finding out what's relevant and what's not is a continuous struggle.

You didn't know there was a pandemic going on and that countries were reacting by restricting travel? I find that hard to believe.

Last christmas was the delta scare I believe, with sudden unexpected closures.
