Was in Kos last October, from which you can throw a stone at Turkey and it was in the high 20s every day.

I assume with kids. Not a chance I would risk kids having another two weeks off school.

It's a personal decision and I haven't got school aged kids now but I think kids have missed their mates enough.

Op should go to Leicester or Blackburn or Glasgow iirc

There appears to be an obsession in certain circles about getting a foreign holiday. Almost more important than life and limb it would seem.

already been to all 3 Blackburn is a proper f***ing shithole

Don't bother - schools will remain open and no holiday will be had.
All part of the "catching-up" the bairns will have to do.
Also no February half term and just a week for Easter.
And deffo no Whit week holidays.

Putting my tin foil hat on I reckon Turkey has corona virus problem and it will just be a matter of time before it gets out, just like Greece.

The refugee crisis they suffered a couple of years ago crippled the tourism industry and I think they'd do anything to avoid a repeat.

That’s all wrong

might have introduced a temp check at airports by then, would delay booking anything irrespective of how desperate you are.

Afghan to Turkey isn’t a long flight so maybe go with it

Nothing wrong with wanting a couple of weeks in the sun.

If you're desperate to get away, then book up.
Just don't moan about it, if the place comes under restrictions. You know the risks.

Or maybe people just want to crack on with their lives a little

maybe just maybe i have absolutely no fear whatsoever of this virus, so by going on holiday i feel i am probably more at risk of cutting my foot on a broken tile on the swimming pool that i am of actually catching something and being ill.

in fact i wish i could get an antibody test as im sure i had the fucker back in January

Or maybe people just want to crack on with their lives a little

exactly that

Correct, but surely in the current situation you would consider the possible risks before leaping in.

Or maybe people just want to crack on with their lives a little

Maybe cracking on with their lives a little will put others at risk.

It's nice that you can be so confident that you have zero fear.
