The day before I'm traveling to the UK, a friend tags me in a post about a more contagious delta variant popping up over there. Thanks!

To be honest, I probably wouldn't have booked the trip if the situation had been as bad then as it is now. But it's booked, I spent a lot of money and I want to go to London, damn it! Of course I'll be careful, try to avoid masses of people and still wear a mask.

I filled in my passenger locator form just now - that's a lot of information they want! And I paid for the bloody day 2 test even though I will leave the UK again on day 1. By day 2 after arrival I'll be on another train back to the city

The numbers in Germany are ridiculous. I'm happy to be going home but a 7 day incidence of 346 per 100.000 in my city.... YIKES! That's actually higher than London! How, I do not understand, when in Germany there are still restrictions. But the numbers are going up in London as well :/ It's not exactly going to be a carefree trip to forget about all these problems for a while.
