Are Foreign Holidays More Important Than Public Health?

<

I like a foreign holiday, as much as anyone else. I am struck, however, by the political howls of rage, following suggestions that Summer trips abroad for people in the UK, might not be feasible this year (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/21/uk-minister-hints-covid-rules-on-foreign-travel-could-extend-to-summer). Some politicians seem keener on their foreign holiday, than on public safety. Most popular foreign holiday locations, will still have large populations of unvaccinated residents/workers by June 2021. The higher the number of infections with Sars-CoV-2, the greater the probability of new viral variants arising. Governments might try to differentiate between (relatively) safe and (relatively) risky locations. People are, however, forced to mingle, when they travel. Just think about sitting on a coach or a plane. Think also about airport terminals. Do none of the politicians remember how Covid-19 first arrived in the UK? People returning from skiing holidays in Europe were a major factor. Even if a large proportion of the UK population are vaccinated by Summer, they may not be immune to all arriving variants. Could we have fewer temper-tantrums?
