When will travel restrictions be lifted?
For in and around Europe. Obviously people are dying and me travelling is certainly not essential however I’m just wondering when we can fly to other countries to see our family/ friends? My boyfriend lives in France atm and is stuck there and can’t even come back to graduate ( he’s an international student? Do you think by July we can fly again?

The smart thing to do would be to lift them when for a week or two no new patients are admitted to hospital for covid-19 anymore. Sure it's a nuisance, but when you lift them too early you can expect a new wave of infections

It really depends on how individual countries handle the situation, and if people actually DO self-isolate and take the necessary precautions to stop the spread.

When its safe to do so but not until then.

No one can answer that question. This is totally unprecedented. We have never been through this before. So much depends on what people do. If they self-isolate, experts say we can knock out the virus in 14 days. But people are not self-isolating. Maybe warm weather and sunshine will slow the transmission- we don't know. Most schools aren't having graduation anyway. You'll just have to wait until June and see what things are like.

No one knows for sure when borders will reopen and flying will be available. July seems unlikely at this point.

We can't stay quarantined forever. This quarantine nonsense is negatively effecting everything including the economy. Viruses spread, it's what they do. We're going to have to come to terms with that sooner than later and lift the quarantine and restrictions.
I am not saying 'let it kill everyone'. The truth and fact of this whole coronavirus mess is what I said above, this is what viruses do, and its symptoms are no worse than a minor to mild cold for people who become infected with it that have a normal immune system. We have been surviving and recovering from common colds for thousands of years without medications, treatments, or vaccines for it.
The cure for the symptoms it causes is a balanced diet, plenty of fluids (stay hydrated), and maybe boost our immune system by eating extra foods that give us nutrients that help our immune system or take suppliments. The preventative measures to prevent getting covid-19 are the same things everyone should be doing all of the time to prevent getting sick anyway.
The people who are dying from it already had a condition that made their immune system weak. We generally know who those people are. In my opinion a better approach to quarantine and isolate people who are at risk instead of bringing the entire world to a screeching hault over a common cold virus.
People with normal immune systems fully recover and then have immunity to it because their body naturally created an immunity to it. It has not killed a single person who was healthy and had a strong immune system before they became infected.
- Home school children. That is proabably the best idea to keep young children safe who have not yet formed a good immune system because they are young.
- Allow people with weakended immune systems to work from home. Many, very many, companies are still operating by allowing their employees to work at home. Keep people with compromised immune systems safe, at home, let the world continue to run with those of us who are healthy for the things that need to be done that can't be done at a desk through a computer like logistics (the delivery of goods).
- Give the elderly who might be at risk a break, a discount, on their rent, food and supplies. Establish more delivery and basic care services like medical aids, cleaning services, life assistants (create more jobs!) for the elderly so they don't have to go out and subject them selves to the posibility of becoming infected.
- Allow companies to become and produce more automation in their manufacturing and production process by forcing the companies that build and create that automation to significantly decrease their prices. Allow those companies that manufacture and produce machines for production automation a tax break but tax business owners more and put a percentage of the increased tax rates for being automated in to an escrow people can have access to (like welfare assistance).
We are headed toward losing more jobs to automation anyway...we need to prepare for it by putting something in place so when more (almost all) jobs for people are exterminated from automation people will still have financial resources to get the things they need to survive.
It can be done. It's not impossible. And the fact is we're all going to be at home and jobless due to technology very soon. We need to start preparing for it by putting things in place right now instead of waiting until it happens.

I wish I knew as it would make a lockdown much 'easier' to deal with. However it's not known and even when affected numbers start to drop, in all countries, travel may still be restricted in case there's another flare. Life as we know it may remain totally different for a very long time.
I wish it were possible to sue China for opening Pandora's Box like they have. I know I won't be buying from that country again, which I've not been doing for a long time as delivery is unreliable, and quality terrible.
