No sympathy for people who booked a recent holiday

Headlines this morning have got me cross. People who are 'devastated' that their holiday to Spain that they booked last week won't go ahead as they can't quarantine on return and lost all their money.
How stupid to book a holiday when you know it is a risk. We were going to go away and had not booked anything as was leaving it till the last minute. . We still could but I would not expect my work to pay for me in quarantine on top of two weeks away. It is understandable if I had booked before the pandemic but why should a firm pay for quarantine for those who knowingly knew it may be a risk.
I have full sympathy for those that booked before the pandemic and at least they will be insured. But c'mon how can you be upset that you have lost your money for a holiday you booked last week and now can't go on due to quarantine?

Thanks for the reports about this thread.

Generally we try to nip things in the bud when we feel they're not in the spirit.

That said, by the time we were alerted to this thread, there were already several hundred replies on here - mainly with folk disagreeing with the OP's stance.

For that reason, we're leaving it standing rather than zapping it and losing all the very many supportive and sympathetic posts from other MNers.
