> only a couple went to the extent of attempting to prohibit their own citizens from leaving

OK then, but the UK is currently one of those places. Without good reason it's currently prohibited.

ANd I honestly don't have a problem with it, we're in the midst of a pandemic. :shrug:

I have a problem with it. The definition of "pandemic warranting a lockdown" is a national one, and other countries have a different opinion on it.

By all means, protect your own country by preventing people from going in, but people should be free to leave to a different place with more relaxed rules at their own risk.

The issue is people coming back from these places.

Preventing your citizens from coming back is worse.
