>supposedly there are well over 10,000 people "trying" to get back... though in my experience, and talking to everyone in my quarantine hotel and on my flight, I don't actually believe that's true.

Speaking for myself, I am not wanting to return permanently, so I do not want to take the quota place of someone who does want to. There is also uncertainty for me if I would be able to leave the country.

I do want to see my family however, and I have no idea when that will be possible. Video calls only do so much.

I'm in a similar boat, and I chose to come back. I'll be here for 18 months.

I will now have to apply for an "exemption" to leave, though with my proof of residency and personal business in another country, I should be fine (all fingers are crossed)
