There is no perfect system. Right now the restrictions are justified and I agree with them but as vaccination percentages rise and more countries enter agreements to travel in certain conditions more will question why we can't do the same.

Once we are mostly vaccinated and infections / deaths drop dramatically what will the next excuse be?

As to countries? The green list England is adopting is a good start, as well as Vietnam, Hong Kong and any other country that has an obvious handle on the situation.
Don't think lawyers will be needed. Major economies who have been able to competently roll out their vaccination will start opening up with each other, and when that happens, Gov here will feel the pressure to open up. This will start with small bubbles, then get bigger and bigger. We've already heard the notion of allowing fully vaccinated people to quarantine at home being floated by Gov, and also allowing people of influence, e.g. CEOs to travel more freely. Hopefully by then we will have completed 1a, 1b and 2a.

UK and US not far off. Give it 6 months and they'll open up with vaccinated countries. Europe will quickly catch up once they get going. Countries that have covid in the community but can't get access to vaccines will be left behind.
