Keep us locked down until Easter I'm sure 🙄
No one's allowed to die of anything ever and the government can just pay for everything. Utopia achieved.

Unlock everything with social distancing from April 6th. Vaccinate all adults.
All going well ditch everything about from quarantine and restrictions around hospital from 1st June.

Hope so.
Word on the street is we’ll be going back in to lockdown next November in Wales for the winter months

Annual COVID vaccination in the Autumn will be a thing as will short lockdowns in November and/or January for a few years I suspect.

Government almost certainly wants to avoid a third lockdown at all costs. Economic impact would be huge - not to mention the political cost.
Also sense they don't trust a significant part of the population to act sensibly.

Apparently hospital beds in England are being freed up quickly now. The number of Covid patients being treated is down 23% in a week and 7% in the last day alone.
As of this evening there are still 17,700 people in English hospitals with Covid but that’s half what it was just 4 weeks ago. I think they will want to get that number below 10,000 before they ease the lockdown. 8th March looking about right to do so.
-
@sparky yeah the UK numbers are certainly promising, both new infections and deaths
My mother-in-law and her partner that live in Scotland have been vaccinated, father-in-law in Uttoxeter not yet, although if he hadnt moved from Herts a month or so back I expect he probably would have by now as his brother has.

Sadly too many of the population seem to want a firm nanny state at present. My view is a permanent lock-down (varying in degreee) to save lives would be embraced and applauded by enough to offset a declining economy as small businesses go under. And removal of our basic human rights

Judging from the vibe during this current lockdown and looking at evidence such as number of vehicles on the road compared to lockdown 1, I would say you couldn’t be further from the truth.
