They don’t have a clue do they. This is the frightening part. There is literally no end in sight

Makes sense not to pledge anything. It depends upon how quickly they can get vaccines into the majority of the population. Care homes not even completely done yet so we’ve got some way to go.

Great news - we will really start to see falls now in cases i am sure.

I hope so. I’ve come home from work & put the news on and they are reporting we might be in lockdown till summer . Depressing if true

I can't believe I'm doing this, as I can't stand our government, but in their defence you can see how easily that headline has been spun. They literally don't know what will happen in one month, never mind a few, and anyone who says otherwise is lying. There's an element of just playing it by ear sadly. Anyway, I presume they would have been asked if lockdown was gonna end before the summer months, and they said they're not sure what will happen and we'll have to see. And then you get headlines that heavily imply they're considering locking us down in Summer...when that's likely not what they said. Just said they don't know what will happen.

As will we. No way will we really exit until pretty much everyone over 60 is immunised imo. Maybe even over 50.

Hurrah!. A hefty fine for everyone who attends a party.

An obvious thing mentioned in here that is way overdue.

You want a party you accept the fine as a fee you charge all who attend.

Most will not pay £800 fines each.

What an irresponsible tweet. Does the MUEN want infections and deaths to be 0 for three weeks running or something before they beg the government to be released from restrictions. The infection is here to stay and whilst it is worse than flu in terms of mortality it looks like we will have to live it moving forward and accept it. And whilst we can all do our bit by wearing masks, socially distancing etc to help keep the R rate down in the future I don't think we can ever eradicate it now. We will see years, possibly decades of mass vaccinations etc but over the next couple of months as more people are vaccinated, better weather returns, R rate is reduced to a more manageable figure for the NHS to cope then we will see restrictions lifted. However I can't see them all lifted at once unfortunately.
