It'll be when it is and no point thinking about it really ... at the moment it's getting worse so as long as we all do our bit hopefully sooner rather than later! |

Total normality - not for a few years.
Being able to mix socially without restriction on numbers - late 2021/ early 2022.
Sounds depressing doesn't it? I hope it's earlier than that. |

If we are lucky and the UK government is not as incompetent as I believe, we will reach a reasonable vaccination rate around the same time next year, hopefully containing and stopping the spread. So you may have a good hope to start swinging again in summer next year.  |

It’s a nightmare for everyone. You just have to cope as best you can until we work through it
There is no end date to a virus that is now more prolific than at the start.
Take each day as it comes and at some stage we will come out of this
“ we isolate now so that when we can gather again, no one is missing  “ |

"post-Covid normality?"
Post-covid normality will not be like the pre-covid normality. These things have a habit of shaping the future, the way all significant incidents do.
I think '21 is a goner, and maybe we can think of '22 as being closer to the new norm. In saying that, I think lockdown as we know it know is not sustainable for long. I think it brings problems while solving others.
The only way out as I see it is to get the population vaccinated as soon and as quickly as possible. This needs to be done 24/7. Vaccinating 60 million people isn't an easy task, but needs to be the number one government priority. |

We are free. We've had limits imposed on us due to an illness that spreads rapidly through the population causing huge problems. But we're still free to think, write, say and read what we like. We're free to challenge authority, contact our loved ones and friends via various means, teach our children the values, morals and ideas we would like them to live by, marry who we like, have as many or no children.. . well you get the picture.
We're free, we just have temporary limitations on what we're able to do |

right now i am preparing myself for this lockdown to probably get stricter and be extended til maybe the end of march and just focussing on getting myself to the end of that one day at a time
i don’t have a bubble and to think about not seeing anyone longer than that is too much for me just now ... if it goes on longer i will deal with it when the time comes
hoping at that point we might get back to being allowed an occasional brunch or something or some travel even with negative with test and quarantine rules which i managed last year
but back to actual normal i daren’t even think about just now |

It has just come up that Johnson will keep pubs shut for at least a, further 5 months
So for those that think a, return for clubs opening any time soon can forget it. Clubs, are at the back of the queue |

It's going to be perceived individually, depending on lifestyle variations. Some don't ever go abroad, rarely to social venues, so they may perceive all is good much sooner than others, who travel a lot, go to concerts and have zero hours working etc.
People going to swinging clubs, swinging holidays, with an active social calendar, including pubs, hotels and more, could find normality comes slower.
I think we'll see stability in 2022 |

I can't see that things will return to pre covid times for some years. Now we have covid among us, it's probably going to need onward managing. That may still require social distancing and potentially annual jabs or whatever frequency they seem appropriate (depending on any variants of strains, but could be similar to the flu jab)
I heard they were hoping to have vaccinated the majority by Autumn and then will have another winter ahead to see the effectiveness I guess. |

All the measures the government are taking are being driven by hospital admissions... and these are the people who are most vulnerable and who will all have been vaccinated by March. We should see hospitalisations coming down pretty rapidly after that and things being eased. |

I agree but there will not be a return to the old normal. Too many people , clubs , businesses and jobs gone. The fallout from lockdowns will cause a massive recession . |

This year can be written off in my opinion. Family interaction is what I yearn for with us both having very elderly parents and it looks like that in itself is a long way off. Anyone hoping for a return to swinging,meets or clubs this calendar year is probably going to be disappointed. Just my opinion. Lou |

"It’ll end when society decides the death rate is acceptable just like they do with flu.
One of the most realistic and sensible posts I’ve seen here"
. Couldn’t agree more, the majority of the public will lose patience with Whitty and the doommongers once the death rate reduces dramatically as i’m sure it will |

It's not going to go away some people say which is believable if people don't stop being fools it will get easier but people need to be smart in their daily lifes or as we have seen the rates will start going up again and again. |

Belgian Health Minister Frank Vandenbroucke has said he expects their country to return to 'normal life's by September.
They plan to immunize 9m people against Covid-19 by the end of the summer..
That's 70% of their 11 million population.
How long it will take our Government to immunize 70% of the British public?  |

15 months minimum... Basically after next winter.
The vaccine won't start to make a difference for 6 months at least ... Gonna be a year minimum before we get vaccine to all groups. Until then we need to distance to stop overloading the nhs for other treatments. |

Ain't that the truth! I gave up early on someone was arguing the point it was ok to go to the shop for just a loaf of bread without a mask because they couldn't wear one! So ok I get that some cant wear them! I empathize I really do! But no one but no one needs to go to shop for just a loaf?? Just go without till the next big shop? X |

"I think around the end of this year, and maybe some time in the first half of 2022."
As many have said already its going to be 2022 before anything close to normality becomes feesable -and sadly that's probably a very best case scenario without anymore unexpected curveballs e.g. new variants, vaccine resistant or god for bid we find out the vaccine only offers protecttion for so long. If those things come to pass then we will be looking at 2023 before we are anything close to our old lives again.
There's so many factors and curveballs that will hinder the road to recovery which is sadly a very narrow path we find ourselves on.
I have friends who have pinned all there hopes on Boris previously saying we will be out of the woods and going back towards normal for March and the start of spring. Ifs the only thing keeping them going through the strain of been a key worker.
I fear the big battle has only just begun. For the sake of my own mental health I am trying to come to terms with 2021 been a complete right off.

Not normality as we know it but by spring we will have vaccinated the bulk of the population who are most likely to need hospital care. Once that has happened pressure on the NHS will simply evaporate and restrictions will be eased significantly but far from a return to normal. Infections will continue thoughout the summer but deaths will be confined to unvaccinated under 60s with numbers measured in high 10s per day rather than 1000s dropping to 10s per week by Autumn. Just so long as we don’t see a mutated strain that isn’t covered by the current vaccines, but let’s be hopeful. |

I work on the basis that when the time comes, it will come. All things come in their own time. I never worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow is not guaranteed. Just gotta make it through today.
I'm usually hyper organised and planned, but I just flipped a switch in my head and put down the diary and thoughts of plans, and felt it better to go with the flow. See where the wind blows me  |

Looking at the data, I think it will be a weird gradual release. Once the most vulnerable are vaccinated the death rate will drop, probably quite dramatically, the pressure on the hospitals will ease and the economic (and political) pressure will be to re-open, but I suspect it will be a gradual process. The models suggest June/July for some easing, perhaps late summer some semblance of normality, some minor issues next winter but as long as the vaccines work then Spring 2022. By then I may have forgotten what actual face to face fun feels like... |

It depends on what you/we want in regard as less restrictions. Retail will open up again and schools back again by early spring. As far as hospitality opening up again 2 months after schools and retail.
Night clubs and saunas/clubs opening up again will not be until Sept 21.
As for trips abroad there could be restrictions in place for some years to come. Gradually the Government will release list of country's deamed to be safe to travel to. In my regard Australia could well be another 18 months before I get to go again. There is no desire from Australia to open back up soon. |
