21 June optimistic ?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Should be lifting the restrictions now, not in june. Half the country vaccinated, we're told that were doing this lockdown to protect the NHS, then it's to protect the vulnerable. Now what's it for?
Well be sorting the damage from these lockdowns for at least 20 years. Not just economically, but the mental and health toll. |

We'll get a clearer perspective closer to that stage. Next week has lifting of restrictions on groups. April has pubs etc open.
The effects from those and any other changes happening can only be guessed at. |

Pubs reopening last summer didn’t cause a spike in cases without the added benefit of the vaccination program. |

21st June I fear is threatened by the worldwide COVID variants and the uncertainty of the vaccination supply. If masks and social distancing is still mandatory then all clubs will remain closed. Look out for private parties springing up for vaccinated swingers.  |

Totally agree. Be an entirely different story if Boris and co lived in a two bed house with 3 kids and a tiny garden.
0.4% of the population were at risk of death from covid, all of those have been vaccinated now, plus over 50% of the country had at least one jab with an efficacy of around 80%. Seems to me that they're looking at eradication rather than containment. |

The vast majority of the at risk group have now had at least one jab already. I swear if all this “third wave hitting our shores” talk is Boris sowing seeds for another lockdown based on some bulkshit variant I honestly don’t know how I’ll react. Well, ignoring the rules will be a given anyway |

How is it going to be necessary to lockdown if 98% of the at risk groups are vaccinated ?
Dont say mutant strain because that's a load of bollox. |

My concern is that there will come a point (if it hasn't been passed already) where the damage caused by lockdowns and restrictions causes more fatalities and illness than covid itself. |

There is a massive document released by government along with the road map, read it. It even says lots of ifs and but and also mitigating measures such as SD and Masks at wedding etc when they are allowed to happen so the work won’t be the same and we will stil has to be very careful especially with variants.

That's right, it is all about working towards lifting the restrictions completely whilst not increasing the infection rate.

There is a 3rd wave of the virus spreading across Europe and sure as eggs are eggs we will be hit with the virus again. The idiots who are gathering in protests and riots are not helping the brilliant efforts being made by the NHS to get get everyone vaccinated and create a safer place for us all. This coronavirus has no boundaries and does not discriminate in who it infects. If this nation needs to have any lockdown in force to try and defeat the virus then so be it.
I, like many others, am fed up of my life being restricted for so long but I realise that there is a very good reason for such.
Surely another few months of missing out on holidays and going to the pub for a drink
For a few months more is worth it rather than risk more deaths? |

Don’t you people get it ..?
Look how we’ve gone it the last 8 weeks from 1000’s of deaths to the 20’s in just that amount of time, we were at this point in Aug-Sept last year and look what happened then so slow and steady wins the race we are nearly there this time |

"I fear so. "
Absolutely.. Think the rose tinted lenses are coming off now and people are seeing the real situation.
I would say October maybe November before things change and even then masks and new SD measures for pubs and clubs etc for a while after that too unfortunately |

Just want to raise a point here.. The ' idiots' as you call them absolutely are /were. However, they weren't many in numbers.
If you watch and read media that is true and not sensationalist you will see that a huge number of peaceful protestors were wearing face coverings and doing their best to be at least Covid safe
That protest is important and necessary and will get bigger in the next few months once people realise what it means.
Sadly the youth, the plastic anarchists and airy fairy hippies and right in radicals ruined something and played directly into the hands of a government currently doing all they can to steal our freedoms on a permanent not temporary basis..
Tell the truth, print the truth and above all be honest..
Don't believe the hype! |

If we will be sorting out the damage for the next 20 years, just a few more months to make things a bit safer, won't matter will it.
Whats 3 months in 20 years.

A lot! Weve been "nearly getting there" for a year with the goal posts constantly moving.
Lockdowns are about control and sneaking in dubious laws not about health. |

Not so sure about social distancing but face coverings will be here for much longer as there has been no mention of lifting the law on those. |

Actually thats not whats been reported.
The 21st of June it is proposed that most restrictions could be lifted but then Boris said yesterday that because of the 3ed wave in most of Europe it will be inevitable that we see the affects of that here. |

But he "DID NOT" say that it put us back in lockdown or that we would have social-distancing for another two years. He said that it is inevitable that it will impact us in some way. The most likely impact will be the ongoing quarantine on entering the country and travel bans... but we will find out when we actually have to deal with it.

"Boris has also said that none of the current situations should impact the timings of his "road map""
He also said that about Christmas and schools closing again so he's known to get things wrong!
I will wait until each restriction is lifted and go from there. |

The UK vaccination programme in its speed of delivery has been extraordinarily successful, but we are a very long way from exiting the societal restrictions necessary to 'control' this virus.
For the foreseeable future, potentially for years, life as we have known it for the past half century, is over.
Every virus's principal function is to spread to other hosts; that can only be curtailed by vaccinating those hosts or limiting contact between them.
Every government wants to avoid the apocalyptic scenario of exponentially increasing infection rates, overwhelmed health services and unacceptable death rates.
I had the jab in Belfast two weeks ago, and eagerly look forward to my second.
This is the most pervasive crisis we have faced for decades, possibly for centuries; the virologists and epidemiologists know the seriousness of this problem.
Governments are trying to avoid economic and social collapse.

The staged relaxation of restrictions should give you much of what you want, doesn't it? The next change is on Monday. You've seen the success of vastly reduced infection levels, hospital admissions etc, by lockdown and vaccination measures? We're reducing the potential for another variant starting here, by reducing the infection levels too, so are giving ourselves a more solid foundation for sustaining lower infection levels that will help to stop further lockdowns.
A year ago we had lockdown 1, when everything was increasing and getting so much worse. We're now in the opposite position, winding down lockdown 3, as things are reducing. I don't think anyone who died as a result of lockdowns being relaxed too quickly last year would recommend that we do the same this time, if they could speak from their wisdom, beyond the grave.
There are still many people who can get infected and could get long covid, potentially affecting them well in to the future. They deserve a better future. |
