"do you think lock down is coming or not?"
Personally I don't, but I was reading on a serious debate forum earlier today, that lots of officials were posting that they believe it will happen.
I wonder how many people will actually conform though. |

"Depends on what happens to the numbers but it's possible for January. No chance this side of the new year."
Every chance they will try but maybe struggle to get further restrictions through parliament, judging on tonight’s vote on plan B |

It is for you 
I can't see it happening in England though. The Xmas parties fucked what little chance there may have been of convincing people to comply. |

If the news coming out of SA is accurate, that omicron is much milder than what preceded it, then no. Checking the hospitalisations and deaths over the last couple of weeks in Birmingham, no. If you believe Boris ‘tsunami’ of cases, then yes |

Yes, it's inevitable.
The virus will constantly mutate and evolve new variants, until such time as it evolves itself down to a much lesser strain of concern.
Until then, variants of concern will randomly occur from time to time, some requiring lockdown to contain and manage due to their seriousness and virulence.
But each lockdown denies the virus, and cuts its opportunities, forcing it to evolve new strategies to survive, in a dwindling pool of potential hosts.
In that sense, each lockdown brings us close to the zenith of the pandemic, where it either mutates a god-awful strain that makes the The Plague/Black Death look positively fluffy, or it goes down a one-way avenue of self-destructive obsolescence. |

No.
They can try (well, I expect the Poison Dwarf of the Norf to try at least) but the likelyhood of success is so close to zero I stand a better chance of winning the Olympic 100m running on my hands!
Try as they might they cannot govern a country without consent and the national mood has very definately shifted away from consent to more lockdowns & restrictions. |

How much would you like the NHS to be able to give treatment to patients with other problems than Covid?
People who aren't getting vaccinated are creating the conditions for the NHS to have insufficient beds for A&E and other problems, if Covid serious sickness levels aren't prevented. |

Actually the majority of COVID patients in hospitals are vaccinated. And only around 5% of NHS beds are currently taken up by COVID. Get your facts right before throwing around wild claims.
Maybe the NHS could treat more patients with other conditions if they weren't devoting so much of their focus and resources to giving healthy young people pointless booster jabs. |

when you say majority that’s quite vague is it 51/49% and also if 85% or so of the population have been vaccinated it’s pretty likely that they will be in the majority making up 17/20 people |
