Do we actually think they would put the country into a 4, 5 th, 6th lockdown though? Surely enough people would see that the rest of the world had moved on by then and there wouldn't be enough compliance to bother?! (Wishful thinking)
What should those of us in hospitality and events do!? Just shut shop and give up and move on as what's the point in having the sector at all if only open for 4 months a year!? Seriously.
I would really hope not, but it sounds like they are preparing the idea of another winter lockdown to ‘protect the nhs’. With the extension of furlough I imagine there will be some restrictions lasting until September, and then - I really hope I’m wrong but I’d be unsurprised at this point as it’s quite predictable - another variant is announced, the vaccine doesn’t protect against it, it’s also time for everyone’s booster jabs, plus flu season because everyone’s immune systems are weakened by lockdown, and there you have it, another lockdown.
It’s total madness how life is relatively normal here in the states, even ones where we still have mask mandates. I would love to see what Florida is like at the moment as it sounds very normal! We have family in Texas so I need to check how things are there too.
We are seriously considering getting tourism/second home visas for my parents to spend winter in Florida next year, just in case. As long as borders open it should be possible to get one
Also congrats
@DreamDolly on the puppies, how adorable!
