It's already happening in Ireland, Strict lockdown until May announced just today, no reason as to why, no plan as to how we work our way out of it etc.I'm extremely curious about how they'll handle the festive season again. Christmas being cancelled caused the greatest level of outcry I've seen thus far (ofc no one did anything about it though) and many die-hard COVID warriors actually broke the rules.
I think they'll either do a 5 day lockdown holiday like this year's proposal - no idea how that didn't set everyone's bullshit detector off, if we were really dealing with the Black Plague here and everything is for our protection, why would they give us a week off from these life-saving restrictions so we could kill granny - OR we'll see all of this play out pre-Christmas and we'll need to vax our way to festive freedom. "Vax for xmas" they'll call it. Or "vaxmas" ( but )
As for Christmas, this is something that has become very evident here since January.... The government did not listen to our spoiled child NPHET (Ireland's Public Health equivalent) coming up to Christmas. Since late December, despite backlogs, reduced testing hours etc, the numbers went up almost magically to prove NPHET's point and deamonise Christmas and call people selfish for wanting Christmas.
You can bet your bank balance this will be the rest of 2021 for Ireland and possibly UK
May - Restrictions will ease but wont go away fully (This is how they keep the temporary laws active - Mask wearing and distancing will be justified)
June - Travel ban to Australia and New Zealand will be put in place if not already
July - Horror stories will emerge from Australia about the "rampant strains" because that side of the world is in Winter. New Zealand will remain the poster child as long as its being run by the biggest virtue signaller to grace politics since Justin Trudeau
Aug - YAY everyone is vaccinated!!! But..... we cant be complacent! Masks still to be used, distance maintained and hugging gran with a shower curtain.
Sept - Fear mongering will build up this side of the world about new "vaccine resistant strains". There is an opportunity here for media to fuel hate to levels previously unseen by pitting the totally brainwashed double maskers against the ordinary joe who has become complacent and also anti-vaxxers for being at fault for the "new strains"
Oct - Restrictions (that never went away) will be leveled up again, slowly but steadily in line with the gaslighting to increase fear.
Nov - Slow kite flying to inform people not to expect Christmas to determine public buy-in. The "we can't throw it all away for one day" will be rolled out and we will all be racist for accepting lockdown during other religious festivals but not Christmas.
Dec - If no protests occur, Christmas is dead for good
Jan - If Christmas don't happen, the beginning of an economic depression not seen since the early 1900s (if it's not already happened) with high street retailers becoming insolvent
