This is my worry too. Also because now everyone in the press is hysterical it will be intense eyes on the reopening even though the vulnerable are protected. This is where the 2022/23 thing is coming from.
Been staying away from the tabloids to be honest and only checking the daily figures and vaccinations. But I’ll bite
.. 2022/23 thing? Are they now speculating we are in full lockdown until 2023? Wouldn’t surprise me... 
They’ll know very shortly apparently
Ah well that’s good, I did notice the hospital admissions graph was falling quite steeply so hopefully at least a bit of that is from the vaccine impact
I think I was okay until I read this article in the guardian
As someone with asthma who has had a couple of incidents with difficulty breathing this has just terrified me

The usual "life wont be normal for another two years"....Been staying away from the tabloids to be honest and only checking the daily figures and vaccinations. But I’ll bite
As in worldwide travel, festivals, big events etc. Basically all the fun stuff
I’m the oppositeI agree. We were watching a show last night and the people were at a restaurant and I said "I don't think I will want to drink from a restaurant glass again" and my husband agreed, lol. The idea of eating out freaks me out. We get takeaways but packaging goes to the outdoor bin and we reheat the food. I think there will be a lot of psychological damage that will have to be worked through. I think kids will also have some damage from not socialising, just seeing people in masks, etc, especially as many of our adulthood issues stem from childhood. It is very sad.
If this ended tomorrow I’d be straight back into a sweaty crowd at a gig! If this goes on too much longer I really worry about the long term psychological damage it’s going to have - particularly on children.It did in the NE, it rose gradually since they reopened and we were in a mess before schools even opened.
We had hen and stag parties from all over the country coming to Newcastle
To be honest I think cases rose in the NE as we hadn’t really had our peak like all of down south in April time. During the first lockdown cases in the NE were really low, Matt Hancock even commented on it during a briefing. We shut down based on it being really bad in London, and opened up when London was ok.. but the virus was still making its way to the NE
At one point there was just a handful of cases a week per local authority up here, then it gradually rose as things opened up.
People are stupid here though, we can’t be trusted to go to the pub and not act like delinquents
That very true, I know a fair few who would fit that sentanceAt one point there was just a handful of cases a week per local authority up here, then it gradually rose as things opened up.

There was a rise in cases after the Eat Out to Help Out scheme
Rishi Sunak 'targets business tax rises' to plug £400bn black hole
The Chancellor is mulling increases to capital gains tax - paid on shares and other asset sales to bring it into line with income tax rates. Corporation tax could also rise from 19 to 24 per cent.
Dishi Rishi out and about in smart casual for you ladies
He's looking pretty grey up top I wonder why
Britain to give Ireland priority in any sharing of Covid vaccines
Ministers examining sharing vaccines with other countries as soon as supplies for domestic programme assured, source says
Called it
Would be very bad optics if EU said no but for everyone’s sake, hope that by the time they can give Ireland vaccines, the EU situation is in better shape
Jeez let’s hope those vaccines work
I have a question... If the new strains of covid are 30-80% more contagious should we not be taking extra precautions to mitigate against this e.g. standing 3m apart?
What does 30-80% more contagious actually mean... that I'd you're stood next to somebody the original strain may not reach you but the new strain travels faster in the air/for longer... does anybody know? Tia
Fully agree with comments about the NHS and not opening up society too soon.

Blow that trumpet!!! We've not been able to say that much has gone we during this pandemic for us in the UKRecord number of daily vaccines for the UK. Not blowing the UK trumpet, just posting what the BBC said, before any one gets all angry at me about it

That fine and jail time is a brilliant deterent. I hope we see measures like that in the UK.Our provincial government released a new timeline for things reopening and it is based on hospital numbers... for the first time, they have released a plan that makes a lot of sense. There will be 3 weeks in between each stage to assess the numbers and if they go up again, we will go back to the previous step. They will also be keeping an eye on the UK and South African variants too and how they are spreading. With those steps and the mandatory testing on entry to Canada/mandatory quarantine, I am feeling a bit more hopeful. The government has hired private security to follow on those who test negative upon arrival and can go home but must still quarantine for 14 days... if they fail to do so, they can be fined $750,000 or get 6 months in jail. Those who test positive will have to quarantine at a government facility for 14 days.

This absolutely makes sense. I feel cabin fever'y and anxious ATM but the thought of having to go back to life and is with people fills me with utter free atm.

They should have got Gazza to do the stay at home message for the North East.That very true, I know a fair few who would fit that sentance
Piers was very complimentary about Captain Tom and his family.
I didn’t realise he was suffering with pneumonia for “a long time”, which prevented him from getting the vax. I’m confused why anyone thought it was a good idea to take a man with respiratory problems on a long haul flight in the middle of a pandemic. I wish him well.
