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.Good to hear, hope it continues! This is something I am a little confused about though, how will they know if the lockdown is causing the decline or the vaccine?
Will they judge it by if less people from vaccinated groups are admitted but people from non vaccinated groups continue to be admitted in line with expected percentages in lockdown? Seems tricky to measure.
Been staying away from the tabloids to be honest and only checking the daily figures and vaccinations. But I’ll biteThis is my worry too.

They’ll know very shortly apparentlyGood to hear, hope it continues! This is something I am a little confused about though, how will they know if the lockdown is causing the decline or the vaccine?

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 impactThey’ll know very shortly apparently
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.. 2022/23 thing? Are they now speculating we are in full lockdown until 2023? Wouldn’t surprise me...
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.
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
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.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
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.
People are stupid here though, we can’t be trusted to go to the pub and not act like delinquents
There was a rise in cases after the Eat Out to Help Out schemeWhilst I agree with this. Pubs and restaurants were open over the summer and as far as I have seen they didn’t contribute to a huge spread of cases.
At some point things have to change from the mentality of not being able to do anything because of covid to living with covid. Hopefully the vaccines will start to offer enough protection we can all learn to live with it rather than how we are living right now. These lockdowns are not to irradiate covid but protect the NHS so it can cope.
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.I think I’m going to have real anxiety when things open up again it’s going to be taken away again. It’s going to take me a long time to relax, does that make sense?
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
