A Happy And Free' Summer?

[eve1974]

As predicted by our government we hope to have a more normal summer?

What’s your thoughts?


I think it will be more relaxed than now but that restrictions will go back to tiers?

There's no doubt that it'll be tiers when lockdown is relaxed,
Everything now depends on tackling the variants and getting everyone vaccinated , only then will a cessation of lockdown might happen

[woofgang]

I think more will be allowed outside but still controls inside

[bednobs]

i read a story earler that said restrictions were likely to be relaxed nationally rather than tiers

Hearing about the new variants and the rapid transmission rates, I fear we're in for extended lockdown over the next few months. Despite the vaccination programme, I think we're unlikely to see anything vaguely resembling normal this summer. Maybe some relaxation of the restrictions outdoors, lets hope so.

I think its more likely to be a national policy rather than tiers. Tiers dont work when people see them as easy to get round, by for example driving to a local town for a drink. And its to easy to say your confused or they can do it and there only 3 miles away so why cant we

[bobbinwales]

Unfortuantely as 50% of hospital intensive care beds are filled by under 55s and most of these wont be jabbed till middle of the year its too much of a risk to relax things much, so pubs will be shut . Are local pub/restraunt has told us our table booking for last December which was cancelled and carried forward will now not be before April as there not expecting to reopen

better be a heck of a meal when you get it, bobb.

Hard to say, we had a reasonably normal summer in 2020 and it wasn't a good idea. Hopefully by next summer most people will be vaccinated, maybe even twice, but I think there's still a lot we need to learn about the vaccines, about variants, about transmission etc etc.

Possibly no tiers after this lockdown.
