UK Covid death toll

[Ossian]

Question for people on this thread.

How long are you reasonably prepared to tolerate the restrictions for? If you were told today that nothing will change in 2021 what would your thoughts be?

Surely there has to come a point where there is a way out of this. If by summer we have everyone over 50 vaccinated then would you still be fine with lockdown? Or maybe by September when all adults will have been offered the jab according to recent reports?

If the virus resists the vaccines then are we going to wait for a new vaccine and remain locked down indefinitely?

As long as my family are okay I'll cope with most things. Having to wear a mask is at most a minor inconvenience; avoiding contact with other people is no hardship for me, although I know my wife and son miss their friends so, for that reason, I'd welcome some easing of the restrictions. If I'm not with either one or both of them I prefer my own company - there's never a shortage of things to do.

I suppose lockdown means less of a change for me than it does for normal people. I've been preparing for it for a good many years, although obviously I wasn't aware of that at the time.

I'd like Mrs O to have her vaccine because she works in a school, and although it could cost her eight hundred quid to be caught in somebody else's house, it would be okay for her to be in a classroom with members of thirty different households if Ms Patel had her way.
