The_DADDY Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 As the title really. I hope with every fibre of my being that there are no more lockdowns but my gut tells me there are more to come. What are your thoughts? Am I just being a pessimist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butlers Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Spring is coming and that saw numbers fall off a cliff. I think the only place restrictions may come back is in vaccine resistant areas if it spikes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hauxwell Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I’m going to be optimistic and hope that there will be no more hard lockdowns. If the virus starts to spread again I’m hoping the covid vaccine will do it’s job and stops people form becoming seriously ill, therefore protecting the national health. It’s the new variants of the virus I’m worried about and can only hope the scientists can tweak the vaccine to cope with them. Im keeping my fingers crossed that the vaccine also prevents the spread of the virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) The general public have been told vaccines are the way out, and they are working, and therefore they wont accept another lockdown and it will lead to civil unrest.

Thirsty Relic Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'd like to say that we're over the worst and we'll have no more lockdowns, but I think we will. We've got to the stage that we can cautiously start opening up, but now people are chomping at the bit for foreign holidays with little or no restrictions on Covid checking/quarantining when they return. That can only lead to more infections in my opinion, and more infections lead to........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of lockdowns was to stop strain on the NHS, if the vaccine works then the NHS wont be put at a strain. If they put lockdowns in place for this reason, see my last post for what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I'm hoping this is the last one. I keep reading little headlines that dent that confidence, AZ might not work against the braziallian variant, the South African variant might get round Pfeizer. It's a worry.
